Epig. 16 In Robertum Shute fil: Rob: Pre.

How faire yong Shute shootes at his fathers aime
A few such shootes, and Shute will win the game:
If Shute shoote on as now he doth begin,
With learnings arrow hee'le cliue honours pin:
He le hit the white which Shute shot at (his father)
He shootes beyond his vertues I thinke rather:
Thus shootes yong Shute, if then his father Shute
For him we chang'd, we need not ask much boot.
