XVI. To Leigh the Linguist.

I oft have heard thee spend much of thy lunges
Praising the copious French, Greek, Latine, Tongues.
English thou saist is poor, and much doth want
Emphatick Phrases, words significant
T'expresse the Ideas that the mind affords,
Tis easly helpt; Marry, you I want no words.
