On the fly-leaf of Sir Roger Twysden's copy of Stow's Annales are the following, lines, dated 1643:
"Wise men labour, good men grieve,
Knaves devise, and fooles believe;
Help, Lord! and now stand to us,
Or fooles and knaves will quite undoe us,
Or knaves and fooles will quite undoe us."
From whence are these lines taken?
