Epigram. [Fountaine]

These Fountaines are not Proud, like many a knave,
That brags of goodnesse, yet no Goodnes have:
The Fountaines promise Water, yet affoord
Good Wine, and so are better then their Word.

Epigram. [Fleece]

In peace a Man may peecemeale venture Pieces,
Spend Time and Coine, yet neuer win those Fleeces:
But those that doe attempt with Moderation,
Shall find the Hazzard but a Recreation.

Epigram. [Faulcon]

These Faulcons to the Lure did never stoope,
Nor do they Mue, Mute, cast their Gorge, or Droope:
Nor ever Mounted to the Sky (past Ken)
Yet all their Game is still to pleasure Men.

Epigram. [Fortune]

These Fortunes, are themselues nor good, or Ill,
Nor (like Dame Fortune) are they Changing still:
Yet do they make some Glad, some Sad, some Mad,
And are as they are used, Good or Bad.

Epigram. [Flower De Lices]

French Flowers doth shew thers good French Wine to sell
Which he that tries will find, and like it well:
But if perchance your Pallat doe disgust it,
Thers high and mighty Sacke, if you dare trust it.

Epigram. [Field-Gate]

All is not Gold that glisters here I say:
This Gold Gate hath no Latch, Bolt, Locke or Kay:
30

Yet at all lawfull houres (for lawfull Gaine)
Tis open, honest Guests to entertaine.
