Epigram.
18th Century Matthew Prior EnglishEPIGRAM.
Frank Carves very ill, yet will palm all the Meats: He Eats more than Six; and Drinks more than he Eats. Four Pipes after Dinner he constantly smokes; And seasons his Whifs with impertinent Jokes. Yet sighing, he says, We must certainly break; And my cruel Unkindness compells him to speak: For of late I invite Him — but Four Times a Week.
