The poems and translations of Sir Edward Sherburne (1616-1702) | ||
On Candidus, a rich Miser.
Alone thou dost enjoy a fair Estate,Alone rare Myrrhine Vessels, golded Plate;
Alone rich Wines dost drink; and hast for None
A Heart, nor Wit but for thy self alone.
None shares with thee, it is deny'd by no man:
But Candidus, thou hast a Wife that's Common.
