Epigram 18 (Some will perhaps condemne my foolish veyne,)

Some will perhaps condemne my foolish veyne,
For that of Dogs, Lyons, and Apes I speake.
But if they knewe the cause they would refrayne.
I doe it onely for the Printers sake.
The simple must haue something for their humour,
And hauing somthing they my booke will buy.
Then gayneth he by whome I am no looser.
So is he satisfide, and they and I.
Some will giue sixe pence for a witty touch,
And some to see an Ape will giue as much.
