To Amorer

by Thomas Bancroft fl. 1633–1658

From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I

Social Commentaries

How manlesse is thy dotage, to adore
That gilded rottennesse, that poison'd core
Of swelling prides Aposteme! Must therefore
Thou be a sheepe, 'cause shee's a Goatish Whore?
