Epig. 16 Ad Thomam Holecroft De Vaile Roiall. Armig.

Doth Ualorous Holecroft royalize Uaile Roiall,
Or doth Vaile Royall royalize his name?
His deedes too great vnuail'd to shew his triall,
Then through a Vaile Ile royalize his fame:
Thus from Vaile Royal borrow I the vaile,
To hide his vertues when my wit doth faile.
