AN aged dame, in reuerence of the dead,
With care did place, the sculles of men shee founde,
Vppon an hill, as in a sacred bed,
But as shee toil'de, shee stumbled to the grounde:
Whereat, downe fell the heades within her lappe,
And here, and there, they ranne abowt the hill:
With that, quoth shee, no maruaile is this happe,
Since men aliue, in myndes do differ still:
And like as theise, in sunder downe do fall,
So varried they, in their opinions all.
Velle suum cuique est, nec voto viuitur vno.
Mercibus hic Italis, mutat sub sole recenti
Rugosum piper, & pallentis grana cumini:
Hic satur irriguo mauult turgescere somno:
Hic campo indulget, hunc alea decoquit: &c.
