To the Right Reuerend Father, Richard by the Prouidence of God, Bishop of Peterborough, F. S. wisheth increase of temporall and spirituall blessings.
Learned Mecœnas, fauorite of Muses,Renowned Patron, hater of abuses:
Who sitting in Religions golden Chaire,
Thou her, she thee adornes with vertues rare.
As Phœbe from her Phœbus borrowes light,
Wherwith againe she decketh him by night.
So likewise thou: She thee with swauity,
Thou gracest her with moderne grauitie.
Both I my selfe, and Muse will now assay,
Our tributorie debt to thee to pay.
By dutie bound, vnbound I can be neuer,
Vow'd to your Lordships seruice now and euer.
Your Lordships at commandment. FRANCIS SABIE.
