Epigram 6. To my worthy Friend Mr. Harbert Aston
From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Relationships
When we at Chenie School together were,
I knew you often to abuse a Boy,
Whom, when he did to you for pity cry,
You beat the more; but good Sir! Do you hear!
Is not this true, when he to you did mone
Did he not then lament unto Astn?
