HONI: SOIT: QVI: MAL: Y: PENSE   blazon or coat of arms  
TO THE No less Virtuous than Ingenious Mris MARY MORE; Upon Her Sending Sir Thomas More's PICTURE (OF HER OWN DRAWING) TO THE LONG GALLERY AT THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS In OXON.  
MADAM,  
YOur Benefaction has been such,  
That few can think it is a Woman's Touch:  
So to the Life was Issa drawn 
* Mart. Epigr. 110. Lib. I.  (the Bitch)  
That the Beholder doubted which was which.  
Seldom so Rare an Artist hath there been;  
Yet every Lady Knows to Draw Man In.  
Since then Your Pencil far exceeds our Pen,  
Let it be said I was the First of Men  
Could stop in Scribbling— Know we study Thrift,  
And fancy This a Richer New-Years-Gift.  
When One in Shadows, Tother deals in Rhyme,  
Painters and Poets should knock off in Time.  
Janus will knit both Brows too, if I trouble You  
Longer, or interrupt Him,  
Yours, R. W X bris 26. 1674.
