 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 14. Against hot-braind-cold-witted Battus.
Battus his Braine is burning to the Pan,And yet his Wit feeles no effect of fire:
Yet is he held a nimble witted Man,
Because his wit doth like a Flame aspire:
Indeede, his wit a Flame we well may call,
Which at the high'st is hut'st; yet passing small.
