 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 102. Against pure Glaucus his impurity.
Glaucus his Braine growes ouer-great with yong,Viprous Conceits therein a breeding bee;
His Pia-mater cannot brooke their Thronge,
Which through It gnavve a vvay, and out they flee
49
Their spoyle that thwart them, or them entertaine:
Yet, is he held a man of rare Conceit:
Rare; for, it is most impious, vile, and vaine:
Yet is he pure: and lookes diuinely graue;
So, hee's a graue, egregious, most pure Knaue.
