EPIGRAM. 9.
Nec retinent patulae, &c. In Garruhtatem.
NAy, to keepe counsell, this our Age excels,
To Lagus one a thing in secret told,
This to his friend in secret Lagus tels,
The which his friend to tell, his friend is bold,
In secret too; that friend vnto another,
Who makes a Mid-wife of the next he meetes
To tell his secret to; each makes a brother
Lightly on whomsoeuer next he hits.
Thus all abroad this secresie is blowne,
And yet in secret told to euery one.
