To my Friend the Author.

VVith admiration I behel'd This Whore
Adorn'd with Beauty, such as might restore
(If euer being as Thy Muse hath fam'd)
Her Giouanni, in his loue vnblam'd:
The ready Graces lent their willing ayd,
Pallas her selfe now playd the Chamber-maide
And help't to put her Dressings on: secure
Rest Thou, that Thy Name herein shall endure
To th'end of Age; and Annabella bee
Gloriously Faire, euen in her Infamie.
Thomas Ellice.
