Against Sottus his long wronge knowledge.

Epi. 259.

It is vnmeet that Sense abroad should stirre,
And (like a wanton Rigge) at randome run:
But when her soueraigne Reas'n commandeth her
Vpon some vrgent cause; which being done,
T'returne with speed to her, that sent her out,
T'informe her in her doubt's of good or ill:
Then like a sober Hand-maid, keepe about
Her Soueraigne Reas'n, to doe what else she will:
But, Sot, his sense from Reas'n hath rangd so long,
(And dotes on all) that all he knowes is wrong.
