[Like as a Riuer to the Ocean bounds]

Like as a Riuer to the Ocean bounds,
Or as a Garden to all Britaines grounds,
Or like a Candle to a flaming Linck
Or as a single Ace, vnto Sise Cinque,
So short am I of what Nick Wood hath done,
That hauing ended, I haue scarce begun:
For I haue written but a taste in this,
To shew my Readers where, and what he is.
FINIS.
