Epig. 111. To mine honorable friend Sr. Richard Tracy Knight.
Sir, you haue match'd with Her that was to meWhat ioy could be in any mortall heart:
For her, and for your selfe (sith one you be)
With those I best esteeme, you shall haue part
Of what I best esteeme; that is, such praise
As they deserue, that worthy wiues elect,
Which could not be, were you not many waies
Worthy; for, Likenesse still doth Loue effect:

Will honor you for that eternally.
