On Parthenopæus.
Thy Doctor, that he may asswage the PainOf thy sore Throat, which a sharp Cough doth strain,
Prescribes thee Hony, sweet-meats, luscious Pies,
Or what e'r else stills fretfull Childrens cries:
Yet leav'st thou not thy coughing: now we see
'Tis no sore Throat, but sweet Tooth troubles thee.
