Social Commentaries
To his well esteemed friend Mr. Maximilian Waad
From The Sculler (1612)
Social Commentaries
Wit, Learning, Honesty, and all good parts,
Hath so possest thy body, and thy minde,
That curteously thou stealst away mens harts,
Yet gainst thy theft theres neuer none repinde.
My heart, that is my greatest worldly pelfe,
Shall euer be for thee as for my selfe.
