,The122 Epigrams.Came to his friend to clear his bad suspition,And fearing least he should be more then chidden,Fell to flatt'ringand most base submission,Vowing to kisse his foot if he were bidden.My foot said he ? nay that were too submisse ;You three foot higher, well deserve to kisse.443. Non lubens loquitur.Gluto at meals is never heard to talk,For which the more his chaps and chin do walk,When every one that sits about the bord,Makes sport to ask, what Gluto, ne'r a word?He forc'd to answer being very loath,Is almost choak'd, speaking and eating both.444. On Philos.If Philos, none but those are dead, doe praise,I would I might displease him all his dayes.445. The promise-breaker.Ventus doth promise much, but still doth break,So all his promises are great and weak :Like bubbles in the water (round and light)Swelling so great, that they are broke out-right.446. Change.What now we like, anon we disapprove ;new successor drives away old love.
