And sharpest censure of the best engyn's.

Nor can thy choise be better'd, who propynes

Th' industrious labor's of thy painefull quill

To one who is, and was, and shalbe still

That Phœbe, who in fulnesse euer shin's.

She shalbe great Protectrice of thy paines,

And she will weigh this worke at no small rate;

I know hir high Heroike heart disdain's

To show it selfe forgetfull or ingrate:

Els she should wrong that race from whence she spring's
