Of Calpus his making much of a Little.

Epigram. 317.

Calpus , hath little Latin; yet he makes,
Much of that little: for, he vndertakes
To teach his Friends; yet, while to them he reads,
With Art he cheats them; so, in Art proceeds;

And, learnes them little Latine with much Art;
Which ere they learne, thus ierks thē til they smart
So, with his little Latine much he makes;
Which is his Snare to cousin all it takes.
