Flovvers of Epigrammes | ||
To a wife, whiche set a pot full of flowers in her windowe.
To make a fragrant sauour sweet,in windowe thou dost set
Freshe flowers, and for to make them grow,
thou stinkyng mier dost get:
Wife, cast the mier away, or herbs,
or both I thee desire:
The flowers they doe not smell so well,
as ill doth stinke the mire.
