Social Commentaries
To Aston Cokaine, Esquire
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
He that with Learning, Vertue doth combine,
May (though a Laick) passe for a divine
Piece of perfection. Such to all mens sight
Appeares your selfe: who, if you take delight
In these composures, your applausive show
Will stampe conceits, and make them currant goe.
