To the Author.
The Poem which shall live, and oft be read,With foure faire Ornaments, is garnished.
It must describe to life, fitly compare,
Abound with Sentences, and Fictions rare:
All these are met in thine, and doe conspire,
To dresse thy Lines in durable attire.
Thy chosen Subject of a sacred straine,
Is Index of thy sanctified Braine,
Prophaner Muses vent your idle dreames,
While thine discourseth of diviner Theames.
It shall bee written on thy mournfull Herse,
Hee turn'd all sacred Story into Verse.
Ro. Willan.
