Infancy
The wit of Children that begins too soon
Before th' outgrow their Infancy, is gone.
Before th' outgrow their Infancy, is gone.
For words are Fitter for a Child to learn
Then Matters of a weightier Concern.
Then Matters of a weightier Concern.

The only Cloaths, that Embryos weare in th' womb
But leave them off, when in the world they come,
And Put on others which the Midwife trims
To fit the Fashion of their Tender Limbs.
But leave them off, when in the world they come,
And Put on others which the Midwife trims
To fit the Fashion of their Tender Limbs.
