Mr. Waller to the Author, on his
foregoing Verses to the King.

AN early Plant, which such a Blossom bears,
And shows a Genius so beyond his Years,
A Judgment that cou’d make so fair a Choice,
So high a Subject to employ his Voice;
Still as it grows, how sweetly will he sing
The growing Greatness of our matchless King!
