To his worthy Friend vpon these Satyres.

Satyres in English? I pray God your fate,
Send's you not into the world too late
To proue there may be such; For there ha's bin
So much deceit in Satyres, 'tis a Sin
(Almost) to hope for good ones: They who best
Haue done, haue onely Dar'd: and more exprest
Their Passions, then a Poem. Nay eeuen all
Doe but conuert their little Braines to gall:
And bee it bitter once they care not then
How venomous it be. Which errors when
I see, and see how well approu'd they are,
'Tis more then miracle, Your's be so farre
Distinguished. And that you suruiue to Write,
More out of true discerning then of Spite.
I. Stephens.
