189
To my right noble Pupill, and ioy of my heart, Aulgernoun, Lord Percy.
Th' Italian hand I teach you; but their TricksI cannot teach; for, they are Politicks.
Yet if their Politicks you do not learne
Do not so much as once but touch the sterne
Of any state, though you be putt to it:
For them it wracks that want No Want of Witt.
