TO HIS FRIEND THE AUTHOUR of this Heroick Poem.
I Nothing finde unhappie in thy Book,But (what's not thine) the subject. When I look
Upon thy Muse, and finde it full of bloud,
Yet I conclude thy Vein is sound and good,
And shall live long by that which is not thine,
But lively represented in thy line.
That Hero's death thou dost with life declare,
And in that which thou giv'st thou'lt surely share.
R. Bulkley, Fellow of S. Johns Coll.
