Epigr. 8. Ad Do. Mountioy.

Great Lord, thine honour and thine excellence,
Among the least hath worthy residence;
Of which I am, as meane, as low as any;
Yet a true heart and witnesse with the many.
7

Then learne of me what th' vnknowne vulgar saies,
how high the lowe extoll thy worthy praise.
Here thou dost sit, these harts thy worth doth moue
These know thy vertues, daine to know their loue.
