conceits of a good wit, both in prose and rime: yet they can no more
giue a Cornish word for Tye, then the Greekes for Ineptus, the French
for Stand, the English for Emulus, or the Irish for Knaue.

borrow of the English: mary, this want is releeuved with a flood of
most bitter curses, and spitefull nick-names.
They place the adiective after the substantive, like the Grecians
and Latines, as Father ours, March guiddn, horse white, &c.
