To my friend the Author, on his Poem intituled Κοσμοβρεφια.
When I survey thy well-composed pieceI stand amaz'd at thy rare Artifice
Thy curious Pencil guided by a hand
More skilful then Apelles could command,
Hath, to the greatest Artists emulation,
A stately Landskip of the Worlds Creation,
Drawn to the life: my friend each polish'd line
Is guilded o're with eloquence divine:
VVhich feeds with loftier Ayers, juditious ears
Then those causd by the motion of the Spheres.
I'le only add, by way of approbation,
Thy serious work's an heavenly Recreation,
Francis Taylor.
Cant. Jan. 1. 1656.
