To the right worshipfull and my euer respected, Mr. IOHN MORAY Esquire

Of all the wonders this vile world includes,
I muse how such high fauors gaine!
How adulation cunningly deludes
Both high and lowe, from Scepter to the Swayne:
But yet if thou by flattry couldst obtaine
More then the most that is possest by men,
Thou canst not tune thy tongue to falshoods straine,
Yet with the best canst vse both tongue and pen.
Thy sacred learning can both scan and ken
The hidden things of Nature, and of Art,
Tis thou hast raisd me from obliuions den,
And made my Muse from obscure sleepe to start.
Vnto thy wisdomes censure I commit,
This first borne issue of my worthles wit.
