A Quatorzain, in the commendation of Master Thomas Watson, and of his Mistres, for whom he wrote this Booke of Passionat Sonnetes.

The starr's, which did at Petrarch's byrthday raigne,
Were fixt againe at thy natiuity,
Destening thee the Thuscan's poesie,
Who skald the skies in lofty Quatorzain,
The Muses gaue to thee thy fatall vaine,
The very same, that Petrarch had, whereby
Madonna Laures fame is growne so hy,
And that whereby his glory he did gaine.
Thou hast a Laure, whom well thou dost commend,
And to her praise thy passion songs do tend;
Yee both such praise deserue, as naught can smother;
In briefe with Petrarch and his Laure in grace
Thou and thy Dame be equall, saue percase
Thou passe the one, and she excell's the other.
G. Bucke.
