Epigram 5 (Seuerus hath no touch of eloquence.)
From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 5
Social Commentaries
Seuerus hath no touch of eloquence.
He can not double with a srayne of witt.
A ridled sentence floates aboue his sense.
Figures are misteries and farre vnfitt.
Well mett Seuerus, for to tell ye true.
This is a booke of vulgars made for you.
