Ad Eundem.

Thy conscience, knowledge, and thy pregnant wit,
Makes thee bee thought a counseller most fit:
Thy faithfull forward friendship to the towne,
Affords just cause to conquish thee renowne.
The care and loue which thereintill thou beares,
Makes all therein, that they thy worth admeeres:
Thou art most meete, a generall charge to haue,
Since thou can render justice where they craue:
And to bee briefe, my burden is too great,
To praise thy worth, and vertues most perfyte:
Who as in all things, so in learning thou,
Was first a Master, now a Dean I vow.
