Epigrams. 127467. Sapiat qui dives, oportet.Tis known how well I live, sayes Romeo,And whom I list, I'le love, or will despise :Indeed it's reason goodit should be so :For they that wealthy are, must needs be wise :But this were ill if so it come to passe,That for your wealth you must be beg'd an asse.F o468. In Dossum.Dosse riding forth, the wind was very big,And strained court'sie with his Perriwig,Leaving his sconce behind so voyd of haire,As Esops Crow might break her Oyster there ;Fool he to think his hair could tarry fast,When Boreas tears up forrests with a blast.469. Post dulcia finis amarus.Jenkin a Welshman, that had suits in Law,Journying to London, chanc'd to steal a Cow ;For which (pox on her luck as ne'r mon saw)Was burnt within the fist and know not how :Being ask'd if well the Laws with him did stand,Hur have hur now (quoth Jenkiri) in hur hand.zr-
