Living
To those Honoured, Noble, and right Vertuous Friends, my Visitants in the Marshalsey: And to all other my vnknowne Fauourers, who either priuately, or publikely wished me well in my imprisonment.
My Minde enamoured on faire Vertues light,
Transcends the limits of their bleared sight,
And plac'd aboue their Enuy doth contemne,
Nay, sit and laugh at, their disdaine, and them.
