Social Commentaries
To Tom Dizzy
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
Thou hast some do w-bak'd Learning I confesse,
But leaven'd so with pride, and peevishnesse,
That all distaste it: Mixe thy humours then
With courteous sweetnesse, most adorning men,
And throw proud fancies downe; so maist thou rise
At Fortunes next rebound, and stand for wise.
