To most ingenious Mr. Francis Beamont.
Some, that thy Name abreuiate, call thee Franck:So may they well, if they respect thy Witt:
For, like rich Corne (that some fooles call too ranck)
All cleane Witt-reapers still are griping it:
And, could I sow for thee to reape and vse,
I should esteeme it Manna for the Muse.
