Against Feasting [LAst day, I was vnto your house inuited]
From The Most Elegant and Witty Epigrams (1618), Book 2
Social Commentaries
LAst day, I was vnto your house inuited,
And on the ord were forty diuers dishes,
Of Sallets, and of flesh & fowles and fishes,
With which (God knowes) I little am delighted.
Became, I came, I tooke that you did bid me,
But now, I rather thinke, you did forbid me.
