Social Commentaries
To the same (What Gulfe's within thee, that thou swallow'st so?)
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
What Gulfe's within thee, that thou swallow'st so?
Is it to drowne all thirst before thou goe
To that Infernall hot-house? such a ground
Of reason's deeper than I list to sound.
