"Ships lately from the islands came,
With wines, thou never heard'st their name.
Montefiasco, Frontiniac,

Vernaccio, and that old sack

Young Herric took to entertaine

The muses in a sprightly vein."

To Parson Weeks, an Invitation to London
Musarum Delicia, 1656.

And then Flaccus Horace,

He was but a sowr-ass,

And good for nothing but Lyricks;

There's but One to be found

In all English ground

Writes as well;-who is hight Robert Herick.

Naps upon Parnassus, 1658, Sign. A 3 verso.
