Social Commentaries
On the same (Like Tobies Dogge's a guilty Conscience)
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
Like Tobies Dogge's a guilty Conscience,
That still is grumbling wheresoere we come,
And though still beaten backe, and bidden hence,
Yet restlesly pursues and dogges us home.
