A

Epigram. [Angell]

Cœlestiall sure these Angels are not yet,
Nor fiends infernall from the hellish Pit:
Though Sinners made them, they are clean from Sin;
Yet are they hang'd, to shew good Wine's within.
16

Epigram. [Anker]

Some men have found these Ankers very able,
To More them safe and fast without a Cable:
A man may Load himselfe, and Sleepe, and Ride,
Free from Storms, Tempests, Pirats, Wind and Tide.

Epigram. [Adam and Eve]

Our Parents first (as I thinke) ne're dranke Wine,
And yet for Wine their Figures are a Signe:
As they forbiden were the Fruit to taste,
So wee forbidden are, good Wine to waste.

Epigram. [Antelop]

The Antelop's a rare Beast, seldom seene,
Nor hath it often in our Kingdome beene:
A forraine Beast, a Signe, shewes forraine Wine,
For you, or mee, or any Friends of mine.
17

Epigram. [Andrewes]

Saint Andrewes Argent Crosse in th'Azure field
Is ancient, and a noble Christian shield:
Ther's French and Spanish, to cheere heart and brain,
From the most Christian Cath'like, France and Spain.

Epigram. [Antwerp]

Antwerp, is English'd, Throw thy hand Away,
Rather then God, or King, to disobey:
At Antwerp Taverne meet shake hands, be merry,
Ther's Clarret, White, Canary, and good Sherry.

Epigram. [Archer]

This Signe doth shew the worthiest exercise
Is Shooting, and it shewes unto our eyes,
When Archers in the field have woon the Vpshot,
They may come to this Archer and be Cupshot.
