To my Worthily much honored M. Richard Martin, learned in the Lawes, Arts, and Languages.

Marten , the Bird, the Beast, the Man in grace;
Haue all three, three peculiar dearest things:
The Bird for taking time of Time and Place:
The Beast for his rich Case, the Case of Kings;
And thou, the Man, for thy high Wit and Worth,
So, Man, Beast, Bird, A Marten thus sets forth.
