Epig. XXII. In Euphrosynem.

Evphrosyne is, though the last of three,
A Grace not least belou'd of Charitie,
She's her delight. Euphrosyne therefore
Shee calles her name: and as the first before
Giues chearfully, the second thankfull takes,
This third a double restitution makes.
Since then these three true Charitie explaine,
To giue, to take, and to restore againe;
The Graces t'all from Charitie say this,
Giue, take, restore, and neuer doe amisse.
