io6Epigrams.361. On his Mistris.My love and I for kisses play'd,She would keep stakes, I was content,And when I won she would be paid ;This made me ask her what she meant,Saith she, since you are in this wrangling vain,Take you your kisses, and give me mine again.362. On a proud Maid.She that will eat her breakfast in her bed,And spend the morn in dressing of her head,And sit at dinner like a Maiden-bride,And talk of nothing all day but of pride ;God in his mercy may do much to save her,But what a case is he in 'that shall have her ?363. Tempus edax rerum.Time eateth all things, could the Poets say,The times are chang'd, our times drink all away.364. Fades ignota.Why should not Rubin rich apparell wear,That's left more money then an Asse can bear ?Can any guesse him by his outward guise,But that he may be generous and wise ?365. On a coy Woman.She seems not won, yet won she is at length;In loves war, women use but halfe their strength.
