JAMES HARMAN IN COMMENDATIONS OF THE AUTHOR.
I can but muse to see thy timerous muse,
Of Enuies hidden sting to stand in awe:
What though th'Athinian carpenter did bruse
The forward youth, foyboasting of his saw:
Enuie will turne to loue, and loue to liking,
Such influence abideth in thy wryghting.

Such influence abideth in thy wryghting.
Let but the gentle reader read thy yeares,
Thy cygnet for a swanne he will allow;
For by Achilles loues it well appeares,
Thee with hir treasure Pallas did indow.
Let this suffice for all, thou mayst be bolde,
So young a head neare wrote a verse so olde.

Cum tonat ocyus ilex Sulphure discuitur sacro quam tuque domusque.
