Epigram 40 (Some vnderstand my meaning as it is:)
From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 5
Social Commentaries
Some vnderstand my meaning as it is:
Some vnderstand it worse; againe some better
They doe me right which read, and doe not misse.
But to the other two I am a detter.
The best I will requite the best I may.
The worst shall trust me if I cannont pay.
