Epig. X. In dentes.
The teeth, those two euen rankes of pearle do seemeTo be the place, which Iustice doth esteeme,
Who querne-like grinding not for their owne food,
So much as for the bodies common good,
Doe daily worke and though they daily weare,
Yet in the publike cause doe not forbeare,
True iustice heere on earth most Honour gaines,
When most for common good it suffers paines.
