Of Don Pedro [DOn Pedro neuer dines without red Deere]
From The Most Elegant and Witty Epigrams (1618), Book 4
Social Commentaries
DOn Pedro neuer dines without red Deere;
If red Deere be his guests, grasse is his cheere.
I, but I meane, he hath it in his dish,
And so haue I oft what I doe not wish.
