To the most accomplisht Gentleman, Master Edward Norgate, Clark of the Signet to His Majesty. Epig.
From Hesperides (1648)
History & Politics
FOr one so rarely tun'd to fit all parts;
For one to whom espous'd are all the Arts;
Long have I sought for: but co'd never see
Them all concenter'd in one man, but Thee.
Thus, thou, that man art, whom the Fates conspir'd
To make but One (and that's thy selfe) admir'd.
