Of Pallas and Arachne’s arts,

That you could mean no less.

Why do you wear the silk-worm’s toils,

Or glory in the shell-fish spoils,

Or strive to shew the grains of ore,

That you have gathered on the shore,

Whereof to make a stock

To graft the greener emerald on,

Or any better-water’s stone?

Or ruby of the rock?
