Is it not time to polish then our Welsh

When hinds and peasants such invectives belch?

Then English bravely study: 'tis no shame

For grave divines to win an English fame.

I've heard a worthy man, approv'd for learning,

Say that in plays and rhymes we may be earning

Both wit and knowledge: and that Sidney-prose

40Outmusics Tully, if it 'scape the rose.

Then purg'd from gall (ingenuous friends) peruse,

And though you chide the author, spare the muse.
