136 Epigrams.510. On Debt.To be indebted is a shame men say,Then 'tis confessing of a shame to pay.511 A forsworn Maid.Rosa being false and perjur'd, once a friendBid me contented be, and mark her end :But yet I care not, let my friend go fiddle ;Let him mark her end, Tie mark her middle.512. Adversity.Love is maintain'd by wealth, when all is spent,Adversity then breeds the discontent.513. On Soranzo.Soranztfs broad-brim'd hat I oft compareTo the vast compasse of the heavenly sphere :His head, the Earth's globe, fixed under it ;Whose center is, his wondrous little wit.514. To a great Guest.With other Friends I bid you to my Feast,Though coming late, yet are you not the least.515. In Cottam.Cotta when he hath din'd saith,God be praisd,Yet never praiseth God for meat or drink :Sith Cotta speak eth, and not practiseth,He speaketh surely what he doth not think.
