No.12.

⁠——wilt thou not haply saie
⁠Truth needs no collour with his collour fixt,
⁠Beautie no pensell, beauties truth to lay:
⁠But best is best, if neuer intermixt
Because he needs no praise, wilt thou be dumb?
Excuse not silence so, for’t lies in thee,
To make him much out-liue a gilded tombe:
⁠And to be praised of ages yet to be.
⁠Then do thy office ——
