In curiosos
Let maidens sowe; let schollers: plie the schooles.
Give PALINURE: his compasse, and his carde.
Let MARS, have armes: let VULCANE, use his tooles.
Give CORYDON, the ploughe, and harrowe harde.
Give PAN, the pipe: give bilbowe blade, to
swashe.
Let Grimme have coales: and lobbe his whippe to
lashe.
Let none presume an others arte to use,
But trie the trade, to which he hath bene kept:
But those that like a skill unknowne to choose,
Let them behoulde: while that the workeman slept,
The toying ape, was tempringe with his blockes,
Untill his foote was crush'd within the stockes.
