To my louing and beloued friend Mr. Bartholomew Gyffard.

You are a younger Brother: but, God shield
That I should make you so, were you a Child:

223

Not I will make you (as you are) a Man
Of that desert, as you both Will, and can
Teach yonger Brothers to be generous:
And liue like those that grace, not shame, their House.
