Against Sextus, a scorner of Writers

OF Writers, Sextus known a true despiser,
Affirmes, that on our writings oft he lookes,
And confesseth he growes ne're the wiser.
But Sextus, where's the fault? not in our bookes.
No sure, tis in your selfe (Ile tell you wherefore)
Bookes giue not wisedome where was none before.
But where some is, there reading makes it more.
