18. To Master Beniamin Iohnson, Witty Epigrammatist, and most excellent Poet.
My Epigrams come after yours in time;So doe they in conceipt, in forme, in Ryme;
My wit's in fault, the fault is none of mine:
For if my will could haue inspir'd my wit,
There neuer had beene better Verses writ,
As good as yours, could I haue ruled it.
