I NOW DEDICATE WITH EQUAL AFFECTION REVERENCE AND REGRET A POEMA
INSCRIBED TO HIM WHILE YET ALIVE IN WORDS WHICH ARE NOW RETAINEDB
BECAUSE THEY WERE LAID BEFORE HIM AND TO WHICH RATHER THAN CANCELC
THEM I HAVE ADDED SUCH OTHERS AS WERE EVOKED BY THE NEWS OF HIS DEATHD
THAT THOUGH LOSING THE PLEASURE I MAY NOT LOSE THE HONOUR OF INSCRIBINGE
IN FRONT OF MY WORK THE HIGHEST OF CONTEMPORARY NAMESF
