On his great Duke of Florence; To Mr. PHILIP MASSINGER, my much esteemed friend.
ENjoy thy Lawrell! 'tis a noble choice,Not by the suffrages of voiceProcur'd; but by a conquest so atchiev'dAs that thou hast at full reliev'dAlmost neglected Poetrie; whose Bayes(Sullid by childish thirst of praise)Wither'd into a dulnesse of Despaire,Had not thy later labour (heireVnto a former industrie) made knowneThis Work, which thou may'st call thine owne,So rich in worth, that th'ignorant may grudgeTo finde true vertue is become their Iudge.
GEORGE DONNE.
