To Sir F. W. presenting him Cowley's first Works
From Poetical Recreations (1688), Part I
Arts & Sciences
WHen vacant hours admit you to peruse,
The mighty Cowley's early Muse;
Behold it as a bud of wit, whose growth
O're-tops all that our Isle brought forth:
And may it still above all others grow,
Till equall'd, or out-done by you
