Two bookes of epigrammes, and epitaphs | ||
To Sir Charles Shirley, Baronet.
This verse, (whose Author was so neare you bred)Seemes to runne straight to you for Patronage,
As to a brave Bud, that hath promised
The fruit of Honour in maturer age:
Daigne then these leaves to sweeten with your Springs
Faire growth, and listen whilst a Black-bird sings.
