MANS wisedome great, doth farre surpasse his strengthe,
For proofe, behoulde, no man could bende the bowe:
But yet, his witte deuised at the lengthe,
To winde the stringe so farre as it shoulde goe:
The wisedome chiefe, and strengthe, must come behinde,
But bothe be good, and giftes from God assignde.
Ouid. 2. Pont.
Adde quod ingenuas
didicisse fideliter artes,
Emollit mores, nec
sinit esse feros.
