CXXI. To Benjamin Rudyerd.
Rudyerd, as lesser dames to great ones use,My lighter comes, to kisse thy learned Muse;
39
She learnes to know long difference of their states.
Yet is the office not to be despis'd,
If only love should make the action pris'd:
Nor he, for friendship, to be thought unfit,
That strives, his manners should procede his wit.
