The Scourge of Folly | ||
To my truly-honest worthy friend, Iohn Barlow Esquire.
If Honesty, (true Honors playner name)May put thee in the Regester of Fame,
Then I, from thence, may take authority
There to enrole thee meritoriously.
205
Whose noble nature dignifies thy name:
Then should I wrong thee being my belou'd,
Should I not praise that which is so approud.
