 | New Epigrams, and a Satyre |  |
TO THE KIND ACCEPTANCE of his louing Kinsman William Martyn of the middle Temple, Gent.
The Authors Apologie for his Satyre.
If any aske, how I, so young, so raw,Durst fasten on this head-strong Time a Iaw,
How I, (that scarce can speak) should dare to write:
And that a Satyre too, (in times dispite)
I answere; Loue to Vertue (quite defac'd)
And hate to Vice, (that in her roome is plac'd).
Then call me Child, or Foole, or both, I care not,
They both doe tell the truth, when wiser dare not
