Epig. 4. To the Lady Mary Nevell .
In Tables faire, our fading formes are painted,That what 'ith face would fade, in Them may dure;
To paint in Tables I am vnacquainted,
My Verse shall pourtray what power can procure,
That what Frames cannot, Verse may keepe vntainted,
Yet, none but rare Apelles that can do;
And, none but great Apollo this can show.
