GReat Master of the Sword and Pen •• poore weHang onely Trophies t'your humilitie;We but increase your traine, not gild your Bayes,Nor adde to th' shout of victory, your praiseWould weare a Caesars stile out; one that writesWith the same Art and Courage, that he fights.Mankind's your de••ter, Sir: and should each oneY'have sav'd a Garland bring, our Okes were gone;Duells may now be lawfull: for to fightWill be but Exercise, or Play in spight.Each man's impassable, more safe from harmeThan if he wore a Lapland Witches charme.And though our Lawes forbid it, yet y'have tookeA course to save the Dueller by's booke:Pallas now scornes her Gorgon, and ith' FieldSheele make your Booke her Study and her Shield.
