Epigram 56. To my very good Friend M. Thomas Lightwood
From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Relationships
Sir, that I do expose these trifles to
The world, which we (in jest) writ long ago,
Pray pardon me: for (I am sure) I do
A greater wrong unto my selfe then you.
After so many troubles, they remain
Once more to make us laugh at them again.
