To my dear Friend, Countryman and Condisciple, William Lithgow.

REst Noble Spirits in your Native soils, Whose high bred thoughts on dear bought sights are bent Renowned Lithgow by his brave attempt Hath eas••d your bodies of a world of toils.

Not like to some who wrongfully retain Gods rarest gifts, within themselves ingrost, But what thou hast attain'd with care and cost: Thou yields it gratis, to the world again.

Vpon the banks of wonder-breeding Clide, To these designes thy heart did first assent One way, indeed, to give thy self content, But more to satisfie a world beside.

Thy first attempt in excellence of worth, Beyond the reach of my conceit's confinde, But this thy second Pilgrimage of minde, Where all thy pains are to the world set forth; In Subject, Frame, in Method, Phrase, and Stile, May match the most unmatched in this Ile: ••••t this renowns thee most, t'have still possest, •• constant Heart, within a wandring Brest.

Robert Allen.
