To the Reader of the Authour,
and his Dutchesse of Malfy.

CRowne Him a Poet, whom nor Rome, nor Greece,
Transcend in all their's, for a Master-peece:
In which, Whiles words and matter change, and Men,
Act one another; Hee, from whose cleare Pen.
They All tooke life, To Memory hath lent
A lasting Fame, to raise his Monument.
