In commendation of the Author, and his worke. To Himselfe.
Sonnet.
FRom that representation, which in this
Your mirror of the worth of others, is
Vnto our view exposed, doth reflect
The Image of your self, in an aspect
More semblable, then ever Looking-Glasse
Did shew the beauty of a Ladies face.
Then seeing that the picture of your merit,
Can by the pensil of no other spirit
Be drawn so to the life, for that these lines
Set forth your splendour, ev'n as your name shines
In their contexture, making you, and your
Poaems be either th'others portraiture,
It shall suffice me onely to avow,
That you renown the book, and the book you.
