To his loving brother M. John Sherburn on his Translation of OVIDS Heroicall Epistles.

Wert thou like those whose works and selves; depend
For praise, on the fond largesse of some friend;
My verse might here a welcome room obtaine:
Which now perhaps, will name of flattery gaine.
Tis hard to write when praises may offend;
And such my fate were, should I here commend.

106

I am too neare. Yet know thy paines shall live;
What I cannot, others thy worke will give:
Thy worke which shall to after-times endure
'Gainst Sciolists, and Zoilists secure.

Ed. Sherburne.
