"_Wise men labour_," _&c._--

On the fly-leaf of Sir Roger Twysden's copy of Stow's _Annales_ are the

following, lines, dated 1643:

"Wise men labour, good men grieve,

Knaves devise, and fooles believe;

Help, Lord! and now stand to us,

Or fooles and knaves will quite undoe us,

Or knaves and fooles will quite undoe us."

From whence are these lines taken?
