Social Commentaries
On Gripe
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 2
Social Commentaries
Gripe to himself talks of the sums he lent
And of the debts he ows, but to prevent
Others from borrowing more; away you Iew
Dost think I'd ask of such a knave as you?
Besides if I of thee to day should borrow,
I know th' whole town should hear of it to morrow.
