EMBLEME XV.
He that infinenesse would excell,
Oft marres the worke before was well.
The Painter that with curious hand and eye,
Oft marres the worke before was well.
Is ouer-mending euery little line,
With to much cunning bringeth all awrye,
And marres the worke that was before more fine.
So some there be thinking to soare so high,
With piercing insearch of things most diuine,
That fall so far from knowing that they sought,
They do not know thēselues so as they ought.
