To such a passe; that, what I wish to have,

I should grow impudent enough to Crave,

Had not impartiall Death, and wasting Time,

Of all my Friends quite worne away the Prime;

And, left mee none, to whom I dare present

The meanest suite without encouragement:

Although, the greatest Boone, I would implore,

Should cost them, but a Word, or little more.

Yet, some there are, no doubt, for whose respect

I might endeavour, with no vaine effect;
