Epig. 175. To my beloued right-well-deseruing friend Mr. Iohn Speed.
Sith thou art Speed, and my good friend withall,With speed Ile tell thee thou art prodigall
Of thy good guifts; and giust them still for nought
But for meere fame; which comes where least it's sought.
But thou deseru'st a farre more worthie Fee;
In part of paiment, then, take these of mee.
