fauorite This he intreates for this his penne doth write Cease to command learne subiects to obay Reason where iustice rules beares greatest sway Is it not peerlesse praise with peace to gaine That for the which our fathers spent their blood And neuer age but ours could reobtaine O happy men if that you saw such good But will is masked still with errors hood Let ture obeisans vp this diet breake So Caesar wils so Cicero doth speake The fect was this the prophesie was such Which he had read with carefull industry And quoted euery line with iudgments touch A midst his study casting vp his eye Seeing his mistresse Fortune was not nye His booke he sleightly set into his gowne Which on the yellow sand fell quickly downe Thence posted he on his maiestique Asse Like some slow rider pacing to the race Than Isis siluer channell did I passe And thither went where as mine eyes might gaze On that faire booke clad in a golden case I past the Annales for it pleasde mine eye To muse vpon that sacred prophesie When I had read vnto the latter lyne I saw the aged king returne with speede Kind Syr quoth he saw you a booke of mine I Syr quoth I if this be he indeed I gaue it him he gaue me thankes for meed He posted thence I to my study went Where on this matter many houres I spent At last I was resolu'd for to relate In Poetry the things mine eyes did see Which was the vncertainety of humane state To paint the things a right with equitie I did implore the ayde of memorie Which she denide Oh worthies pardon mee If ought I write amisse which you shall see Not Orpheus trees and birds

with Romanes I compare Their warres their spoiles their fightes and victory Their filthy vices with their vertues rare Their laud dispraise their praise and infamy Their conquests triumphes with their treachery Then doth our muse declare intestine warres Kings conquering fields and Princes wounding iarres Then doth she mount the ayre with Eagles winges Then to the North shee goes and passeth Twidet And sings his praise which endles glory bringes Who like a Pilot doth this Island guide Which like a barke within the Sea doth ride This land is seated like to Venice state The waues the walles and euery ship a gate Least that my Gates be wider then my towne And that Diogines my folly see My proems prologue I le set quickly downe And bend my muse vnto the Prophesie Where you may reade art mixt
