Epig. 23 Ad Iohannem Egerton.

He that would garnish with a seuerall light
Thy seuerall vertues, and in praise them dight:
He should not want that wittie treasures store,
Which Muses gaue to Homer once of yore:
But wit I want, therefore Ile spare my song,
Lest poore in praise, thou count me rich in wrong
