| This new great lesson, thus to study yo:u [f. 54v] |
| Wch none, not reading others first could doe. |
| Nor lack I light to read this booke, though I |
| In a darke caue, yea in a graue doe lye. |
| For as your fellow Angells, so yo:u doe |
| Illustrate them, who come to study yo:u. |
| The first whom we in histories do finde |
| To haue profest all artes, was one borne blind; |
| *So though I am borne, without those eyes to live |
| Wch fortune, who hath none herself, doth give |
| Wch are fitt meanes to see bright courtes, & yo:u |
| Yett may I see yo:u thus, As now I doe, |
| I shall by yt all goodnes haue discernd |
| And though I burne my library, be learnd.| |

| All-changing vnchangd antient of daies |
| But do not wth a vile crowne of fraile baies
