 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 216. Of the Schollers of Oxford and Cambridge.
Oxford and Cambridge, Cambridge and OxfordWould both of you I might please with a word,
You, in your wombes, good and bad Clarkes do nourish,
And (like kinde Mothers) tenderly do cherrish.
105
Yet other some ye nurse, your selues to shame,
So fatally it fares with famous Schooles,
They send foorth famous men, some wise, some fooles.
