Epig. V. In Caput.

[_]

Æternitas.

A crowne of Roses pluckt by her owne hand
From Fames faire tree, vpon her head doth stand
Whose amber tresses flowing downe thereby,
Seeme golden ensignes of Eternitie.
He then that gets a tramell of that heare,
Or Rose, for pledge of Honours grace to weare,
The gallant is, whom Fame shall eternize.
For Honours gifts are glorious in all eyes.
