Great-little Ladies, greatly might you blameMy little care of doing as I ought,
Should I neglect to set your noble Name,
First of those Principalls whose hands I taught.
Yet, the more high your Birth and Places are,
The more ye ought to mind the blast of Breath:
As Philips Page did shew his Masters care,
When most he flourisht, most to thinke on death!
Then, with most blisle, when you transported be,
Looke on this Picture; so, perceiue ye shall,
We fall, like Leaues, in Autumne from the Tree,
When Heau'n puffes at Excesse in generall:
But from all woes excesse I wish ye may (way!
(Throgh Heau'n on Earth) to heau'n the easiest
Your Ladiships vnworthie Tutor, Iohn Dauies.
