To my worthy and honour'd Friend, MrGeorge Chapman, on his Tran∣slation of Hesiods Works, & Dayes.
WHose worke could this be▪ Chapman, to refineOlde Hesiods Ore, and giue it vs; but thine,Who hadst before wrought in rich Homers Mine?
What treasure hast thou brought vs! and what storeStill, still, dost thou arriue with, at our shore,To make thy honour, and our wealth the more!
If all the vulgar Tongues, that speake this day,Were askt of thy Discoueries; They must say,To the Greeke coast thine onely knew the way.
Such Passage hast thou found•• such Returnes made,As, now of all men, it is call'd thy Trade:And who make thither else, rob, or inuade.
Ben: Ionson.
