THE touche doth trye, the fine, and purest goulde:
And not the sound, or els the goodly showe.
So, if mennes wayes, and vertues, wee behoulde.
The worthy men, wee by their workes, shall knowe.
But gallant lookes, and outward showes beguile,
And ofter are clokes to cogitacions vile.
Claud. 2. Stil. de
fide.
Haec & amicitias, longo
post tempore firmat,
MansurĂ³que adamante
ligat, nec mobile mutat
Ingenium, paruae stre-
pitu nec vincula noxae
Dissolui patitur, nec fa-
stidere priorem
Allicitur veniente
nouo, &c.
