To Leda
From The Most Elegant and Witty Epigrams (1618), Book 3
Social Commentaries
IN Verse, for want of Rime, I know not how,
I cald our Bathes the pilgrimage of Saints,
You Leda much the praise do disallow,
And thinke this touch your pure Religion taints.
Good Leda, be not angry, for God knowes,
Though I did write of Saints, I meant of shrowes.
