Social Commentaries
To Master Pestell of Packinton
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
Lo here her labours doth my Muse commend
To you, her Phoebus, and her choicest friend;
Whose knowledge, brightned with a beame divine,
Doth through the frowning clouds of envy shine,
Making its splendour (like that desert flame)
A guide to blisse, a columne to your fame.
