Epigram 22: All's one, but on's not all
From The Nipping and Snipping of Abuses (1614)
Social Commentaries
To wonder and admire is all one thing,
If as Sinonymies the words be tooke,
But if a double meaning from them spring:
For double sence your Iudgement then must looke.
As once a man all soild with durt and mire
Fell downe, and wonder'd not, but did admire.
