 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
To my beloued Mr. Iohn Hoskins.
Iohn of all Iohns, if I should Stile thee soThou might'st except against it; sith it points
But at some Sott. Then, art thou such a one? No:
Thy witt (good Iohn's) too nimble in the Ioynts
To stand for such: but, for witt, thou maist bee
Iohn of all Iohns; at least, so held of mee.
