In every kinde, be th' Writing what it will,
'Tis that most takes, and most delights you still;
And does to th' rest, no less Adornment bring
Then does the Stone or Iewel to the Ring.
Poets can't write, nor Orators declame,
But all their wit is chiefly Epigram:
And both in Verse and Prose, and every thing
Your Epigram is writing for a King.
