Epig. 7. De Epigr. Suis.

My Epigrams were all new ready made,
And onely on the Printers leisure staid;
One of my friends on Sheeps greene I did meet,
Which told me one was printing in Bridge street:
And would (if so it pleasde mee to come thither)
Print with a warrant both gainst wind & wether.
I thanked him: my Booke to Presse now goes:
But I am gulld, he printeth onely hose.
