 | The most elegant and witty epigrams of Sir Iohn Harrington |  |
70 A witty choice of a Country fellow.
A rich Lord had a poore Lout to his ghest,And hauing sumptuous fare, and costly drest,
Caru'd him a wing of a most dainty Bird;
Affirming seriously vpon his word,
Those birds were sent him from his louing cosen,
And were well worthy twenty markes a dozen.
He that for such great dainties did not care,
Said, I like well your Lordships courser fare:
For I can eat your Beefe, Pig, Goose and Cony,
But of such fare, giue me my share in mony.
