Epigram 18. I meane somewhat.
One ask'd mee what my Melancholy meanes?I answer'd, 'Twas because I wanted meanes.
He ask'd what I did by my answer meane?
I told him still, my meanes were too too meane.
He offer'd me to lend me pounds a score.
I answer'd him, I was too much in score.
He finding me in this crosse answ'ring veine,
Left me in want to wish for wealth in vaine.
