Of Lawyers.
Epig. 15.
Some, Lawyers praise: & some their sect defame:The first I cann't: the last I will not blame.
Nor yet esteeme Those lesse Praise-worthy, when
All loue not Vertue: No not most of men.
But rather him a Temporizer call.
When Two contend for, what but One must haue,
Who can doe Right and eithers fauours saue?
When one mans Losse anothers Game doth make,
And Loosers must, and will haue leaue to speake.
Then (Gertle Lawyers,) thinke it more then well,
If the halfe part of men your Praises tell.
