M. D. ESQUIRE TO HIS GOOD FRIEND, T. V.
What Thou do'st teach, by others heretoforeHath likewise bin. But yet by no man more
To the true life. That by thy godly care,
Thou and thine Authour equally doe share.
Thou praisest him Translating, but if he
Understood English he would more praise thee.
Thou to our Nation ha'st his Doctrine showne,
Which to our vulgar else had not beene knowne;
As much by this thou get'st as ere he wanne:
England praise Vicars, Dantsk her Keckerman.
Mich. Drayton.
