Epig. 21. Against Formias brauery and vncessant prating.
Keep'st thou a Parrat, and a Parrakyt?Why so good Formia, tell me Formia why?
Is't for thou dost in prating so delight?
Or for they be so gaudy to the eye?
Thou art more gaudy, and prat'st more by farre;
Then spare thy Birds, or Gauds, and prating spare.
