A02111	Greenes neuer too late. Or, A powder of experience: sent to all youthfull gentlemen to roote out the infectious follies, that ouer-reaching conceits foster in the spring time of their youth. Decyphering in a true English historie, those particular vanities, that with their frostie vapours nip the blossoms of euery ripe braine, from atteining to his intended perfection. As pleasant, as profitable, being a right pumice stone, apt to race out idlenesse with delight, and follie with admonition. Rob. Greene in artibus Magister.	Greene, Robert, 1558?-1592.	1590 (1590)	STC 12253; ESTC S105832	90,698	165

this Laborinth as to bee p●aine with thee that art my second selfe I want and am so farre indebted to the Mercer and mine Hostesse as either thou must stand my friend to disburse so much money for me or els I must depart from Troyno●ant and so from thy sight which how precious it is to mee I referre to thine owne conscience or for an Vltimum vale take vp my lodging in the counter which I know as it would be vncouth to me so it would bee gréeuefull to thee and therfore now hangs my welfare in thy wil. How loath I was to vtter vnto thee my want and sorrowe measure by my loue who wish rather death than thy discontent Infida could scarce suffer him in so long a Periode and therefore with her forehead full of furrowes shee made him this answere And would you haue me sir buy an ounce of pleasure with a cunne of mishappes or reach after repentaunce with so hie a rate haue I lent thee the blossoms of my youth and delighted thee with the prime of my yeares hast thou had the spoile of my virginitie and now wouldest thou haue the sacke of my substaunce when thou hast withered my person aymest thou at my wealth No sir no knowe that for the loue of thee I haue crackt my credite that neuer before was slained I cannot looke abroad without a blush nor go with my neighbours without a frump thou and thy name is euer cast in my dish my foes laugh and my f●●ends sorrow to sée my follies wherefore seeing thou beginnest to picke a quarrell and hereafter when thine owne base fortunes haue brought thee to beggarie ●ilt say that Infida cost thee ●o many Crownes and was thine ouerthrowe auaunt nouice home to thine owne wife who poore Gentlewoman sits and wants what thou consumest at Tauerns Thou hast had my despoyle and I feare I beate in my bellie the token of too much loue I ought thée Yet co●tent with this discredite rather than to runne into further extremitie get thée out of my d●●res for from hencefoorth thou shalt neuer be welcome to Infida And with that shee ●●ung vp and went into her Chamber Francesco would haue made a replie but shee woulde not heare him nor holde him any more ●hat

weighing how hardly he had vsed his Isabell at last leaning his head on his hand with teares in his eies he beganne to be thus extremely passionate Nowe Francesco piscator ictus sapit experience is a true mistresse but shee maketh her Schollers treade vpon Thornes hast thou not leaped into the ditch which thou hast long foreséene and bought that with repentance which thou hast so gréedily desired to reape Oh now thou seest the difference betweene loue and lust the one ful of contented pleasure the other of pleasing miseries thy thoughts were feathered with fancie and whether did they flie so farre that they fréeed themselues and thou rests consume● Oh Francesco what are women If they bee honest Saints the puritie of nature the excellence of vertue the perfection of earthly content But if they bee curtisans and strumpe●s Oh let mee breath before I can vtter the depth of such a monstrous description They be in shape Angels but in quallities Deuilles painted Sepulchres with rotten bones their foreheads are Kalenders of misfortunes their eies like comets that when they sparkle foretell some fatall disparagement they allure with amorous glaunces of lust and kill with bitter looks of hate they haue dimples in their cheekes to deceiue and wrinckles in their browe● to betray their lippes are like honie combes but who tasteth the droppes is impoisoned they are as cle●re as Christall but bruse them and they are as infectio●s as the Diamond their teares are like the Aconiton that the Hidra wept they present as Deiani●a shirts for presents but who so puts them on consumes like Hercules they lay out the foldes of their haire and i●tangle men in their tresses playing the horse-leach that sucketh while they burst betweene their breasts i● the vale of destruction and in their
