Satire 56.
[Verbositus at wordes from Latine caru'd]
Verbositus at wordes from Latine caru'dDus snatch, as if his wittes were hunger-staru'd:
And well hee dus; for faith soe leane 'tis growne,
That from Annotomie 'tis hardly knowne.
It is soe weake, as (truelie) I protest,

Harke Would by-wise? by good wordes ill appli'd,
The Asse to be a foole by's owne tongue's tri'd,
Then if th'art wise, thy tongue hath thee beti'd,
