Epigram. 1.
[VVhilst (Pedler-like) I heere vnpacke my pen]
VVhilst (Pedler-like) I heere vnpacke my pen,
And lay you forth the fairest of my wit,
Still more and more conceits come flocking in,
And in my braines do Hurly-burly it.
To Grace them all, I would ingrosse them all:
But when I would this indigested heape
Reduce (more seemely) into seuerall;
In steed of one; in, All together step.
That when I would tell Sylla's tyranny,
Or Nero's cruelty, and Cæsars stabbing,
Straight interrupts mee Druso's letchery,
Lucullus drudging, or Lucilla's drabbing.
Yet being willing (though not being able)
I broach my best inuention to dispose them;
But proues my worke still like the Tower of Babell,
And thus confusedly I leaue, and loose them;
Then English Hodge-podge; Irish-boniclabor,
Go on, go on, my Gally-manfree labour.
