Social Commentaries
To my friend Mr. William Sherman
From The Sculler (1612)
Social Commentaries
Thou that in idle adulating words,
Canst neuer please the humors of these dayes,
That greatest works with smallest speach affords,
Whose wit the rules of wisdomes lore obayes.
In few words then, I wish that thou maist be,
As well belou'd of all men as of me.
