Epig. 1 Ad anunculum suum Henricum Butler Armig.

If From the conquest thy antiquitie
I would deriue, when William gaue thy mot,
Or boast the Butlers true gentilitie,
My praises yet augment thy praise would not.
Nay praise would be dispraise thy name to blot,
Ne will I praise; or praise thy selfe alone,
Or good deedes praise, or praises looke for none.
