 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 44. Of Clophus his helpes in arguing.
Clophus hath tvvo great Helpes in Reasoning,Although his Reasons neuer helpe his Sence:
Yet he in disputation still is King
Through brutish Ignorance and Impudence:
Put by your Helpes, and with you Ile despute,
If not, I yeelde more reason being mute.
