Social Commentaries
To the Reader
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 1
Social Commentaries
Reader! I am no Epigramatist,
No carping Momus, or fel Satyrist:
I touch no man, but in the generall,
And modest look, like equal day, on all;
I personate none; if you then guilty bee
'Tis your own fault t'apply it; I am free.
