To the Author his very good Friend, D. BARTEN HOLYDAY
RE••living Persius, daies birth, heir of fame;I wrong not Persius, giving thee his name;If any, I wrong thee, for what He didHad'st thou him not illustred, had beene hid.This being but thy Pedestall of prayse.Oh what a Pyramis will thy Next worke rayse?True Laureat, with blest O mens goe thou on;All-imitable, imitating none.I speake not this (nor need'st thou it) of Favour:But as one conscious of thy Great works labour.My tongue was never oy'ld i' th' base claw-art.In Others read thou Wit, in Me my Heart,
