 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 263. Against wordy Classus.
If Bladders blowne, with Gold well stuffe we will,VVe must expell the VVinde that makes them swell:
So, if with VVisedome, we the minde will fill
VVee selfe-conceit from thence must quite expell:
But selfe-conceit so puffes vp Classus Minde,
That he were Vacuum wer't not for that winde.
