Epigr. 30.
Melus was taught to speake, to read, to write.Yet clerkly sooth he can do none of these.
He learned Logicke and Arithmetique.
Yet neither brauls not ciphers worth a peaze.
The musicke schoole did teach him her sweet art.
He dealt with Rhetorique and Astrologie.
Yet nether can he chaunt it for his part,
Ne can he tell a tale, or prophesie,
And yet he rides as scholerlike (tis thought)
As neuer any: yet was neuer taught.
