Epig. IX.

VVhich of the Sages order shall I keepe;
The one of which did laugh, the other weepe
To see my new made, Sir, who yet smels fresh
Of Lenton schooles, euen the first day that flesh
May be alow'd, seise the precostris, and
Out-acting famous Roscius with his hand

Giue pasport to his phrase appli'd vnfit
Coind in the mint of his own mother wit.
But chaffie stalkes of Corne their heads doe beare
High and aloft, whereas the fuller eare
Bowes humbly downe: he workes vpon this ground
Who is not, yet to some may seeme, profound,
And little reading serue, if in this case,
The bookes kinde index bee his common place.
But prethee (Domine) take heed in time,
Accept the counsell of my ruder rime.
'Tis nere too late good actions to begin:
The Asse must lay aside his borrow'd skin.
Backe to Parnassus, reade 'ore wisdomes booke,
And let time giue thy youth a grauer looke:
Else heere thy life and learning both are doomb'd,
With thy yong credit to be cradle-toomb'd:
