Classic Poem

To my much esteemed Mr. Inego Jones, our English Zeuxis and Vitruuius.

I ONCE did sup with thee, deere Inego
 For nothing; then to me thou art not soe
Yet deere thou art to me for thy deere worth.
Which I by speaking picture would paint forth
If my small pen thy pencill equall could:
Then take not what I can but what I would;
 If not take this (as I began with thee)
 Though thou be deere, thou art not soe to me.
