From The Nipping and Snipping of Abuses (1614)
Social Commentaries
Some Poets are, whose high pitch lofty straines
Are past the reach of euery vulgar wight:
To vnderstand which twill amaze weake braines,
So mysticall, sophisticall they write:
No maruell others vnderstand them not,
For they scarce vnderstand themselues, I wot,
