Flosculum Poeticum | ||
On the death of a hopeful young Boy.
Within this little Box doth lyRipe wisdome, yet in Infancy.
Like Homer's Iliads in a Nut,
Full four score and ten here are shut
In single five, a Childe, whose years
Are written down in Characters.
Then Reader gaze not, but behold
This young old Childe, as Esay told.
