And Anaxagoras inprisoned long with paine?

For cruel beastly coyne diuine Plato was soulde,

And Aristotle sent to exile, where he dyde:

And so was Solon sage, and that Licurgus wise,

And many more, which here I could at large repeat:

But let these fewe suffice to teach for certaine truth,

That al the men that liue, are subiectes al to ruth:

And seeing so it is, then let them learne the meane,

That if the barke do breake, they safe may swimme to land.
