To teach the ruder fhepheard how to feede his fheepe, And from the falfers fraud his folded flocke to keepe. Goe little Calender ,thou hafte a free paffeporte, Goe but a lowly gate amoncgeft the meaner forte. Dare not to match thy pype with T ytirus his file,. Nor with the Pilgrim that the Ploughman playd a while; But follow them farre off,and their hich fleps adore, The bester pleafe,the worfe defpife,1 aske no more.
