Epigr. 40. ad Lectorem.
If my bookes easie of digestion be,Thanke not my matter reader but thanke me,
How many verses haue I cancelled?
180
I suffer Epigrams to sprowte forth, when
I vse mine arte, and prune them with my pen.
For he that will write Epigrams indeed,
Must vse to wring the meaning till it bleede.
