To my louing and iuditious friend, Mr. Francis Wye.
VVre was the Nimphe neere which I first did breath,And Wye's the Man with whome I loue to liue:
The first, is apt to nourish life and death;
The last, but comforts sweete, to life doth giue;
Then, Wye, I pree thee runne with righter Course
To mee; then Wye doth wandring from her Sourse.
