HUGH RHODES’S BOOK OF NURTURE
AND SCHOOL OF GOOD MANNERS

All ye that would learn and then would be calléd wise,

Obedience learn in youth, in age it will avoid vice.

I am blind in poet’s art, thereof I have no skill;

All eloquence I put apart, and follow mine own will.

Corrupt in speech my briefs and longs[[317]] to know,

Born and bred in Devonshire, my terms will well show.
