Social Commentaries
To a Musitian, on his hurt finger
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
Thy Lute, that late seem'd in a desperate case,
(Like a torne vagrant without Hat or Band)
May hope to have its Treble match the Base,
Sith thy hurt finger's on the mending hand.
