Of kindred, one to tell thee that thy plays

Are laught at by the pit, box, galleries, nay, stage?

Think on't a while, and thou wilt quickly find

Thy body made for labour, not thy mind.

No other use of paper thou shouldst make

Carry vast burdens till thy shoulders shrink,

But curst be he that gives thee pen and ink:

Such dangerous weapons should be kept from fools,

As nurses from their children keep edg'd tools:
