From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 1

Social Commentaries

You talk of Silarus that turns wood to stone;
Of a Fount flows with wax, and then of one
That streams with pitch; and of the Andrian spring
That store of wine and oyl doth daily bring;
All this I'l first beleive, then travaile I,
To see how wide you and your fountains lie.
