 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 103. To my much honored, & beloued, Sr. Thomas Lucy Knight.
Bright Sparke of Wit and Courage; yet ynowTo set a worlde of hearts, in loue, on fire;
Whose influence prouokes my Muses Plow
To cast thy Beames abroad that be intire.
Thou all-belou'd and highly prized Iemme.
That in the Courts Browes (like a Diamond,
Or Hesperus in heauen) dost lighten them,
For men to see their way on Glories Ground;
Of thy most honor'd nature, take in gree,
This offer of my Muse to honor thee.
