 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
To mine approued deere friend Mr. Peregrine Browne.
Thy Nature with thy Name doth one appeare:For, as thou wert a Stranger to this life,
Thou carst for nought the World esteemeth deere.
What car'st for then? thy God, thy Soule, thy Wife.
Nay, something els thou carst for: thats for mee,
VVhich well I proue: Then, thus I honor thee:
Thy most true loue to skill and skills deuine,
Still makes thee in my heart a Peregrine.
