To my most louing and highly valued friend, Mr. Nathaniell Tompkins.
To pay you (deere Nathaniell) with that GoldI once receaued of you, is but right,
Yours gaue mee glory; then your debter should
Giue you the same, with wearing, made more bright:
But (ah) I cannot, sith you still refine
Your Worthes, which, at the worst, farre passed mine.
