Bright sparke of wit and courage, yet ynow
To set a worlde of hearts in Ioue, or fire:
Whose influence prouokes my Muses plow
To cast thy beames abroad that be intire
Thou all belou'd and highly-prizèd lemme
That in the Courts browes (like a diamond,
Or Hesperus in heauen) dost lighten them,
For men to see their way on Glories ground;
Of thy most honor'd nature, take in gree
This offer of my Muse to honor thee.
