An Acrostick-Sonnet. To his learned and welbeloued friend, Mr.

Recreated with sweet sauours
Of thy various curious Labours,
Beautified with Arts trim Treasures,
Ex'lent for Poeticke-Measures;
Rapt (I say) with so rare view,
Thanks (me thinks) at least, was due.
Heere, I found such fragrant flowers,
As, best drest Uranias Bowers;
Yelding Sents and Sights admired,
Meet, the Muses Browes t'haue tyred:
As, They (then) are, thus grac'd by Thee,
Neuer, may They, Grace, deny Thee.

Ad eundem: Per eundem.

If Newfound-Land yeeld such commodities,
I'd thither trade, for so rare Marchandize.
Yours, Iohn Vicars.
