Epigram. 49. In Salium.

When Salius takes the pen in hand, he bragges;
Hee'l rowze his wit to raise the prise of rags;

Quia [illeg.].


And writes such verses as stand men in steead,
For Priuy bisnesse rather then to read.
Now pray you when the paper lies be sh---
How are ragges raised by his rowzing wit?
