Of Demostenes, that was his vtter foo:

Few shall ye fynde or none that wyll do so.

Dame Pallas to the Quene of Fame.

A thanke to haue, ye haue well deseruyd,

Your mynde that can maynteyne so apparently; 170

But a grete parte yet[1529] ye haue reseruyd

Of that most folow then conseqently,

Or els ye demeane you inordinatly;

For if ye laude hym whome honour hath opprest,

Then he that doth worste is as good as the best.
