To the worthy Author vpon these Epigrams.

Let me not whilst I praise an Epigram,
Deserue a Satyre: Let not me who am
As nice in praising as dispraisiug still,
Commend your worke as trading Poets will:
For then I might praise Bookes I neuer read,
Bookes sencelesse, at least not Interpreted,
And sweare I know them good. Thus many doe
Commend and yet maintaine, their credits too:
Which, my poore Innocence hath much admir'd,
Till I perceiu'd these Poets who are hir'd,
In all respects are Shop-keepers: And they
Grow Bankroupts, if forsworne but once a day:
So these in wit grow beggerly whose sloath
Hath nothing but a Wager, or an Oath
To proue their owne or other mens desert:

And did not my per-vsall now conuert
My Iudgement to consider what I praise:
I might (as they) approue, and many wayes
Recant hereafter: But I giue them leaue
To Write vpon me, when they shall perceiue
Such scorn'd Inconstancie; and if they please
To doo't in Epigrams, Let them first learne These.
Which if they can learne, they may truely boast,
They haue aduantage gotten with the most.
Io: Stephens.
