Social Commentaries
To Jealous
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 2
Social Commentaries
Jealous if any laughs is angry straight,
Suspects they jeer at him; oh foolish Wight!
Because another smiling wries his nose
Wilt thou betray thy selfe, and so expose
Thee to more laughter? though you guilty bee,
Yet I dare say there's no man thought of thee.
