WHERE as the good, do liue amongst the bad:
And vertue growes, where seede of vices springes:
The wicked sorte to wounde the good, are glad:
And vices thrust at vertue, all their stinges:
The like, where witte, and learning doe remaine,
Where follie rules, and ignoraunce doth raigne.
Yet as wee see, the lillie freshlie bloomes,
Though thornes, and briers, enclose it round aboute:
So with the good, thoughe wicked haue their roomes,
They are preseru'd, in spite of all their route:
And learning liues, and vertue still doth shine,
When follie dies, and ignoraunce doth pine.
