To the Kings most excellent Maiestie
From The Nipping and Snipping of Abuses (1614)
Social Commentaries
Great Soueraigne as thy sacred Royall breast
Is by the Muses whole and sole possest:
So doe I know, Rich, precious, peerelesse Iem,
In witting vnto thee, I write to them.
The Muses tarry at thy name, why so?
Because they haue no further for to goe.
