Social Commentaries
Davids Harpe out of Tune, after its Masters decease
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
How am I sleighted now, whose strings
Lately enchain'd the eares of Kings,
And seem'd by vertue of their charme
Th'infernall Dragon to disarme!
Now being of no note at all,
My mirth hangs with me on the wall,
Though still as good as ere did twang:
So may lost favourites goe hang.
