THE EPITOME, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: As in a cave
Last Line: And though abridg'd, yet in full greatness rear'd.
Alternate Author Name(s): Hall Of Durham, John


I

As in a cave,
Where darkness justles out the day,
But yet doth give
Some small admission to one feeble ray,
Some of all species do distinctly play,

II

Just even thou,
Whom wonder hath not fully clear'd,
Thyself dost show,
That in thy little chaos all's enspher'd,
And though abridg'd, yet in full greatness rear'd.
