Social Commentaries
On the Searchers of the North-west passage
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
Those that make proofe of what the Spaniards say,
Of that short Cut into the Southerne Maine,
Are like yong Gallants that with Cheaters play
At passage, and with losse repent in vaine.
