furnish brides in such a case Besides if master Pasquin from his loue For once or twice should dain●… but to approue To dresse my meat alone yet in the end He would my seuere humour discommend And say if such particulars I hold I must prouide a Cooke of mine owne mould And truly were my wealth strong as my will Such counsaile I would earnestly fulfill Or if I had Francisco ste●…iars wealth No Prince should be more followd then my selfe But this great charge I can no way support My meanes doth yield my minde so little comfort Besides if to my Steward I should say What best these watrish humours doth alay That buy and buy what ere thou paiest the best Because such things my stomacke doth disgest If once or twice to please me he do frame Foure times at least he will forget the same Not daring sometimes buy them from this feare Lest I should it cause the price is deere Hence comes it oft I feed on bread alone Which breedes in me the chollicke and the stone Hence I liue priuate hence I am subiect much To choler and to euery peeuish tuch Fretting and fuming with such peeuishnesse That in my best friends I leaue doubtfulnesse Apollo thee I thanke it is thy will And you faire Muses of the learned hill I find that for your sakes I not possesse Apparell that will cloath my nakednesse But say my Lord doth as it is most true Each seuerall yeare make me apparell new Yet for your sakes that he performe the same T' is most vntrue or so to thinke a blame Himselfe auowes as much as well I may With reputation write what he doth say Yet am no neerer my cares to rehearse Sith he respects strawes better then my verse All creatures can commend sweet poesie But none respects the Poets pouertie That famous worke which I in painefull wise Compos'd to raise his glories to the skies He doth deny the merit of all fame Learning must beg but rich men are to blame To gallop vp and downe and post it hard My Lord auowes t' is he deserues reward Who keepes his banquet-house and banco sweet And like a Spaniell waits vpon his feet That nicely plaies the secret Chamberlaine And watches euery houre with great paine Or he that to his bottles cleanly lookes And cooles his ale or wine in running brookes Or else his Page that dares not close an eie Vntill the Bergamiskes industriously Beat on their anuils whose very sound Brings the poore sleepy boy into a swound To these he giues his great beneuolence And doth approue their worthes by recompence He saith if in my bookes he praised be T' is nothing or to him or vnto me And that it was the seede of Idle time Nourisht by vanitie and foolish rime And from my seruice he might more haue gained If I in other sort to him retained What if within the Millan chancery Vnder the shew of some authority He hath bestow'd not fully out a third Of that true gaine the place might well afford Vnto my labour yet what was done therein Was that my trauell might his profit bring And that mine endlesse trauell and my cares Might bring an end vnto his great affaires Well Virgil if thou wilt be worldly wise Let my too deare bought counsell thee aduise Thy h●…rp thy bookes thy verse with darknes shade And in thine old age learne some handy trade Or if thou hopest in this world to gaine Some office get or to some Prince retaine For worse plague I neare wish mine enemie Then to be famous for sweete Poetry Yet this be sure thy liberty is lost Vncertainty of place so deare doth cost Nor thinke although thou liuest vntill thy haire Like flakes of snowie Apenius appeare Or that thy Lord as many old daies haue As aged Nestor bore vnto his graue Thinke not I say that thou shalt euer come By him or by his meanes to hier Rome Or if once tired with seruitude thou please But to looke back or turne vnto thine ease Blest maist thou be if he vouchsafe to take But from thee what he gaue for vertues sake And so without more thought of iniury Send thee away with thred-bate charitie As for my selfe what euer he hath giuen If he back take and make my fortunes euen Because that Buda neither Agria I Would see or follow him in Hungarie Yet I mislike not force makes me content And shall doe since against me he is bent Although away those prosperous plumes he bring Which euen him selfe did fix vnto my wing Although he doe exclude me from all grace And will not smile on me with chearefull face Although he say I am disloiall proued Respectlesse base vnworthy to be loued And that his publique speeches doe declaime How much he hates my memorie and name Yet patience shall within my bosome sit And thinke that I was borne to suffer it This was the reason that I haue remoued My best obseruance since I was not loued Knowing it was effectles to approue To bring incensed greatnes back to loue Rogero if thy royall progeny From their disdaine blast me with obloquie And I from them haue nothing got altho Their worthy valours and braue deedes I shoe Spending my time and wit most studiously To raise them tombes vnto eternity Then what should I doe with them t is well knowne I am no falkconer all my arte is flowne From such light vanities I haue not the skill To make my spaniels noses please my will Nor was I euer brought vp to the same Or can there to my worst indeauors frame For I am big vnwieldy grose and fat And such strong motions gree not with my state I haue no curious taste or eie of fire To please the tongue or the vnchast desire Steward nor Cater to a noble man I was not borne to be I nothing can In those low offices It had beene good I then had liu'd when men eate homely food Gismundt accounts I will not on me take Nor vnto Rome an idle iourney make Posting with all my reasons to asswage The fiery heat of great Secundus rage But say my fortune at such ods should runne That needes by me such seruice must be done I feare me in the businesse would be found Dangers more great and able to confound Besides if such hard seruices must be And that men must attend with slauery As doth Arctophylax vpon the Beare He that desires to purchase gold so deere Let him enioy it freely for my selfe I will not at so high rate buy my wealth Before aduancement in such sort shall please I le only study how to gaine mine ease Rather then cares shall compasse me about And from my mind thrust contemplation out Which though my body it enrich not right Yet to my mind it addes such rare delight That it deserueth in
