If their bee nothing new, but that which is,
Hath beene before, how are our braines beguild, Which laboring for inuention beare amisse The second burthen of a former child? Oh that record could with a back-ward looke, Euen of fiue hundreth courses of the Sunne, Show me your image in some antique booke, Since minde at first in carrecter was done.

Oh sure I am the wits of former daies, To subiects worse haue giuen admiring praise.
