Of a faire gilt Bowle sent unto him from Benedict Accoltus Cardinall.

Hanc pateram Chio spumantem auroque nitentem
Accoltus vati donat habere suo, &c.

This golden Cup swelling with Chios juyce,
Given by Accoltus to his Poets use,
Part of this wine Bacchus to thee I send,
And part to thee Apollo, I commend.
Now Muses take the Cup, and it brim-fill
With Nectar, which may to my braine distill,
That worthy thankes I may Accoltus give,
In such high verse as may for ever live.
