TO THE MOST OPEN-HANDED, great-hearted, and truly noble-minded Knight, Sir Iohn Wentworth.
Magnifick Spirit, true Heros, glorious Knight,Bounties o'reflowing FOVNT to moist the dry

To thee I say but this, Were I (poore I)
The Hand of Fortune to dispose of Hers,
Thou shouldst haue all that place men with the Starres:
