Whitney, 1586.
“The little childe, is pleas’de with cockhorse gaie,
Althoughe he aske a courser of the beste:
The ideot likes, with bables for to plaie,
And is disgrac’de, when he is brauelie dreste:
A motley coate, a cockescombe, or a bell,
Hee better likes, then Iewelles that excell.
So fondelinges vaine, that doe for honor sue,
And seeke for roomes, that worthie men deserue:
