H friend, that I to mine owne Notion Had ioyned but your experience I haue the Theoricke, But you the Praéticke. I perhaps, haue feene what you haue oram read of. Dal. There's your happinefle. A Scholler in his ftudy knowes the times, Their motion and their in¿uence, which are fixt, And which are wandering, can decipher Seas, And giue each feuerall Land his proper bounds But fet him to the Compafl'e, hee s to feeke, When a plaine Pilot can, direct his courfe From hence vnto both th' Indies; can bring backe His (hip and charge, with profits quintuple.
I haue read Ierufalem, and ¿udied Rome, Can tell 1n what degree each City (lands, Defcribe the diftance of this place from that, All this the Scale 1n euery Map can teach, Nay, for a neede could punc'tually recite The Monuments 1n either, but what I Haue by relation only, knowledge by trauell Which {till makes vp a compleat Gentleman, Prooues eminent in you.
