Classic Poem

To acute Mr. Iohn Marston

E PIG . 217.

Thy Male-content , or Male-contentednesse,
Hath made thee change thy Muse as some do gesse;
If Time mispent made her a Male-content ,
Thou needst not then her timely change repent
The end will shew it; meanewhile do but please
With vertuous paines as erst thou didst with ease:
 Thou shalt be prais'd, and kept from want and wo:
 So blest are crosses that do blesse vs so.
