To the Author.
Of Hemp and wooll our country weauers make,Such kind of cloth as keeps vs whole and cleane,
This silken Weeuer subtler loomes gin take,
And seu'n weeks web hath warpt with finer beam,
His cloth discouereth vice,
adorning vertues lore,
Wherefore of greater price,
then Weauers heretofore.
Ed: Gurney. Gent.
