Social Commentaries
To his worthy friend T. S. Esquire
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 2
Social Commentaries
If to be mild be Generositie;
To scorn to give or take an injurie;
If to be patient, and yet valiant too
Be truly noble, then (Sir!) you are so:
Virtu's the best Nobilitie is known,
You're virtuous noble too, in this alone.
