Classic Poem

In honour of the Author by Tho: Campion
Doctor in Physicke. To the Reader.
Though neither thou doost keepe the Keyes of State,
Nor yet the counsels (Reader) what of that?
Though th' art no Law-pronouncer mark't by fate,
Nor field-commander (Reader) what of that?
Blanch not this Booke; for if thou mind'st to be
Vertuous, and honest, it belongs to thee.
Here is the Scoole of Temperance , and Wit ,
Of Justice , and all formes that tend to it;
Here Fortitude doth teach to live and die,
Then, Reader, love this Booke, or rather buy.
