To Mr. Murray
FOR Orford and for WaldegraveYou give much more than me you gave;Which is not fairly to behave,My Murray!
Because if a live dog, 't is said,Be worth a lion fairly sped,A live lord must be worth two dead,My Murray!
And if, as the opinion goes,Verse hath a better sale than prose,--Certes, I should have more than those,My Murray!
But now this sheet is nearly crammed,So, if you will, I shan't be shammed,And if you won't,--you may be damned,My Murray!
