2O2Epigrams.813. To Phaulo.As often (Phaulo) as thou dost amisse,Thou hast no more excuse for it,but this,It was against thy will ; Why, be it soAgainst thy will thou shalt be punish'd to.814. Little, nothing, too much, enough.The Poor have little, Beggars none,The Rich too much, enough not one.815. On Spur co of Oxford.Spurco from Chandler, started Alderman,And trust me now most Elder-like he canBehave himself :he ne'r appears in town,But in his beaver, and his great fur'd gown ;His Ruffe is set, his head set in his Ruffe ;His reverend trunks become him well enough ;He wears a hoop ring on his Thumb he has;Of Gravidud a dose full in his face :And trick'd and trim'd, thus bravely he supposesHimself another man ;but men have noses ;And they that have so, maugre Spurco 's skill,Through all his robes may smell the chandler still.8 1 6. On the same.Spurco made candles once, 'tis true enough,Yet when I told him so, he tookt in snuffe.
