To Dr. F. Deane of Ch. Ch. now Vicechancellour of Oxford, upon the Same occasion.

Not that I begge degree, as understood,
To bring a Trifle and receive a Hood.
I nere expect a Harvest from one seed,
Or a faire Sheafe where I but plant a weede.

81

Yet sure I might begge titles onely lent
To obey in state, submit in Ornament.
The ambition's lawfull here, since 'tis your praise,
If all your flowers are Roses, all Trees Bayes.
Thus you may seat him high in his faign'd Queens view,
High as her selfe, and yet both kneele to you,
Be't then your honour onely to have found,
How to make Princes Subjects, and bow crown'd.
