We credit most our sight; one eye doth please
Our trust far more than ten ear-witnesses.

This, that, and every base impression.

906. TO A FRIEND.
Look in my book, and herein see
Life endless signed to thee and me.
We o'er the tombs and fates shall fly;
While other generations die.

907. UPON M. WILLIAM LAWES, THE RARE MUSICIAN.
Should I not put on blacks, when each one here
Comes with his cypress and devotes a tear?
Should I not grieve, my Lawes, when every lute,
Viol, and voice is by thy loss struck mute?
Thy loss, brave man! whose numbers have been hurl'd,
And no less prais'd than spread throughout the world.

Should I not grieve, my Lawes, when every lute,

And no less prais'd than spread throughout the world.
