Epigram 12. To the same Knight being President of Eaton Colledge.

VVhy should men wonder so, that Eaton Boyes,
Do by their learning purchase fame: not noise?
Doth not that Male-Minarva Wootten grace
With pollisht Eloquence 'bove all, that Place?
Oh! if each Colledge still had resident,
But halfe so rare a witted President;
'Twere to be hop't (like this) that grac't by them,
Each Colledge might become an Accadem.
Yours in all service Th. Beed.
