To my very worthy and honest friend Maister Robert Constable of Hingham, high Constable of the hundred of Forehow.

Epigram 121.

As pretious wares we see are often wrapt
In papers small, so fares it with me now,
Who in these leaues my dearest loue haue lapt
And sent it as a token vnto you,
Who of a Constable deserue to be,
A Iustice for your braine and honestie.
