To the Accomplish'd, and his Ingenious Friend, Mr. Matthew Stevenson, On His Facetious Poems.
Tell me no more of Lawreated Ben.,Shakesphear, and Fletcher, once the wiser men.
Their Acts ('tis true) were Sublime! yet I see
They'r all Revisedly compos'd in Thee.
Here the swoln Critick, Ideot, and Huff,
Shall bite their Fingers, swear they have enough:
Whilst that the Learned and Sagacious Wit,
Shall speak thy worth, 'tis excellent well writ,
So that thy Poems, justly stiled, runs,
Not defunct Johns, but living Stevensons.
Arth. Tichborne.
