To his worthy Friend Mr. W. Browne, on his Booke.

That Poets are not bred so, but so borne,
Thy Muse it proues; for in her ages morne
She hath stroke enuy dumbe, and charm'd the loue
Of eu'ry Muse whose birth the Skies approue.
Goe on; I know thou art too good to feare.
And may thy earely straines affect the eare
Of that rare Lord, who iudge and guerdon can
The richer gifts which doe aduantage man!
Iohn Morgan, è Societate Inter. Templi.
