Social Commentaries

To Faustus

by Sir John Harington 1560–1612

From The Most Elegant and Witty Epigrams (1618), Book 1

Social Commentaries

FAustus findes fault, my Epigrams are short,
Because to reade them, he doth make some sport:
I thanke thee, Faustus, though thou iudgest wrong,
Ere long I'le make thee sweare they be too long.
