To My Most Honest, Loving, and Wel-Deserving Friend and Country-Man Mr John Gwillim
To my most honest louing and wel-deseruing friend and country-man Mr Iohn Gwillim.
What I haue sedd of thee and of thy booke,
Is extant; yet I haue not thee forsooke
In loue, but whensoeuer time doth serue
To giue thy guifts their due, that out Ile kerue
From Fames rich stock: then Guillim thou art bee
That armes hast made (perforce) to honour thee;
But armes nor force can honour thee so much
As thy good heart, Integrities none such.
