30. Of Poverty.
A poor man's like an Almanack that's gone,
Quite out of date, cast by, nor look'd upon;
Or like as Aesops poor old Lion was
Of all beasts scorn'd, as much as of the Ass.
Donne's satyr containing 1. a short map of mundane vanity, 2. a cabinet of merry conceits, 3. certain pleasant propositions and questions with their merry solutions and answers : being very useful, pleasant and delightful to all, and offensive to none / by Jo. Donne.
