Vpon his bookes name, called his Crudities.
Tom
Coriat, I haue seene thy Crudities,
And, me-thinkes, very strangely brude it is,
With piece and patch together glude—it is,
And how (like thee) ill-fauour'd hu'de—it is,
In many a line I see that lewd—it is,
And therefore fit to be subdew'd—it is.
And, me-thinkes, very strangely brude it is,
With piece and patch together glude—it is,
And how (like thee) ill-fauour'd hu'de—it is,
In many a line I see that lewd—it is,
And therefore fit to be subdew'd—it is.
Within thy broyling braine-pan stude—it is,
And twixt thy grinding iawes well chewd—it is,
Within thy stomacke closely mude—it is;
And last, in Court and Country spude—it is:
But now by wisedomes eye that view'd it is,
They all agree that very rude—it is.
With foolery so full endude—it is,
That wondrously by fooles pursude—it is,
As sweet as galls amaritude—it is,
And seeming full of Pulchritude—it is:
But more to write, but to intrude—it is,
And therefore wisedome to conclude—it is,
And twixt thy grinding iawes well chewd—it is,
Within thy stomacke closely mude—it is;
And last, in Court and Country spude—it is:
But now by wisedomes eye that view'd it is,
They all agree that very rude—it is.
With foolery so full endude—it is,
That wondrously by fooles pursude—it is,
As sweet as galls amaritude—it is,
And seeming full of Pulchritude—it is:
But more to write, but to intrude—it is,
And therefore wisedome to conclude—it is,
