            Cum tua non aedas, carpis mea Opuscula, Mome;
                 Carpere vel noli nostra, vel aede tua.

            Thou putst not out thy works, yet carpst at mine;
              Leaue off to carpe at mine, or put out thine.


('leaue' = 'leave' ?)

              Cum tua non edas, carpis mea carmina, Laeli.
              Carpere vel noli nostra, vel ede tua.
