Upon the Works of Beaumont, and Fletcher.

How Angels (cloyster'd in our humane Cells)
Maintaine their parley, Beaumount-Fletcher tels;
Whose strange unimitable Intercourse
Transcends all Rules, and flyes beyond the force
Of the most forward soules; all must submit
Untill they reach these Mysteries of Wit.
The Intellectuall Language here's exprest,
Admir'd in better times, and dares the Test
Of Ours; for from Wit, Sweetnesse, Mirth, and Sence,
This Volume springs a new true Quintessence.
JO. PETTUS, Knight.
