Epig. 77. Quævis terra alit artem.

To Boorish Petita.

The Latine proverbe doth for truth relate,
That ev'ry land doth Arts divine embrace:
Which every where most true I estimate,
But in Petita, 'mongst that Rusticke Race.
Which studies nought, but most the crooked Law;
And will effect no goodnes, but for Aw.
