Social Commentaries
Of finding a Hare
From The Most Elegant and Witty Epigrams (1618), Book 4
Social Commentaries
A Gallant full of life, and voyd of care,
Asked his friend if he would find a Hare?
He that for sleepe more then such sports did care,
Said, Goe your waies, and leaue me here alone;
Let them find Hares that lost them, I lost none.
