Introduction.
DIvinest Herberts Soule,* 1.1 daign that I joyn
In Hymns accorded to the heart by thine,
Unto our Masters glory, and admit
Mee for a Rivall in thy heighth of love:
For though thy lofty flight bee farre above
My creeping Muse in spirit, verse, and wit;
My love both may, and ought, thy love exceed,
Since greatest pardons, greatest love doe breed.
Thus living, sing we, (Swan-like singing dye)
His Panegyrick, our own Elegie:
Others, I hope, will come and beare a part,
To hide my want of voyce, my want of Art.
