To Jeffry the Kings dwarfe.

Smal Sir! me thinks in your lesse self I see
Exprest the lesser worlds Epitomie.
You may write man, ith' abstract so you are,
Though printed in a smaller Character.
The pocket volume hath as much within't
As the broad Folio in a larger print,
And is more useful too. Though low you seem
Yet you'ar both great and high in mens esteem.

Your soul's as large as others, so's your mind:
To greatness Virtue's not like strength confin'd.
