And to speak out: though I detest the sect
Of Epicurus for their manners vile,
Yet what is true I may not well reject.
Truth’s incorruptible, ne can the style
Of vitious pen her sacred worth defile.
If we no more of truth should deign t’ embrace
Then what unworthy mouths did never soyl,
No truths at all mongst men would finden place
But make them speedie wings and back to Heaven apace.
