Epigram 63. Of Cambridge and Oxford
From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Social Commentaries
Cambridge one doth commend, Oxford another,
And would have one prefer'd above the other.
When they are best term'd equals: And no other
Such Foreign Place comes near the one or th'other
This my opinion is: who would an other,
May leave to trouble me, and ask another.
