To the same

On His Translation of two Spanish Novells.

This Transplantation of Sicilian Loves
To the more pleasing shades of Albion's groves
Though I admire, yet not the thing betrayes
My soule to so much wonder, as the wayes
And manner of effecting; That thy youth
Untravail'd there, should with such happy truth
Unlock us this Iberian Cabinet,
Whose diamonds you in polisht English set,
Such as may teach the eyes of any dame
Ith' Brittish Court to give and take a flame;
Herein the greatest miracle we see,
That Spain for this hath traveld unto thee.
