To Mr. E. E. on his Book, &c.
Your Muse hath well Inspir'd you, since that sheHath made you, Sir, Clove-Tong'd in Poetrie;
For your Poetick Heat makes from your Quill
Water of Life, and Helicon Distill:
Your Muse was sure some Mer-maid, that could Tie
Two things so different in one Phantasie.
Your Pia Mater here her Twin doth bring
To th'Reader as her First-Fruit-Offering:
Hee'l like it; in your Cloven Quil Hee'll see
Parnassus, shown in an Epitome.
G. H.
