48. To Master Pestell of Packinton.

Lo here her labours doth my Muse commend
To you, her Phœbus, and her choicest friend;
Whose knowledge, brightned with a beame divine,
Doth through the frowning clouds of envy shine,
Making its splendour (like that desert flame)
A guide to blisse, a columne to your fame.
