How I could rear the Muse on stately stage,
And teach her tread aloft in buskin fine,
With quaint Bellona in her equipage!
But ah! my courage cools ere it be warm:
Forthy content us in this humble shade,
Where no such troublous tides have us assay'd;
Here we our slender pipes may safely charm.
PIERS. And, when my goats shall have their bellies laid,
Cuddie shall have a kid to store his farm.
CUDDIE'S EMBLEME.[17]
Agitante calescimus illo, etc.
