TO THE AUTHOR.
MORLEY! would any try whither MORe LYethIn our ENGLISH, to merit
Or in th'ITALIAN spirit
Who in regard of his each wit defieth?
Lo the cleare proofe then if a man would make it
(O would some one but try it)
To choose his Song, and Gold enough lay by it,
And say to thee; heere, better this and take it.
I know (how ere thou lik'st them) thou could'st doe it
Wert thou but so put to it.
For if thou sing'st thus when nought doth incite thee
Aware when PRAYSE and GOLD did both inuite thee.
Incerto.
