[These laureat Temples which the Laurel grace]

These laureat Temples which the Laurel grace;
These Honest Lines these Signes of Wit and Art;
This Map of Vertues, in a Muse full Face;
Are but a blush of Bartas outward part.
The Pencil could no more: But his oxne Pen
Limns him, with-in, the Miracle of Men.
