Epig. 1 Ad Richardum Houghton Militem
If that my pen were of the wing of Fame,And Gods immortall Nectar for my inke;
Then could I canonize great Houghtons name:
Til thē my Muse speaks not what she doth think
Long shuld'st thou liue in thy gold-gilded tower
If that my Muse could keep thee stil from death:
Long bathe thy selfe in that thy blissefull bower,
If my waste paper could but lend thee breath:
Yet this my duty doe not hold in scorne;
My Muse hereafter may thy praise adorne.
