 | The most elegant and witty epigrams of Sir Iohn Harrington |  |
30 Of the cause of dearth.
I heare our Country neighbors oft complaine,Their fruits are still destroyd with too much rain
Some gesse by skill of Starres, and Science vaine,
Some watry Planet in the heauens doth raigne:
No, Sinne doth raigne on earth, the case is plaine;
Which if we would repent, and then refraine,
The skyes would quickly keepe their course againe.
Now that with lewdnesse we be luld asleepe,
The heauens, to see our wickednesse, doe weepe.
