 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 2. Against Dacus the pott-Poet.
Dacus keepes Company, and they keepe him;And yet he scornes to bee so kept by any:
But each where he in Helicon doth swim,
And for that floud he cannot pay a peny:
For, when the reckning's giu'n, and he would say
Here's Mine: that Floud doth carry Mine away:
2
Reads currant Rimes, but giues none other reason.
