Poet Analysis

First Line: WRITING THYSELF, OR JUDGING OTHERS' WRIT
Last Line: OF THE BEST WRITER, AND JUDGE, SHOULD EMULATE.
Subject(s): RUDYERD, SIR BENJAMIN (1572-1658);
Writing thyself, or judging others' writ,
I know not which thou hast most, candour, or wit:
But both thou hast so, as who affects the state
Of the best writer, and judge, should emulate.
