Epigram 49. Of George Buchanon
From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Arts & Sciences
Buchanons oathes at Murries service were;
What he would say audacious George would swear.
Poets would lye I've heard, but never one
That would forswear himself but Buchanon;
Yet he a famous Poet was: what though?
Serpents may lurk in flowers of fairest show.
