I write to you Sir on this theame, because

Your soule is cleare, and you observe the lawes,

Of Poesie so justly, that I chuse

Yours onely the example to my muse.

And till my browner haire be mixt with gray

Without a blush, Ile tread the sportive way,

My Muse direct; A Poet youth may be,

But age doth dote without Philosophie.

To the World.
The Perfection of Love.
