To Mutus
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 2
Social Commentaries
Mutus where e'r he comes in companie
Sits stil, observes, speaks not a word to any:
Are you a spie or State-informer grown?
Set to pick treason, when we are high flown,
From out our harmless mirth? forgive me pray!
I'ave wrong'd you Mutus, you can nothing say.
