A worke adorned with varietie of matter, both pleasant and profitable: Wherein those that please, maye finde to fit their fancies: Bicause herein, by the office of the eie, and the eare, the minde maye reape dooble delighte throughe holsome preceptes, shadowed with pleasant deuises: both fit for the vertuous, to their incoraging: and for the wicked, for their admonishing and amendment |

Jn studiosum captum amore.
A Reuerend sage, of wisedome most profounde,
Beganne to doate, and laye awaye his bookes:
For Cvpid then, his tender harte did wounde,
That onlie nowe, he lik'de his ladies lookes?
Oh Venvs staie? since once the price was thine,
Thou ought'st not still, at Pallas thus repine.
Omnes humanos sanat medicina dolores:
Beganne to doate, and laye awaye his bookes:
For Cvpid then, his tender harte did wounde,
That onlie nowe, he lik'de his ladies lookes?
Oh Venvs staie? since once the price was thine,
Thou ought'st not still, at Pallas thus repine.
Solus amor morbi non amat artificem.
Propert. 2.
