Vita via.Well may mans life be likened to a way,Many be weary of their life they'll say.13. To Mr. Thomas May.Thou son of Mercury whose fluent tongueMade Lucan finish his Pharsalian song,Thy fame is equall, better is thy fate,Thou hast got Charles his love, he Nero's hate.14- To Mr. George Wythers.Th' hast whipp'd our vices shrewdly and we may,Think on thy scourge untill our dying-day:Th' hast given us a Remembrancer which shallOutlast the vices we are tax'd withall,Th'.hast made us both eternall, for our shameShall never Wyther, whilst thou hast a name.15. To Mr. Thomas Middleton.Facetious Middieton, thy witty MuseHath pleased all, that books or men peruse.If any thee dispise, he doth but show,Antipathy to wit, in daring so :Thy fam's above his malice, and 'twilbeDispraise enough for him, to censure thee.
