Subject(s): Browne, William (1591-1645)
WERE all men's envies fix'd in one man's looks,
That monster that would prey on safest Fame,
Durst not once check at thine, nor at thy name:
So he who men can read as well as books
Attest thy lines; thus tried, they show to us
As Scæva's shield, thyself Emeritus.
