Epigram. XL. Ad D. D. King Aedis Christi Decanum, et Academiæ Oxon. Vicecancellarium.

How oft haue I beene rauish'd with delight,
Whil'st that my greedy care drank in thy words!
How haue thy threatnings put me in a fright,
Piercing my soule worse then a thousand swords!
He that shall heare thee cannot choose but wonder,
To heare one speake so sweet, and yet to thunder.
