Epig. 150. Against Cinnus the time-reprouer.

Cinnus is seene in all the librall Artes,
Yet seeth not the Arte himselfe to rule:
He blames the Times, and saith that men of partes
The Time should more regard; so, Time doth schoole:
He scooleth Time, yet Time may teach him this,
That his best Partes, and Artes are quite amisse.
