Your present talke, with, Sir, I'll tell a iest,-
Of some sweet ladie, or grand lord at least.
Then on he goes, and neer his tongue shall lie,
Till his ingrossed iests are all drawne dry:
But then as dumbe as Maurus, when at play,
Hath lost his crownes, and paun'd his trim array.

Epigram.
Once by mishap two poets fell a squaring,
The Sonnet and our Epigram comparing.
And Faustus hauing long demur'd vpon it
Yet at the last gaue sentence for the Sonnet.
Now, for such censvre, this his chiefe defence is,
Their sugred tast best likes his likrous senses.
Well, though I grant sugar may please the tast,
Yet let my verse haue salt to make it last*.
In the RETURN FROM PARNASSUS, acted 1616*, perhaps written
some time before, Sir Roderick says, "I hope at length England will
be wise enough: then an old knight may haue his wench in a corner,
without any SATIRES or EPIGRAMSY." In Decker's VNTRUSSing of
THE HUMOROUS POET, Horace, that is Jonson, exclaims in a passion,
"Sirrah! I'll compose an EPIGRAM vpon him shall go thus ....
