To mine approued kinde friend and scholler, Humfrey Boughton Esquire, one of his Maiesties gent Pensioners

E PIG . 276.

H VMFREY thou hast my heart, for well I wot
Thou lou'st me well, sith ill I taught thee not
But there are some (which yet I tender still)
Haue taught me now to know I taught them ill
Ill paide, with ill? I ill apaide must bee;
Would I had taught them better, or they mee
But noble Humfrey thy braue spirit doth learne
My Muse (by thine example) to discerne
Twixt man and man: and sith a man I finde thee,
I were a beast with braue men not to minde thee.
