Epigram 29: I That haue rowed from Tyber vnto
From The Sculler (1612)
Religion
I That haue rowed from Tyber vnto Thames,
Not with a Sculler, but with Scull and Braines:
If none will pay my fare, the more their shames,
I am not first vnpaid that hath tane paines.
Yet Ile be bold if payment be delayd,
To say and sweare your Sculler is not payd.
