Epig. 6. To Mr. E. C. on his Spolario.

As unsound men, who do with Feavers burn,
Do the best meates to their diseases turn:
So of all subjects, what was worst you chose,
Like a course searser, still the finest lose.
So the best viper wines, if you stir their lee,
And hony badly still'd will poyson be.
