An Epigram.
Dull: sayes he is so weake he can not rise,
Nor stand, nor goe: if that be true, he lyes.
True-lie: well sed, for so the case now standes,
He keepes his bed, yet lies i'the Surgions hands.
Nor stand, nor goe: if that be true, he lyes.
True-lie: well sed, for so the case now standes,
He keepes his bed, yet lies i'the Surgions hands.
Clunch: When he goes to measure Cloth,
To'es neighbours makes his mone:
To borrow a Yard, for why in troth,
He hath no Yard on's owne.
To'es neighbours makes his mone:
