Greenes neuer too late. Or, A powder of experience: sent to all youthfull gentlemen to roote out the infectious follies, that ouer-reaching conceits foster in the spring time of their youth. Decyphering in a true English historie, those particular vanities, that with their frostie vapours nip the blossoms of euery ripe braine, from atteining to his intended perfection. As pleasant, as profitable, being a right pumice stone, apt to race out idlenesse with delight, and follie with admonition. Rob. Greene in artibus Magister.

IF Horace satyres merit mickle praise, For taunting such as liu'd in Paphos Ile, If wise Propertius was in elder dayes Laureat for figuring out fond Venus wile: If Rome applauded Ouids pleasing verse, That did the salues that medcine loue rehearse.

Then English Gentles stoope and gather bayes, Make coronets of Floraes proudest flowers, As gifts for Greene for he must haue the praise, And taste the deawes that high Parna••sus showers, As hauing leapt beyond olde Horace straine, In taunting louers for their fruitlesse paine.

His Nunquam sera more conceits combines, Than wanton Ouid in his art did paint, And sharper satyres are within his lines, Than Martial s••ong prowd Venus to attaint, Reade then his art, and all his actions proue, There is no follie like to foolish loue.
