Epig. 206. To the well deseruing Mr. Iohn Fletcher.

Loue lies a bleeding, if it should not proue
Her vttmost art to shew why it doth loue.

Thou being the Subiect (now) It raignes vpon;
Raign'st in Arte, Iudgement, and Inuention:
For this I loue thee: and can doe no lesse
For thine as faire, as faithfull Sheepheardesse.
