Social Commentaries
Of the naked Image that was to stand in my Lo: Chamberlaines Gallery
From The Most Elegant and Witty Epigrams (1618), Book 2
Social Commentaries
ACtaeon, guiltlesse vnawares espying
Naked Diana, bathing in her bowre,
Was plagu'd with horns, his dogs did him deuoure.
Wherefore take heede, ye that are curious prying,
With some such forked plague you be not smitten,
And in your foreheads your faults be written.
