Epigram 97. To Parson Nameless

by Sir Aston Cokain 1608–1684

From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)

Relationships

When you do preach of Mountain Ararat,
And how Noahs floating Ark first staid thereat;
Though your loud voice doth fill the sacred house,
Your Sermon bigge with mountains drops a Mouse.
