Laquei ridiculosi: Or Springes for Woodcocks | ||
To the vulgar Censurers.
If my ill-tuned Rimes content the wise,Whose deeper iudgements I desire to please,
Let not the ruder sort be so precise,
That (Critticke seeming) cannot censure these.
I write not to the rusticke Rabblement,
Nor fawne vpon the curious kinde of men,
But hold it more then bootlesse labour spent
To begge their poore applause; nor care I then
If such repine, whose enuy cannot hurt,
Though like a raging Sea they foame their durt.
