This Crystall sight is not for all mens Eyes,
But onely serues for the iudicious wise,
Fooles, they may gaze as long as ere they will,
And be as blind as any Beetle still:
A purblinde Momus fleeringly will looke,
And spie no knaue but's selfe in all the Booke.
A Sicophant, that slaues himselfe to all,
Will his owne Knaue-Companions honest call,
And wilfull winke, because he will not see,
With diuers sorts of Buzzards else that be:
But these we leaue to their defectiue sight,
With Bats and Owles that blinded are by light.
