Epigram 16 (Some say that some which Colledges did found,)
From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 1
Social Commentaries
Some say that some which Colledges did found,
Were wicked men; I grant it may be so:
But what are they which seeke to pull them downe?
Are not these wicked builders, let me know?
How do times differ? how are things discust?
For see their wicked, do excell our iust.
