EPIG. 6.

[Diogines one day through Athens went]

Diogines one day through Athens went,
With burning Torch in Sun-shine: his intent
Was (as he said) some honest man to finde:
For such were rare to meete, or he was blinde.
One late, might haue done wel like light t'haue got
That sought his wife; met her, and knew her not:
But stay, cry mercy, she had on her maske,
How could his eyes performe their spying taske?
T'is verie true, t'was hard for him to doo,
By Sunne, and Torch; let him take Lant-horne too.
