"THEOPHILE, BEING DENI'D HIS ADDRESSES TO KING JAMES" by ANONYMOUS

First Line: IF JAMES THE KING OF WIT
Last Line: AND SO NOT TO BE SEEN

TURNED THE AFFRONT TO HIS OWN GLORY, IN THIS EPIGRAM
IF James the king of wit
To see me thought not fit,
Sure this the cause hath been,
That, ravish'd with my merit,
He thought I was all spirit,
And so not to be seen.
