The Furies | ||
Epig. XX.
A poore neglected Scholler, whose chiefe goodWas all he bore about him, vnderstood
A friend of his, to be in such a place,
To whom he went, who gaue him kind imbrace.
And spake his worth, intreating all his friends
To doe the like, to which all condiscends,
Except one cald All out sides, who wil passe
The streets with none, but some silke-grogren Asse,
And he in anger, after many oathes,
(For he could sweare) bad him get better cloathes
Then come to them againe, adding this scoffe,
The schollers stuffe is like, stand farther off,
Thus ignorant All out sides thinkes of arts,
The Taylor now giues man his better parts.
