The Riddles of Heraclitus and Democritus | ||
53
[If Lords of the land esteeme me not a flie]
If Lords of the land esteeme me not a flie,If daintie nosed doctors, crie fie on me fie,
If Ladies at Court, none account on me make,
If citizens wiues, doe me all forsake,
Then Ioane in the countrie, for a friend I will take:
What though from my youth, I haue had a white head,
My taile will be greene, vntill I be dead.
