35. To a Gentleman, who was extreamly offended at the defamatory speeches of a base detractor.
At his reproachfull words doe not conceiveThe meanest grudge; for curs will still be barking
55
Is like a scabbed sheepe, not worth the marking;
And this your setting him at nought will make him
Swell, as a Toad, till his owne poyson breake him.
