glories crescent to a circle grew Mounted to an height that envy cannot reach Whome fame is so desirous to honour that she borrows all mens mouths to joyn with her trumpet No Prince could pretend height nor beggar lownesse to bar him from the sound of his praises Whose name Is nursed by the fullest breasts of fame Long needy fame Doth even grow rich by sounding name Whose fame is writ with
