EMBLEME 20.

Thus playes the Courtly Sycophant, and thus
Selfe-pleasing Sinne, which poysons all of vs:
Thus playd the whore whome the wise King describes:
Thus he who rayles at, and yet pockets bribes:
Thus playes the Polititian, who will smile,
Yet like this Serpent sting your heart the while.
Bung vp thyne eares then, or suspect the harme,
When sweete Cyllenian words begin to charme.
But you, can these vnmask by knowing best
How to keepe such from lurking neere your breast.
