Social Commentaries
To Mistris Dorothy Harpur, (now the Lady Fitzherbert.) ANAGRAMME. Pure Hart I hoord
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
LEt stupid worldlings stuffe their chests with gold;
Their glittering pelfe doth no proportion hold
With the Soules beauties, nor so safe doth lye
As thy rich worth, whose brest's a treasury.
