LEAVE of with paine, the blackamore to skowre, With washinge ofte, and wipinge more then due: For thou shalt finde, that Nature is of powre, Doe what thou canste, to keepe his former hue: Thoughe with a forke, wee Nature thruste awaie, Shee turnes againe, if wee withdrawe our hande: And thoughe, wee ofte to conquer her assaie, Yet all in vaine, shee turnes if still wee stande: Then euermore, in what thou doest assaie, Let reason rule, and doe the thinges thou maie. -- equusque Nunquam ex degeneri fiet generosus asello, Et nunquam ex stolido cordatus fiet ab arte. Erasmus ex Luciano. Abluis Aethiopem fru- strà: quin desinis artem? Haud vnquam efficies non sit vt atra, dies. Horat. 1. Epist. 10. Naturam expellas far- ca tamen vsque re- surret. Anulus in pict. Poësi.
