Epigram 24: A supposed Construction
From The Nipping and Snipping of Abuses (1614)
Social Commentaries
Mary and Mare, Anagramatiz'd
The one is Armye, and the other Arme
In both their names is danger Moraliz'd
And both alike, doth sometimes good, or harme
Mare's the sea and Mare's Arme's a riuer
And Marye's Armye's all for whatl'ye giue her.
