thumb|Robert Hayman's 1628 book Quodlibets devotes much of its text to epigrams.

AI overview

An epigram is a short, witty piece of writing, often in verse, that expresses a single thought or observation with clever brevity. The form was popular enough in the 17th century that writers like Robert Hayman devoted entire books to collections of them, suggesting epirams were valued as a distinctive literary art.
