To the deseruing author, Iohn Taylor.

It is disputed much among the wise,
If that there be a water in the skyes:
If there be one: no Water-man before,
Was euer knowne to row in't with his Oare.
If none; such is thy high surmounting pen,
It soares aboue the straine of Watermen:
Whether there be or no, seeke farre and neere,
Th'art matchlesse sure in this our hemispheere.
William Branthwaite Cant.
