Epig. 163 To my right deere friend, approued for such, Iohn Panton Esquire.

If not to thee, to whome then should I write,
My stayedst louer, and my fastest friend;
My Bodies right Arme; that Armes hand as right:
Yea, all in all with me vnto the end:
In few; (for with true friends, few words are best)
Thine All, Makes all thy friends as glad as blest.
