Social Commentaries
To Iohn Whiteall, Gentleman
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
Let no man thinke the first worlds innocence
Quite lost, nor seeke prime goodnesse farther hence
Than your calme brest, embeam'd with Vertues light,
Whose Fame is like your Name, entirely white.
