DAmn'd Envie is a sp'rite, that ever hauntsBeasts, mis-nam'd Men; Cowards, or Ignorants.But, onely such shee followes, whose deare WORTH(Maugre her malice) sets their glory forth.If this faire Overture, then, take not; ItIs Envie's spight (deare friend) in men of-wit;Or Feare, lest morsels, which our mouths possesse,Might fall from thence; or else, tis Sottishnesse.If either; (I hope neither) thee they raise;Thy * 1.1 Letters are as Letters in thy praise;Who, by their vice, improue (when they reprooue)Thy vertue; so, in hate, procure thee Loue.Then, On firme Worth: this Monument I frame;Scorning for any Smith to forge such fame.
