XVIII. To My Meere English Censurer.
To thee, my way in Epigrammes seemes new,When both it is the old way, and the true.
Thou saist, that cannot be: for thou hast seene
Davis, and Weever, and the best have beene,
And mine come nothing like. I hope so. Yet,
As theirs did with thee, mine might credit get:
If thou 'ldst but use thy faith, as thou didst then,
When thou wert wont t'admire, not censure men.
Pr'y thee, beleeve still, and not judge so fast,
Thy faith is all the knowledge that thou hast.
