That is the highest head (in all mens sights)

Of my old father Mole, whom Shepheards quill

Renowmed hath with hymnes fit for a rurall skill.

And, were it not ill fitting for this file, xxxvii

To sing of hilles and woods, mongst warres and Knights,

I would abate the sternenesse of my stile,

Mongst these sterne stounds to mingle soft delights;

And tell how Arlo through Dianaes spights

(Beeing of old the best and fairest Hill

That was in all this holy-Islands hights)
