To his respected Friend, the Author.

Could I but reach Bayes from Apollo’s Tree,

I’d make a Wreath to Crown thy Work and Thee;

Which yet is needless, now I think upon’t;

Thy own great Pen deservedly hath don’t.

Of all who write of Thee, this is my Vogue,

None ere writ better of, and is less Rogue.
