On an Inveighing Poetaster
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 1
Social Commentaries
See where a snarling Scribler doth inveigh
In toothless jeasts against my Poesie!
The toothach sure torments his head and wit;
Which makes him show his teeth that cannot bite.
Bees when they wound, disarm themselvs: this Ca
So breaks his teeth when he doth biting snarle.
