Epigram 16: Deere, no Venison
From The Nipping and Snipping of Abuses (1614)
Social Commentaries
Precilla alwaies cals her husband Deere,
Belike she bought him at too deere a rate,
Or else to make the case more plaine appeere,
Like to a Deere she hath adorn'd his pate;
If it be so god Vulcan send her luck
That she may liue to make her Deere a Buck.
