Social Commentaries
Of impudent Lynus
From The Most Elegant and Witty Epigrams (1618), Book 3
Social Commentaries
NOt any learning, Lynus, no, God knowes,
But thy brute boldnes made some to suppose,
That thou might'st haue been bred in Brazen-nose.
A murren on thy pate, 'twould doe thee grace,
So were thine head so arm'd in euery place,
A Steele scull, Copper nose, and Brazen face.
