Flovvers of Epigrammes | ||
To Philenius. a flatterer.
The Mallarde when she sees the Hauke,in haste she hies awaie:
When horned Harte beholds the Dog,
no lenger doeth he staie.
So frende Philenius, sugred woords
eschue, as enmies darte:
The faunyng flatterer worse then foe,
doeth smite, and make to smarte.
