On Dul
From Clarastella (1650), Epigrams, Lib. 1
Social Commentaries
Dul readeth much, many a leaf turns o'r,
Yet grows no wiser than he was before;
Can tel you many Authors names by roat,
Which upon all occasions he wil quoat:
Forgets the text, which he ne'r understood,
Thus he eats much, but cann't disgest his food.
Be not too greedie Dul! first learn to spel!
Who rides too fast, at first, he rides not wel.
