Thy studie for meere-praise, will thee deceive:

And, if thy Vertues, be, but onely, those

For which the vulgar Fame, her Trumpet blowes,

Thy Fame's a blast; Thy Vertues, Vices be;

Thy Studie's vaine; and, shame will follow thee.


Above thy Knowledge, doe not rise,
But, with Sobrietie, be wise,
