Two bookes of epigrammes, and epitaphs | ||
181. Of Traitors.
Like odious Toades are trait'rous Male contents,That from faire day-light hide their foule intents,
And in the Denns of mischiefe dormant sit
Till night; but then their blacker venime spit,
While with their harsh ill-boading sounds they breake
The aire, and peace of Kingdomes, where they speake.
