Epigr. 1 Ad Do. Mountioy.
Mountioy if I haue praised worthy men,And with safe liberty contented me,
Touching no states with my presumptious pen:
If from all secret biting I am free:
I hope I shall not loose thy patronage,
If I doe lawfull thinges and voyde of feare,
If hunt the Fox if bring the Ape on stage,
If I doe whip a curr or baite the Beare,
For these are exercises of such sorte,
As ly alike to earnest and to sporte.
