Occasions Off-spring | ||
Pseudo Poeta in a paper of false verses inveying against Tantalia for her lyeing tales.
Shall I condemne Tantalia, and not you?Her tales were false, your verses are not true.
Be gentle pray, you seem to have forgot
The proverb, whilst the kill upbraids the pot.
Come, yee arë guilty both, of oversight,
Neither your verses, nor her tales are right.
Yea I could show you too as many slips
In your false feet, as in her faltering lips;
But I excuse yee both, for you perchance
As well as shee, did it in ignorance.
Veniam petimus dabimusque.
