To the same Lord.

Mœcenas was to Maro of great fame
A singular good Lord and louing frend,
And Alexander did enioy that same
Rare wit of Homer, death though him did end:
And so the Uillanouas generous name
The Lusitan poore Authour doth defend,
Making a base and wanting wit t'aspire
Vnto the clouds, and yet a great deale higher.
