Epig. IIII. In habitum Honoris.

Times Swan-white wings illustrate Honour weares,
With which frō earth she mounts vnto the Spheares:
Truths azure robes are her immortall weeds,
Painted with Fames bright star-made glorious deeds,
They then that Honour seeke by deeds of fame,
Through time and truth must first attempt the same.
