Classic Poem

Of Sosbius his getting unlike children.

S OSBIUS in getting sounes is more to seeke
Then money occupied, that gets the like.

To mine honorable friend Sr Richard Tracy Knight.

Sir , you haue match'd with her that was to me
What ioy could be in any mortall heart:
For her, and for yourselfe (sith one you be)
With those I best esteeme, you shall haue part
Of what I best esteeme; that is such praise
As they descrue that worthy wiues elect,
Which could not be, were you not many waies
Worthy; for likenesse still doth loue effect:
 Then loue her still for Honors sake, and I
 Will honor you for that eternally.
