To Clois
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 1
Social Commentaries
I Know you rich; you are an heir,
You'r courteous, liberal, and fair,
You'r wise too, as most women are,
Jolly, and friendly, debonair:
I like this freedom; but they say
You are to free another way.
Clois farewel! your gold's too light;
And so I may too dearly buy't.
