Epig. 3. To Doctor Bulwer, on his artificiall Changeling .

Were Naso now alive, and should he see
Thy Book full fraught with Ingenuitie,
He would write or'e his changed shapes anew,
Or scorne to weare the Chaplet that's thy due:
Those that read thee, and find no change at all,
Are Changelings, not by Art, but Naturall.
