Epigram 36 (Nisus writes Epigrams and so doe I,)
From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 1
Social Commentaries
Nisus writes Epigrams and so doe I,
Matter he hath enough, but I haue lesse,
Yet but in one poynt all the ods doth lie,
He may speake of lewde loues and wantonnesse.
Is not this ods? am not I in a streight,
His matter pleaseth more, then my conceipt.
