The most elegant and witty epigrams of Sir Iohn Harrington | ||
24 To Mall, to comfort her for the losse of her Children.
When at the window thou thy doues art feeding,Then thinke I shortly my Doue will be breeding,
Like will loue like, and so my liking like thee,
As I to doues in many things can like thee,
Both of you loue your lodgings dry and warme,
Both of you doe your neighbours little harme,
Both loue to feede vpon the firmest graine,
Both for your liuings take but little paine,
Yet both to Venus sports will seeme vnwilling;
Both doe delight to looke your selues in Glasses,
You both loue your own houses as it passes;
Both fruitfull are, but yet the Doue is wiser,
For, though she haue no friend that can aduise her,
She, patiently can take her young ones losse,
Thou, too impatiently doost beare such crosse.
