The Tragedy of the Dutchesse of Malfy/Commendatory verse 2

by William Rowley

To his friend M^r. John Webster
Upon his Dutchesse
of Malfy.

I Never saw thy Dutchesse, till the day,
That She was lively body'd in thy Play;
How'ere she answer'd her low-rated Love,
Her brothers anger, did so fatall proove,
Yet my opinion is, she might speake more;
But (never in her life) so well before.

Wil. Rowley.
