Thus farre the Ilian Ruines I haue laid
Open to English eyes. In which (repaid
With thine owne value;) go vnualu'd Booke
Liue, and be lou'd. If any enuious looke
Hurt thy cleare fame; learne that no state more hie
Attends on vertue, then pin'd Enuies eye.
Would thou wert worth it, that the best doth wound;
Which this Age feedes, and which the last shall bound.
