To Sir Thomas Southwell
Tablets of Gold, with richest Rubies set
Shine not so bright, as doth the Cabinet
Wherein your soule is lock't; a Palace fit
For such a noble courage, and a wit
Ever maist thou give Adders audience
Unto tame flatterie: nor let sence
With sugred baytes delude thy intellect:
But ever let some noble and direct
Thy good disignes: yea let them alwayes bee
Both correspondent to thy stemme, and thee.
