To the Lady Mary Wroth.

EPIGR. 10.

MAdame, to call you best, or the most faire, The Vertu'st and the wisest in our daies: Is now not commendations worth a haire, For that's become to be each hus-wifes praise. There's no degree, below Superlatiue, VVill serue some soothing Epigrammatists: The Worst they praise, exceeds Comparatiue, And Best can get no more out of their fists. But, Arts sweet Louer; (vnto whom! know, There is no happie Muse this day remaines; That doth not for your Worth and bounty owe, Euen himselfe, his best and sweetest straines.) Vouchsafe, to let this booke your fauour finde, And as I heare haue Mans abuses showne, Ile with like iust, and vncorrupted minde, So make your true vnfained Vertues knowne, While others false praise, shall in one's mouth be, All shall commend you, in the high'st degree.
