Epig. 44. Against Quintus a Dreamer .

I oft haue seene thee, Quintus, in sad plight,
And mourne ith'morne, when thou from sleep didst rise;
Because thy dreames did neuer fall out, right,
And maruell not, for, daily thou tell'st Lyes:
How then can Dreames the Truth to thee declare,
When all the Day to forge-Lyes is thy care?
