Sonnet (query by Milton?)

By JAS. CROSSLEY.

May I inquire from your correspondent whether he possesses the book, *A Collection of Recente and Witty Pieces by Several Eminente Hands*, London, 1628, from which this sonnet is stated to be extracted. The lines look suspiciously modern, and I should, before making any further observations upon them, be glad to be assured of their authenticity through the medium of your pages.
