Epigram 9: Young Sr. Iohn Puck foyst, and his
From The Sculler (1612)
Social Commentaries
Young Sr. Iohn Puck foyst, and his new made madam,
Forgetts they were the off-spring of old Adam:
I'm sure tis not for wit, nor man-like fight,
His worthles worship late was dubd a knight.
Some are made great for wealth, and some for wit,
And some for vallour doe attaine to it:
And some for neither vallour, witt nor wealth,
But stolne opinion, purchase it by stealth.
