In laudem Authoris, Et in fraudem derisoris.
THanks to thy paines: I speak it to thy praise,I ne'r read moe strong lines, spun in two daies,So many quoted Authors, mixt with witAnd judgement, in short space, I scarce view'd yet.Thy learned truth, the lying spirit hath shamed,Of a poore sneak, not worthy to be named:I put thee on this task; thou hast repeld them,In forty houres, thy night or dayes pains queld them.In truth I doe not flatter thee at all,Awalking Library, if I thee call.Its fit thy meritting worth should be rewarded,And thy strong active parts and pains regarded.If any Whale or Otter vent, the likeTo this, thy pen-spear, his fond head can strike.
