Epigram 28: Mercy
From The Nipping and Snipping of Abuses (1614)
Religion
My Mercie hates me, what's the cause I pray,
Tis cause I haue no money, shee doth say.
O cruell Mercy now I plainely see
Without a see no mercy comes from thee.
Yet in conclusion, euery idle gull
Perceiues Mercy is vnmercifull.
