206. To Plots, a pretender to the Mathematicks.

Thou sai'st, thou by thy figur'd Art dost know
How much broad cloath about the earth will go.
But would thy Charity a garment make
For it, in honor might'st thou equall Drake,
When Fame should say of two such men of note,
Drake made the earth a girdle, Plots a coate.
