The Works of John Marston. Volume 3

by John Marston

Johannes Marstonius.

Ye ready friends, spare your unneedful bays:
This work despairful Envy must even praise.
Phœbus hath voiced it loud through echoing skies:
“Sejanus’ Fall shall force thy merit rise:”
For never English shall, or hath before
Spoke fuller graced. He could say much, not more.

[633] Prefixed to the 1605 4to. of Ben Jonson’s Sejanus.
