Davies of Hereford, John (1565 - 1618)

To Our English Terence, Mr. Will. Shake-speare:

Some say good Will (which I in sport do sing)
Had'st thou not plaid some Kingly parts in sport,
Thou had'st bin a companion for a King;
And beene a King among the meaner sort.
Some others raile; but, raile as they think fit,
Thou hast no rayling, but a raigning Wit;
And honesty thou sow'st which they do reape;
So, to increase their Stocke which they do keepe.
