<OPENER><SALUTE>My LORD,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<L>_WHen Studies now are bla&s;ted, and the times</L>
<L>Place us in fal&s;e lights, and &s;ee Arts as Crimes,</L>
<L>When to heape knowledge is but thought to fil</L>
<L>The mind with more Advantage to doe ill:</L>
<L>When all your honoured Brothers choyce and &s;tore</L>
<L>Of Learn'd Remaines with &s;weat and charge fetchtore,</L>
<L>Are thought but u&s;ele&s;&s;e Peeces: and &s;ome tru&s;t</L>
<L>To &s;ee our Schooles mingled with Abby du&s;t.</L>
<L>That now you dare receive us, and profe&s;&s;e</L>
<L>Your &s;elfe our Patron, makes you come no le&s;&s;e,</L>
<L>Then a new Founder; whil&s;t wee all allow,</L>
<L>What was Defence before, is Building now.</L>
<L>And this you were re&s;erv'd for, &s;et a part</L>
<L>For times of hazard; as the Shield and Dart</L>
<L>Laid up in &s;tore to be extracted thence,</L>
<L>When &s;erious need &s;hall aske &s;ome try'd Defence;</L>
<L>And who more fit to manage the Gownes cau&s;e</L>
<L>Then you, who&s;e even life may dare the Lawes,</L>
<L>And the Law-makers too: in whom the Great</L>
<L>Is twi&s;ted with the Good as Light with Heat;</L>
<L>What though your &s;adder cares doe not profe&s;&s;e</L>
<L>To find the Circles &s;quaring, or to gue&s;&s;e</L>
<L>How many &s;ands within a grayne or two</L>
<L>Will fill the world, the&s;e &s;peculations doe</L>
<L>Steale man from man; You'r he that can &s;ugge&s;t</L>
<L>True Rules, and fa&s;hion manners to the be&s;t:</L>
<L>You can pre&s;erve our Charters from the wrongs</L>
<L>Of the untaught Towne, as farre as now the tongue</L>
<L>Doth from their under&s;tanding, You can give</L>
<L>Freedome to men, and make that freedome live;</L>
<L>And divert hate from the now hated Arts,</L>
<L>The&s;e are your great endowments, the&s;e your parts,</L>
<L>And 'tis our hone&s;t Boa&s;t, when this wee &s;can,</L>
<L>Wee give a Title, but receive a Man.</L>
