Epigram 42: Falling a sleepe, and sleeping in a
From The Sculler (1612)
Social Commentaries
Falling a sleepe, and sleeping in a dreame,
Downe by the Dale that flowes with Milke & Creame,
I saw a Rat vpon an Essex Cheese
Dismounted by a Cambrian clad in Freese.
To bid his Worship eat I had no need,
For like a Serieant he began to feed.
