Epigram 3 (If witt may make a Poet, as I ...)

If witt may make a Poet, as I gesse,
Heywood with auncient Poets may I compare.
But thou in word and deed hast made him lesse,
In his owne witt: hauing yet learning spare.
The goate doth hunt the grasse: the wolfe the goat.
The lyon hunts the wolfe, by proofe we see.
Heywood sang others downe, but thy sweete note
Dauis, hath sang him downe, and I would thee.
Then be not mou'de, nor count it such a sinn,
To will in thee what thou hast donn in him.
