Social Commentaries
No truth in the World
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
False-hearted Laban, in faire Rachels stead,
Put bleare-ey'd Leah on his patient friend:
So though the World much blisse hath promised,
With blind conceite it gulls us in the end.
