The Scourge of Folly | ||
Epig. 78. Of Cæsars loue to Poets.
The Romaine Publius and Laberius,(Two Poets whome great Cæsar fauored)
Their Skill that Cæsar held most serious,
Though by most Cæsars now disfauoured:
Why should not Poetry please those great Kesars?
It is, becaase those Kesars, are not Cæsars.
