Epig. 22. In Gulielmum Rich: Cantabr: procu.

But that I am too poore to pen thy praise,
I would presume thy glorious name to raise:
Beyond the riches of the Indian land,
Worth more then worthlesse Tagus golden sand:
But O thy vertues passe my praises pitch,
Thy learnings fame aboue thy name is rich:
How wel then Vertue sorts her with thy fame
That art both rich in Art, and Rich in Name.
