 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 204. To my worthily beloued Mr. William Alexander of Menstrie.
98
Made him a God with men) acchiued no more
Then thy as happy Pen hath well assur'd
Vnto thy Name, which Glory doth decore.
I know thee not; but, know I should do ill
Not to take knowledge of what is in Thee
When thou hast publisht it with so great skill.
Which makes Thee ore thy Monarches Soueraigne bee:
For, they, beeing happy, prou'd vnhappy Men
Whome thou hast made most happy with thy Pen.
