Against ouer-weening worthlesse Florus.

E PIG . 279.

F LORUS doth thinke he is of great account,
And stands in number of the worthlest men;
He stands in deede (to make that number mount)
As cyphers stand in number now and then.
Then cyphers, beeing nothing, nought bring forth
But (cyphers-like) set out the others woorth.
