Epig. 1 Ad Thomam Gerard Militem

Gerard , among the labours of my quill,
Which my glad Muse presumingly hath writ,
As one right worthie thee commend I will,
For valour, wisedome, bountihood and wit:
But valiant Gerard, thee or thine to praise,
Is for to praise the star-bespangled skie,
Fame long agoe vnto the heau'ns did raise
Thy rare exploits and Mars-like Chiualrie:
Sith by thy deedes thy praise abroad doth flie,
Thy selfe commends thy selfe, then need not I.
