To his much respected friends, the Society of Florists.
But some there be that are so pure and sage,
That they doe utterly abhorre a Stage,
Because they would be still accounted holy,
And know, the Stage doth oft bewray their folly.
You could but wonder to see what distaste
They tooke, to see an Hypocrite uncas’d
Oh had they power, they would the Author use
As ill as Bacchus Priests did Orpheus.
(Ralph Knevet)
