Epigram. 67. Ad amantissimos fratres Robertum & Richardum Adamos noui Collegij Socios.

Adam's first children, in the worlds first state,
Were iangling still, and still were at debate.
Till by that enuious, and bloud-thirstie Cain,
Abel, not able to resist, was slaine,

You Adams children, his first children bee,
Yet brother-like, nay friend-like both agree.
