XXVIII. Upon Mr. Shirly's Gram. Anglo. Lat.

THe Child that would learn Latine very early,
Let him, at first, acquaintance get with Shirley.
He will allay the tediousnesse of School,
In sweetest Ʋerse composing every Rule.
Thanks learned Shirley for th' ingenious pains.
Thou shalt have place 'fore Farnaby and Danes.
This is so good, I prithee lets have all,
And hasten t'other part Poeticall.
We are in hope, that we shall quickly see't.
Because it runs upon such nimble Feet.
