On you th' Epitome of all, that bookes

Or e're tradition taught; who gives such praise

Unto your sex, that now even customes sayes

He hath a female soule, who ere hath writ

Volumes which learning comprehend, and wit.

Castara cries to me; Search out and find

The Mines of wisedome in her learned mind,

And trace her steps to honour; I aspire

Enough to worth, while I her worth admire.

To Castara,
Against opinion.
