Scholers your Studies, and your Books lay by,
Unless you could with Art and Industry
Something produce, beyond what here is shown,
By one to whom your Learning is unknown;
Nature in him th'Effect of Art supplies
With stories full of such varieties,
And proper Language, for all Humours fit,
So wonderful, for Judgement, and for Wit;
That onely he, so aptly could Relate,
What his high Fancy could alone Create.
