To my worthy approued friend Mistris Sisley Tyse.

Thy Vertues do intice me, Tyse, to set
Thy name (for Loue and Fames sake) in my Rimes
Least Time should either Them or Thee forgett,
Whose Wisdome, Woman-hood, & parts (like crimes)
Do staine most Wiues, as Phœbus doth the Fire;
Then, liue thou in my Rime, till Time expire.
