Two bookes of epigrammes, and epitaphs | ||
59. To Sir Gilbert Knyveton.
Anagramme. Turne to be Kingly.
He that can rule his little Ile of Man,(Girt with a waving Maine of misery,
And his affects to lawes of Reason can
Rightly submit, may claime a Monarchy;
And by such Empire may more honour gaine
Than he that serves his Gold, yet Masters Spaine.
