Epig. 44. To Mr Blable the Tale-teller.

Dame Nature gaue thee two eares, and two eies,
(My wheel-tongu'd Gemy) which doth seldōe stay
And but one mouth (through her foreknowledge wise)
That thou should'st more both heare, & see, then bray.
But thou do'st blab against Minerva's Law
More then thy Eares did heare, or Eies e're saw.
