 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
To my most honest, louing, and well-deseruing friend, and Country-man, Mr. Iohn Gwillim.
VVhat I haue sedd of thee, and of thy Booke,Is extant; yet, I haue not thee forsooke
In loue, but whensoeuer Time doth serue
To giue thy Guifts their due, That our ile kerue
From Fames rich Stock: Then Guillim thou art hee
That Armes hast made (perforce) to honor thee:
But Armes, nor Force can honor thee so much
As thy good Heart, Integrities None-such.
