Epig. 13. On the two admirable witts, Francis Beaumont, and John Fletcher .

Cease Greece to boast of Aristophanes,
Or of Menander, or Euripides,
The Comick Sock, and Tragick Buskin we
Weare neatest here, in forreigne Brittanie:
Or if you list to struggle for the Bayes,
Wee'l fight with Beaumont's, and with Fletchers Playes.
