To M. S. B.

O Thou which to search out the secret parts Of the India, or rather Paradise Of knowledge, hast with courage and advise Lately launch'd into the vast Sea of Arts, Disdaine not in thy constant travailing To doe as other Voyagers, and make Some turnes into lesse Creekes, and wisely take Fresh water at the Heliconian spring; I sing not, Siren like, to tempt; for I Am harsh, nor as those Scismatiques with you, Which draw all wits of good hope to their crew; But seing in you bright sparkes of Poetry, I, though I brought no fuell, had desire With these Articulate blasts to blow the fire.
