Social Commentaries
To a corrupt Judge
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 2
Social Commentaries
Why thou so dear dost law and Justice sel,
Dost hear and take on either side so wel,
I wonder not: the Court Seianus made
Thee buy thy place so dear as some have said;
Great reason then that who so dear doth buy,
Should th' price enhance when he doth sel, as high.
