[Ten thousand (such as we) can ne're devise]

Ten thousand (such as we) can ne're devise
A booke so good, as that which we despise,
(The Common Prayer they meane) if we should sit,
Ten thousand yeares, with all our braines and wit,
We should prove Coxcombs all, and in the end,
Leave it as 'tis, too good for us to mend.
