 | Wits Bedlam, Where is had, Whipping-cheer, to cure the Mad |  |
Poets gaine is Fame and Famine.
Epigram. 274.
The Poets proper Ensigne is the SwanSole Bird of Phœbus: so it well may be;
For, she doth sing before her death: so, Man
(Turn'd Gull) call'd Poet, makes that melody:
Because he sings before his death and Fame,
So, perisheth, through want, to get a Name!
