[Loe this is he whose infant Muse begann]

Loe this is he whose infant Muse begann
To braue the World before yeares stil'd him Man;
Though praise he sleight & scornes to make his Rymes
Begg fauors or opinion of the Tymes,
Yet few by good men haue bine more approu'd
None so vnseene, so generally lou'd

Sr. T. I.
