Book IV, Epigram 56: In Gargillianum

Cause thou bestow'st vast gifts on aged men,
And widdows struck in years, Gargilian,
Wouldst have me call thee bountiful for this?
Nothing's more base than thou, nought more vile is.
Which mayst thy gifts thine ambuscadoes call,
So the false hooks indulge the fishes fall,
So the sly bayt traps silly beasts and all,
Knowst thou not how to give? how to be free?
I'le teach thee then Gargilian: give to mee.
