Social Commentaries
To Mistresse Mutable
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
Love runnes within your veines, as it were mixt
With Quick-silver, but would be wisely fix't:
For though you may for beauty beare the Bell,
Yet ever to ring Changes sounds not well.
