The Crowne of All Homers Workes/To Glavcvs: who was so Miserablie, Sparing; that He Feared all Mens Accesse to Him

by Homer

 

TO GLAVCVS:
WHO WAS SO MISERABLIE,
SPARING; THAT
HE FEARED ALL MENS
ACCESSE TO HIM

 

$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}$laucus? though wise enough; yet one word more,
Let my aduice add, to thy wisedomes store,
For t'will be better so. Before thy Dore
Giue still thy Mastifs Meate; that will be sure
To lie there, therefore, still; and not endure
(With way-laid eares) the softest foot can fall;
But Men, and Beasts, make fly Thee and thy stall.
