Epigram. 93. To his worthy friend Maister Heywood, of his Gold and Siluer Age.

So wrote the ancient Poets heeretofore,
So hast thou liuely furnished the stage,
Both with the golden, and the siluer age,
Yet thou, as they, dost but discourse of store,
Siluer and gold is common to your Poet,
To haue it, no; enough for him to know it.
