My Fare-well to him.

Now Coriat, I with thee haue euer done,
My Muse vnto her iournies end hath wonne:
My first Inuentions highly did displease thee,
And these my last are written to appease thee.
I wrought these great Herculean works to win thee:
Then if they please thee not, the foole's within thee:
What next I write, shall better be or none,
Doe thou let me, and I'l let thee alone.
But if thou seem'st to rub a galled sore,
Vindictas vengeance makes all Hell to rore.
