And sprinckled with such sweet variety,

Of all that pleasant is to eare or eye,

That I nigh rauisht with rare thoughts delight,

My tedious trauell doe forget thereby;

And when I gin to feele decay of might,

It[398] strength to me supplies, and chears my dulled spright.

Such secret comfort, and such heauenly pleasures, ii

Ye sacred imps, that on Parnasso dwell,

And there the keeping haue of learnings threasures,

Which doe all worldly riches farre excell,
