— Arts best nurse is honours chast desire, And glory sets all studious hearts on fire. Tho. Storer.

Art must be wonne by art and not by might. S. I. Harr. Transl.

Valour and Art are both the sonnes of Ioue, Both brethren by the father not the mother: Both peeres without compare, both liue in loue, But Art doth seeme to be the elder brother, Because he first gaue life vnto the other. Who afterward gaue life to him againe, Thus each by other doth his life retaine. Ch. Fitz. Ieffery.

Art is nobilities true register, Nobilitie Arts champion still is said: Learning is fortitudes right calender,

And fortitude is Learnings saint and aide, Thus if the ballances twixt both bewaide, Honour sheelds Learning from all iniurie, And Learning honour from blacke infamie. Idem.

Vaine is the Art that seeks it selfe for to deceiue. Ed. Spencer.
