36. EPIGRAM.
—Crepereius Pollio, qui triplicem Usuram praestare paratus Circuit, & fatuos non invenit—
TWo hundr'd Pound I to a Shop-man owe,Paying of one, the other he'll forgoe,Lay down the Summ, and you the Gain shall have,My present Ease is all that I do crave.Thus Pollio said. To him I did reply,I never had for Gold a greedy Eye.To Merchants go, who for advantage thirst,I hate to trade, and equally to trust.
