To Mr. James Sherley on his playes.

Mirrour of Comedies, and of our age,
That hast re-edified the falling Stage
And once more built the Theatre with thy pen,
In Spight of foes, hast made it live agen;
What can we render, thy Admired Playes,
Already have sequestered the Bayes
From of the head of those who writ before,
Which were but shadows to thy works, no more.
Who is not joyed when he seeth the fall,
And punnishment of vice, thy Cardinall
And taught by thy Imposture for to shun
Lascivious courses, or else be undone:
Thy Brothers teach us love; thy Sisters do;
In courtly tearms, shew us how to woe.
Or if we will be read in points of State,
Then thy Court Secret make us up compleat,
What shall we offer then, or what Present,
Wee'l add this Trophey to thy Monument
That ages yet to come shall hear and see,
VVhen dead, thy Works a living Elegie.
