MOTTO

Here sits the bishop of Canterbury,
Who at the schools disdain'd to tarry,
Far better skill'd at games than preaching.
Although he lives by others teaching
Blind leaders of the blind indeed;
'Tis blind and lame who chariots need,
Six brutes with eyes, this brute doth carry,
I mean the bishop of Canterbury.
My feet being lame, I gave a dollar,
To be drove in state like you a scholar;
For which, myself I do abhor;
Shame caus'd me make another door.
