Social Commentaries
To the L. Ro
From The Most Elegant and Witty Epigrams (1618), Book 2
Social Commentaries
TO praise my wife, your daughter (so I gather)
Your men say, she resembleth most her father.
And I no lesse, to praise your sonne, her brother,
Affirme that he is too much like his mother.
I know not if we iudge a ight, or erre:
But let him be like you, so I like her.
