Now hereof it erkith me lenger to wryte;

To Occupacyon I wyll agayne resorte,

Whiche redde[1857] on still, as it cam to her syght,

Of Louers testamentis and of there wanton wyllis,

And how Iollas louyd goodly Phillis;

Mille hominum species, et rerum discolor usus: Horace.[1859]

Diodorus Siculus of my translacyon

Out of fresshe Latine into owre Englysshe playne,
