Epig. 20. Ad Dudlæum North.
The sparkling lust of a pretious stone,Breedes often wonder to the looker on:
But the resplendance of this pearle is more,
If laid in gold enameld with ore:
Thy noble birth (yōg North) doth shine as bright,
As doth a Christall in the darksome night:
But learning in so faire and yong a molde,
Is like a Christall stone in burnisht golde.
