Thalia's Banquet | ||
Ad Syluam Ducis.
Epigram 109.
Dicere. Sylua Ducis cur falso nomine, syluæCum careas, sterilis stagnet et omnis ager?
Fallor, an in diuos arbor mutatur adstos,
In Monachum stipes quem stipe vulgus alit.
Which is in English,
Why falselie art thou call'd the Dukes-wood, when
Thou hast no woods, and all thy foildes are fenne?
Thy Trees (I ghesse) are turn'd to fainted stocks,
And begging Friers haue robb'd thee of thy blocks.
