To Mr R. W.

K INDLY I envy thy songs perfection

Built of all th'elements as our bodyes are:

That Litle of earth that is in it, is a faire

Delicious garden where all sweetes are sowne.

5In it is cherishing fyer which dryes in mee

Griefe which did drowne me: and halfe quench'd by it

Are satirique fyres which urg'd me to have writt

In skorne of all: for now I admyre thee.
