Ivvenilia | ||
To Charles, Prince of Wales.
Epigram 4.
See here fair Off-spring of the Royall Stem,What all the world almost is subject to;
Behold it so, thou truely maist contemne,
And from thy heart abhorre what others do;
Now is the fit and onely time to season
That young rare-understanding breast of thine
With sacred precepts, good advice and reason.
But there's no doubt thou wilt to good incline:
Inheritance, great Prince, will make it thine,
And were Mans nature yet more prone to fall,
So to be born and taught would help it all.
Ivvenilia | ||
