Who more inuaied againft the manners of men then Martiall, and yet his verfe was lafciuious ? And had hee not better (quoth Gower) haue difcouered his prin- ciples in fome graue fort as Hejiode did or Pindaris, than in fuch amorous & wanton manner : the lightnefle of the conceit cracks halfe the credite, and the vanitie of the pen breeds the lefle beleefe. After Quid had written his Art of Loue, and fet the youth on fire to imbrace fancy, he could not reclaime them with Otia Ji tollas periere c...upidinis anus. The thoughts of young men are like Bauins, which once fet on fire, will not out tiU they be aflxes, and therefore doe I infer, that fuch Pamphlets doe rather preiudice than profite. Tufh (quoth Chawcer) all this is but a peremptorie felfe conceit in thine owne humour : for I will fhew thee for inftance, fuch fentences as may like the graueft, pleafe the wifeft, and inftrud: the youngeft and wantonneft, and they be thefe : firft of the difpofition of women.
