In Authorem Libri.
Nuper Adamsonus vicit splendore Triones,
  At nunc occiduum spissior umbra tegit.
Non tamen in caecas omnino evanuit auras,
  Liquerat en patrio lumina clara solo.
Perthigenasque suos secus hand intermicat ille,
  (Accendens radio nobiliore diom)
Ac Phoebe, reliquis praefulgens lucida stellis,
  Noctigenam pleno dum movet orbe facem.

Ad Pertham.
QVid fles? Quid tristi rumpis praecordia luctu?
  Pone modum lachrymis, inclyta Pertha, tuis.
Occiderat tuus (heu) fato Adamsonus iniquo:
  Non tamen interiit: sed redivivus adest.

To the memorie of the Author.
Dear Soul, thou hast obtain'd more lasting Fame,
In follies collours wisedome setting forth,
Than if ten fabriks like Mausolios frame
Were for thee rear'd in witnesse of thy worth.

Thy Perth may boast of such a gratefull son,
Who thus hath honoured his deare aged another,
Thy Muse such glorie and such fame hath won
To her, as no oblivioun can it smother.
