The most elegant and witty epigrams of Sir Iohn Harrington | ||
77 Of a censurer of English writers.
That Englishmen haue small, or no inuention,Old Guillam saith, and all our workes are barren
But for the stuffe, we get from Authors forren.
Why, Guillam, that same gold thou tak'st in pension,
Which mak's thee loue our Realm more thē your own
And follow still our English Court, and campe.
Now that it hath our dearest Soueraignes stampe,
Is English coine, though once 'twere Indian growne.
You that accept so well of English pay.
