Epigram. 96. Of Tho. Nash.

Nash had Lycambes on earth liuing beene
The time thou wast, his death had bin al one,
Had he but mou'd thy tartest Muse to spleene,
Vnto the forke he had as surely gone:
For why there liued not that man I thinke,
Vsde better, or more bitter gall in Inke.
Ore Lycambinae, rabioso occiderit ambas
Archilochus, Quia patrem & filiam furce.
Auson: Carminibus adegit.
