Ad Philomusum, 75. Epig.

Cause great ones carry thee themselves to please
To Feasts, to Galleries, and Spectacles,
And Coach thee up and down, and bathe with thee
As oft as thou jump'st in their company:
Nere hug thy self for this, or look proud for't,
Th'art not beloved, but onely makest them sport.
