Miscellaneous Epigrams

Some people admire the work of a fool


IV SOME 1 people admire the work of a fool,
For it’s sure to keep your judgement cool;
It does not reproach you with want of wit;
It is not like a lawyer serving a writ.

Note 1. IV A variant and more general form of the epigram on Cromek, no. XV. [back]
