Thus much for artificial Babes; and now To those who are in years but such, I bow
My Pen to teach them what the Letters be, And how they may improve their A, B, C. Nor let my pretty Children them despise; All, needs must there begin, that would be wise.
Nor let them fall under Discouragement, Who at their Horn-book stick, and time hath spent Upon that A, B, C. while others do Into their Primer, or their Psalter go. Some Boys with difficulty do begin, Who in the end, the Bays, and Laurel win.
