Epig. 36. Authorities for Marcus his hate-full loue.
Phauorinus vs'd to praise the Quartaine-Feauer:Ouid, beyond the Moone, would Nutts commend:
Virgill, a Gnatt: and Homer, honor'd euer
The fight of Frogge, which do the most offend:
If these pure Wits most praise what most abhorre,
What maruell ist though Marcus praise his whore.
