To the Right Honourable, Henry, Earle of Holland, Baron of Kensington, Chancellor of the University of Cambridge
Heroick Sir, my Muse presenteth you
Ev'n with this counsell, which to say but true,
Nobly your worth doth practise; Reebrich Vines:
Reeching implies laborious high designes;
I oyne Rich thereto, not ayming at base drosse,
Chuse to Rech rich Vines , wherein is no losse.
Vines rich do many vertues tipifie,
Spreading, and branching to the heavens high.
Rather these Vines branches of Christ may be;
In whom dwels all grace; for a Vine is he:
Christ then select for yours, and you shall win
Hereby to Rech rich Vines , as you begin,
Etemising the grace you now are in.
