On Braggadochio Cit
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 1
Social Commentaries
Cit now he's rich doth boast his Pedigree
How he's allied to this great familie
And to'ther, whom as customers he knew;
Thus both his kinred and acquaintance grew.
Peace Cit! or I'l proclaim thy stock; I know
That no more arms (poor thou) then legs can'st show.
