Epig. 52. Against Caluisius his forgetfulnesse.

Caluisius all forgets, him selfe vvithall;
He can remember nothing done or said:
And sure his memory vvas very small,
When, for his Wife, he got vvith childe his Maide:
But, if by law, thou needes must answere this,
Say thou forgotst thy selfe: and true it is.
