Epig. 164. To my most deere Pupill. Mr. Henry Maynwarring.
Your Soule (deere Sir) for I can iudge of Sprights,Though not iudge Soules) is like (besides her Sire)
Those euer-beaming Eye-delighting lights
Which do heau'ns Body inwardly attire:
For, her superior Part (your spotlesse minde)
Hath nought therein, that's not Angelicall:
As high, as lowly, in a diuerse kinde,
And kind in either: so, belou'd of all.
Then (noble Henry) loue me as thine owne,
That liues but (wish thy worths) to make thee knowne.
