On his elaborated Art-contrived Playes.

An Epigram.

Each like an Indian Ship or Hull appeares
That tooke a voyage for some certaine yeares
To plow the sea, and furrow up the main,
And brought rich Ingots from his loaden brain.
His Art the Sunne; his Labours were the lines,
His solide stuffe the treasure of his lines.
Wil. Hodgson.
