First Line: If thou dislik'st the piece thou light'st on first
Last Line: The extreme scab take thee and thine, for me.
Variant Title(s): To The Soure Reader
Subject(s): Books; Reading


If thou dislik'st the piece thou light'st on first,
Think that of all that I have writ the worst;
But if thou read'st my book to the end,
And still dost this and that verse reprehend,
O perverse man! If all disgustful be,
The extreme scab take thee and thine, for me.
