To Dionisius Feb. The holy Scripture.
All thinges the fragrant field doth feed,accordyng vnto kinde:
The birde hath seede: the oxe hath strawe:
the dog his praie doth finde.
Euenso the sacred Bible booke,
for euery kinde and sorte
Hath store of foode and norishment,
that list therto resorte.
Here tender babes haue milke and pap:
here ripe of yeares haue bred:
Here also wanteth not repast
for age with hory head.
Yet hereof small account is made,
the cause may soone be knowne:
Each one doth seeke to feede his eares,
and let his hart alone.
