ENDIMION.
If thou, by the wise Poets Card, or Starre,

His lesse heroique Neighbours, that gave place
To him; the last of that soone number'd Race.

ENDIMION.
Though Sidney was his Type, fulfill'd above
What he foretaught, of Valour, Bounty, Love:

Betray'd by Pitty then, to their defence,
Whose povertie was all their innocence:
