Againe, of the same.

Were Bacon, and that Vandermast aliue,
(if liue they did where Men might draw but Aire)
They, with a mischiefe, wold much more than thriue;
for, they would smothred be with Mens repaire.
Some Bladuds would inuest them with their Robes,
nay, Crowne them too, to learne them but to flye:
That so they might but glide about the Globes,
to be admir'd for Iack-dawes qualitie.
So much Men, singularitie affect,
that to be singular, (though but in Toyes)
They'l freely giue what they doe most respect;
so much their inward Man, loues outward Ioyes:
Nay, Men to Hell will creep from out the Croude,
Ere they'l be drowned in the Multitude.
