Epigram 19 (Seuerus reads my booke, and hauing read,)
From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 3
Social Commentaries
Seuerus reads my booke, and hauing read,
Forthwith pronounceth me an idle head.
And idle he had binn as well as we,
But that he matter found to carpe at me:
Then all goes not amisse as I mistooke;
I see there is some matter in my book.
