The Scourge of Folly Consisting of satyricall Epigrams, And others in honour of many noble Persons and worthy friends, together, with a pleasant (though discordant) Descant upon most English Proverbs and others [by John Davies] |
The Scourge of Folly | ||
Epig. 259. Against Classus the witles pratler.
If we some liquor seeke but to transfuseFrom one cup to another, we do seeke
T'apply them so, that we it not diffuse:
So ought our Eares receiue, ere Mouthes do speake:
But Classus Tongue, that but himselfe will heare;
Vshers his Wit but to his idle Eare.
