Epigram 1 (Some mirth doth please, to some it is ...)
From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 6
Social Commentaries
Some mirth doth please, to some it is offence.
Some will haue vices toucht, some none of that,
Some will haue sleight cōceipt, some deeper sense,
Some wil haue this, and some they know not what,
And he which must please all and himselfe to,
Reader, I thinke something he hath to doe.
