 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 6. Against Prusus the prating-sterile-bald Statist.
Th' intelligencer Prusus loues to prate,Of nothing but great Matters of estate:
He can Anatomize France, Flanders, Spaine;
And where their life-blood lies, well knowes the Vaine.
In State-craft he was still his betters brauing,
Till Kate with her craft, gaue him a dry-shauing:
Yet talkes he but of Heads, and Heires apparant:
Though his owne Head has not one Haire apparant.
