In Authorem.

I wish my rough-hewne lines might gratifie,
The first borne of thy pleasing Poesie,
These be but blossomes: what will be the fruite,
When time and age, hath made thee more accute?
Meane while how euer Momus bite the lippe,
Each man will praise the weauers workmanship:
When wittie verse is worthily regarded,
Then shall thy verse be thankfully rewarded.
I. K. Mag: Art.
