TO MVSOPHILVS.
Beloved Friende, I kindlie doe commende
These lyfelesse Lieures to Thy louelie Lookes:
For if a Poët may be trowde, they're penn'd
By him who's Thine, but Shiftes, Deceites, or Crookes:
Who wisheth all thy Wishes, but respect
Of Friende or Foe, to take their full effect.

Who wisheth all thy Wishes, but respect
Of Friende or Foe, to take their full effect.
And when those Wishes full effects haue found,
And Thy faire Hopes, which fraught with Hazardes beene,
With Issues sweete, and true Contents are crown'd,
And Thou on top of Fortunes Wheele art seene,
Bee not lyke Her, vnconstant, wavering, blinde;
But to thy Friends (and honest Craig) bee kinde.
