Epigram 22: Great Captaine Sharke doth wonderfully muse
From The Sculler (1612)
Social Commentaries
Great Captaine Sharke doth wonderfully muse,
How he shall spend the day that next ensues:
Theres no Play to be plaid but he hath seene,
At all the Theaters he oft hath beene:
And seene the rise of Clownes, and fall of Kings,
Which to his humor no contentment brings.
And for he scornes to see a Play past twice:
Heele spend the time with his sweet Cockatrice.
