 | The Royall Master |  |
On Mr. James Shirley's Royall Master.
Svch curious eyes as in a Poeme lookeFor the most part, doe finde the printed booke
With verses frontispic'd, to shew their wit
In praise of the authors which occasions it,
In neede of witnesses to prove them good.
This Poets skill is here so clearely showne
In offering light to his they dimme their owne,
For all that with unsquinted eyes shall see
This well limb'd peece of polish'd poesie,
In justice to themselves must needes confesse
Friends cannot adde, nor envie make it lesse.
Fra. Bvtler.
