Social Commentaries
Against a foolish Satyrist
From The Most Elegant and Witty Epigrams (1618), Book 1
Social Commentaries
I Read that Satyre thou intitlest first,
And layd aside the rest, and ouer-past,
And sware, I thought, that th'author was accurst,
That that first Satyre had not been his last.
