Social Commentaries
To Lavolt, a fauourite
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
Moses into the aire light ashes threw,
And forthwith did a heavy plague ensue:
So if (dust that thou art) thou soare too high,
Sad vengeance will deject thy vanity,
Iust as that golden Calfes fine ashes were
In water cast, and worthlesse did appeare.
