To Chalcis there I made by Sea my passe;
And to the Games of great Amphidamas;
Where many a fore-studied Exercise
Was instituted with excitefull prise
For great-and-good, and able-minded Men;
And where I wonne, at the Pierian Pen,
A three-ear’d Tripod, which I offer’d on
The Altars of the Maids of Helicon.
Where first their loues initiated me
In skill of their unworldly Harmony.
