EPIGRAMS. by John Donne MERCURIUS GALLO-BELGICUS. Like Esop's fellow-slaves, O Mercury, Which could do all things, thy faith is ; and I Like Esop's self, which nothing. I confess I should have had more faith, if thou hadst less. Thy credit lost thy credit. 'Tis sin to do, In this case, as thou wouldst be done unto, To believe all. Change thy name ; thou art like Mercury in stealing, but liest like a Greek. Source: Donne, John. Poems of John Donne. vol II. E. K. Chambers, ed.
