THE fruicte that soonest ripes, doth soonest fade awaie.
And that which slowlie hath his time, will not so soone decaie.
Our writing in the duste, can not indure a blaste:
Euen so it is of wittes, some quicke, to put in vre:
Some dull to learne, but oftentimes the slowe are sounde, and sure.
And thoughe the apte, and prompte: soone learne, and soone forget.
Yet ofte the dull doe beare in minde, what firste therein was set.
Hereof the prouerbe comes: Soone ripe, soone rotten turnes:
And greenest wood, though kindlinge long, yet whottest most it
burnes.
Alba ligustra cadunt, vaccinia nigra leguntur.
