Social Commentaries
Of good Sauce
From The Most Elegant and Witty Epigrams (1618), Book 3
Social Commentaries
I Went to suppe with Cinna tother night,
And to say true (for giue the diuell his right)
Though scant of meat we could a morsell get,
Yet there with store of passing sauce we met.
You aske what sauce, where pittance was so small?
This, Is not hunger the best sauce of all?
