Epigram.
Reading edition
Pra’y by your leave, make moūsieur humors roome That oft hath walk’d about Duke Humphries tombe And sat amongst the Knights to see a play, And gone in’s suite of Sattin ev’ry day, And had his hat display a bushie plume, And’s verie beard deliver forth perfume. But when was this? aske Frier Bacons head That answered Time is past, O time is fled! Sattin and silke was pawned long agoe, And now in canvase, no knight can him knowe. His former state, in dark oblivion sleepes, Onely Paules Gallarie, that walke he keepes.
