Epig. III. In templum Honoris.
Vpon a hill, whose height doth reach the starres,Honour hath rais'd her phane: true vertue barres
The passage to the same, whose Temple stands
In the mid-way. Without industrious hands,
Things great and glorious no man may attaine.
He that wil clime this hil to Honours phane,
First, like the mysterie-supporting asse,
Through vertues temple must with patience passe.
