To Master Francis Pilkington, Batchelar of Musicke.

Art's praise, and Skill's high pitch, are not so tyed
To bankes of Po, or siluer Thames (we see)
But Ioues faire bird may haunt fine streames beside,
And chaunt sweet layes on brinkes of Antique dee.
Old Chester is not so with Eld ore-laine,
That where contention is for praise, shee then
Should not her old-borne title still maintaine,
And put in, for her claime to chiefe of Men.
Witnesse more Instances hereof, then cast
Into few lines can be (some larger Quill
Shall labour that) Witnesse thy first and last
Rare-fram'de composures. And this witnesse will
Thy choice for Patron: one for glorious fame,
Chiefe in our Clyme, Grace to thy worke, thy name.
Thine and the Muses friends of Chester, Henry Harpur.
