Epigram 4 (Ye famous sister Vniuersities,)
From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 4
Social Commentaries
Ye famous sister Vniuersities,
Oxford and Cambridge, whence proceeds your hate?
Brothers rare concord do ye imitate,
Each greeting each with mutuall iniuries?
Brothers fall out and quarrell I confesse.
But sisters loue; for it becomes you lesse.
