Theophile being deny'd his addresses to King James, turned the Affront, to his own glory, in this Epigram.

Lineally Translated out of the FRENCH.

If James the King of wit
To see me thought not fit,
Sure this the cause hath been,
That ravish'd with my merit,
He thought I was all spirit,
And so not to be seen.
