Epig. 87. Man, a Hunter, a Fisher, a Fowler .

Man, Hunts for Wealth and Riches store,
Spreads Nets for Dignities;


And like a Fisher, sounds the Depth
Of Deepest Mysteries;
But whiles, fond Man doth fish to know,
With Pride, Preferments watcheth;
And Auaricious, Riches seekes,
He shame and blame oft catcheth.
