To Cyriack Skinner

Cyriack, whose Grandsire on the Royal Bench

Of Brittish Themis, with no mean applause

Pronounc't and in his volumes taught our Lawes,

Which others at their Barr so often wrench:

To day deep thoughts resolve with me to drench

In mirth, that after no repenting drawes;

Let Euclid rest and Archimedes pause,

And what the Swede intend, and what the French.
