English poem
EPIGRAMS, &c, An EPIGRAM
by John Cunningham (1501–1591)
A Member of the modern great Pass'd Sawney with his budget, The Peer was in a car of state, The tinker forc'd to trudge it.
But Sawney shall receive the praise His Lordship would parade for: One's debtor for his dapple greys, And t'other's shoes are paid for.
