 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
To my beloued kinde friend Mr Robert Dawes.
VVho knowes thee by thy Nature, not thy Name,Doth know thou art mis-namd; but not amisse
It is to call the wise unvvise, in game,
Sith Contraries shevv best by Contraries.
Thy Witt, Will, and thine other Requisitts,
make thee beloud of all good Wills and VVitts.
