Social Commentaries
On our Saviour, wounded in the side
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
The Balsame-shrubbe, lanc'd in the rine,
Doth rich and fragrant teares distill:
But here's an upright Palme Divine,
From whose pierc'd side doth Nectar trill,
Whose droppes would dampe the rosie Morne
With sweets, and Galaxie adorne.
