Epig. 19. In Georgium Meriton, & Georgium Mountaine.

Your entertaine (nor can I passe away)
Of Essex with farre-famed Lælia;
Nor fore the Queen your seruice on Queens day
When such a Maister with you beareth sway,
How can Queenes College euer then decay?
No. Yet Queenes College euermore hath beene
Is, and will be, of Colleges the Queene.
