Epigram. 80. Aliud de eisdem.

The earth three furies hath, which ouer-match
The Hellish Atè; yea, or all the Fiends
Three headed Hecate did euer hatch,
Yet helds the earth these Furies for her friends:
And suckes the sweet that sowrely doth digest,
And first the Die she vseth for disport,


And holds the Grape-god greatly in request,
Yet brings this this double pleasure, treble hurt.
The third to these, I was about to name,
Lusilla bob'd me, and bade, Peace for shame.
