To the Facetious Epigrammatist, my louing Kinsman, Mr. Robert Hayman, who composed these quaint Quodlibets at Harbor-grace, in Newfound-Land.YOur modest lines begot in Harbor-Grace,Doe grace that Harbor in old Newfound-Land,Your witty lines the Muses doe imbrace.Pernassus Nymphes admiring, mutely stand,Seeing such sweet flowers from that barren soyle,As your neat Quodlibets which there did spring,To Owens Genius you haue giuen the foyle.By your sweet Epigrams, you there did sing.I would you had the grace with our great King;To doe there your desires: A greater thing.Your louing Kinsman, Richard Spicer.
