Tis no affliction to mee, for even thus
Saint Paul hath fought with beasts at Ephesus,
And I at Windsor. Let this comfort then
Rest with all able and deserving men:
Hee that will please the guard, and not provoke
Court-witts, must suite his learning by a cloake:
“For at all feasts and masques the doome hath bin,
“A man thrust out and a gay cloake let in.”
Quid immerentes hospites vexas canis,
Ignavus adversus lupos?
