To the Learned and Discreet Gent., George Calvert Esquire, One of the Clarkes of the Councell

To the learned and discreet Gent., George Caluert Esquire, one of the Clarkes of the Councell.

Yare now the greatest clarke, for your wise pen,
Which falsifies the prouerbe, which affirmes
The greatest clarkes are not the wisest men:
But with your place, your place your wit confirmes
And for thy wisedome, honesty, and arte.
Thy place though great, scarse answers thy desart.
