CERTAIN EPIGRAMS of the same Mr. H. S.

Translated; & Dedicated To my deer-affected, due-respected, Dr. Hall; & Dr. Hill.

[I owe You Each a larger Summe]

I owe You Each a larger Summe:
Why bring I then to Both a Crumme?
To shew you Both, my Shifts, to liue;
Euen faine to Borrow what I giue:
But Better so, then (blushless) steale
Others Conceipts; or Debts conceale.
Till more my Might, diuide this Myte.
A Larke (they say) is worth a Kyte:
Some Greater, greater things present,
Of lesser Worth, or worser meant.
God measures not our Work, but Will:
Doe You the like: and loue me still.
I. S.
