[My Booke is not for learned men nor wise]
My Booke is not for learned men nor wise,Nor mery nor conceipted, nor the plaine:
Nor angry, foolish, criticall or nice.
Nor olde nor young, nor sober, nor the vaine.
Nor for the proud, nor for the couetous,
Nor for the Gentleman, nor the Clowne:
Nor for the glutton, nor adulterous,
Nor for the valiant worthy of renowne.
Nor for the thrifty, nor the prodigall,
But if thou needs will know for whom? for all.
