TO HIS BOOKE by MARCUS VALERIUS MARTIALIS

First Line: TO READ MY BOOKE THE VIRGIN SHIE
Last Line: AND NEVER STAINE A CHEEKE FOR IT.
Subject(s): BOOKS; READING;
To read my Booke the Virgin shie
May blush, (while Brutus standeth by:)
But when He's gone, read through what's writ,
And never staine a cheeke for it.
