Epigram. [Hart]

Although these Harts doe never runne away,
They'le tire a Man to hunt them every day:
The Game and Chase is good for Recreation,
But dangerous to make't an occupation

Epigram. [Horse]

Quite contrary to other Horses, these
Feed not on Grass, Hay, Oates, Bread, Beanes, or Pease:
The cost is small, their Provender to buy,
For all the Charges in the Drinke doth lye.

Epigram. [Harrow]

'Tis not a common use (as most men know)
That men should goe to Harrow e're they sow:
Yet here it is in fashion every day
To Harrow first, and Sow when they doe pay.

Epigram. [Horshoe]

Hee were a cunning man that could declare,
Whether this Shoe would best fit Horse or Mare:
Those that will know, they may goe study there,
And catch a Fox, and so be ne're the neere.

Epigram. [Hoope]

Here are not taught, Tricks, Sleights, or active Feats,
No Legerd'maine, or Iuggling sharking Cheats:
Drink moderate when thy Pensive mind doth droop,
Or quickly learne to Tumble in the Hoope.

Epigram. [Horne]

Hee that will whet his wit when it is dull,
Drinke, for these Cornucopeia's still are full:
But if you whet away the Steele, take heed,
It will the Megrim and the Staggers breed.
