To one that after ten years studie, brought forth a lamentable work.

Ten years you say 'tis, since you 'gan to write:
So long in bringing forth so little wit?
So after ten years siege the Græcians won
But a dry ravisht Helen, and burnt town:
So Elephants bring forth, having ten years gone,
A fœtuous monster, such as you have done.
