Epig. 158. To my worthy kinde friend Mr. Isacke Simonds.

Thine out and in-side both, seeme such to me
As, were I Arthure thou my knight shouldst be:
And at my Table round, shouldst haue a place,
To shew the Worlde hew thou sat'st in my grace:
But, sith that cannot be: this may, and can,
Play thou the King of Harts, Ile play thy Man;
But not the knaue, though all the Worlde we wan.
