To the Author, Iohn Taylor.

Wast euer keowne to any time before,
That so much skill in Poesie could be,
Th'attendant to a Skull, or painefull oare?
Thou liu'st in water, but the fire in thee;
That mounting Element, that made thee chuse,
To court Vrania, the diuinest Muse.
Row on: to watermen did neuer blow
A gale so good, none so much goodnesse know.
Thomas Brewer.
