Context

“PRINCESS OF FRANCE. None are so surely caught, when they are
catch'd, As wit turn'd fool; folly, in wisdom hatch'd, Hath wisdom's warrant and the help of school, And wit's own grace to grace a learned fool. ROSALINE. The blood of youth burns not with such excess
As gravity's revolt to wantonness. Maria. Folly in fools bears not so strong a note
As fool'ry in the wise when wit doth dote, Since all the power thereof it doth apply To prove, by wit, worth in simplicity.” source
