The New World
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
Some in the Moone another World have found,
Whose brighter parts are Seas, the darker, Ground:
Which were it true, we should have Moone-calves tost
From those sharpe whirling Hornes to every Coast:
And a wild World it were, and full of tricks,
Where all Inhabitants were Lunaticks.
