Pem.

When Workemen striue to do better then wel,

They do confound their skill in couteousnesse,

And oftentimes excusing of a fault,

Doth make the fault the worse by th'excuse:

As patches set vpon a little breach,

Discredite more in hiding of the fault,

Then did the fault before it was so patch'd.
