Pagina xvi - To him that impt my fame with Clio's quill, Whose magick rais'd me from oblivion's den, That writ my storie on the Muses' hill, And with my actions dignifi'd his pen ; He that from Helicon sends many a rill, Whose nectared veines are drunke by thirstie men ; Crown'd be his stile with fame, his head with bayes, And none detract, but gratulate his praise.
Pagina 10 - And what a peece of justice did I shew On mistresse Shore, when (with a fained hate To unchast life) I forced her to goe Barefoote on pennance, with dejected state.
Pagina xvi - For me to fill, t' enforme this ignorant age, To that intent I shew my horrid face, Imprest with feare, and characters of rage : Nor wits, nor chronicles, could ere containe The hell-deepe reaches of my soundlesse braine.
