Epigr.
VVHat praise may my impartiall pen expresse,And yet thy worth not to the full confesse?Nor need I urge, to make my matter fine,False flourishings, nor can I reach the lineOf thy profound approved prudence, neither;Who searches first, then kils the sinners; ratherThen thou wilt not, shine liker Caesar, andThough thou be young, gain honour to that Land,From whence thou cam'st, and for thy worth who chus'd thee,To send thee here; and for thy faith have us'd thee:In state affairs, search and kill sinners; thenShine liker Caesar, more then other men.
