At th’ horse-foot fountain thou hast drank full deep,
Vertues or vices theme to thee all one is:
Who loves chaste life, there’s Lucrece for a Teacher:
Who but read lust there’s Venus and Adonis,
True model of a most lascivious leacher.
Besides in plays thy wit winds like Meander:
Whence needy new-composers borrow more
Than Terence doth from Plautus or Menander.
But to praise thee aright I want thy store:
Then let thine own works thine own worth upraise,
