To his noble friend, Captaine IOHN SMITH.
TO see bright honour sparkled all in gore,Would steele a spirit that ne're fought before:And that's the height of Fame, when our best bloud,Is nobly spilt in actions great and good:So thou hast taught the world to purchase Fame,Rearing thy story on a glorious frame,And such foundation doth thy merits make it,As all detractions rage shall never shake it;Thy actions crowne themselves, and thy owne pen,Gives them the best and truest Epiphonem.
BRIAN O ROVRKE.
