To his Friend Mr. Thomas Rawlins, on his Play called the Rebellion.

I will not praise thee Friend, nor is it fit,
Least I be said to flatter what y'have writ.
For some will say, I writ to applaud thee,
That when I print thou maist doe so for me.
Faith they're deceiv'd, thou justly claim'st thy Bayes.
Vertue rewards her selfe; thy work's thy praise.
T. Iourdan.
