Matthew Prior. Poems on Several Occasions | ||
In the same Style.
[Full oft doth Mat. with Topaz dine]
Full oft doth Mat. with Topaz dine,Eateth bak'd Meats, drinketh Greek Wine:
But Topaz his own Werke rehearseth;
And Mat. mote praise what Topaz verseth.
Now sure as Priest did e'er shrive Sinner,
Full hardly earneth Mat. his Dinner.
