 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epi. 157. To my much esteemed Mr. Inego Iones, our English Zeuxis, and Vitruuius.
76
For nothing: then, to me, thou art not soe.
Yet deere thou art to me for thy deere Worth;
Which I, by Speaking-picture, would paint forth,
If my small Pen thy Pencill equall could:
Then, take not what I can, but what I would:
If not, take this, (as I began with thee)
Though thou be deere, Thou art not so to mee..
