Let those that list invoke the Delphian name,

To light their verse, and quench their doting flame;

In Helicon it were high treason now,

Did any to a feign'd Minerva bow;

When You are present, whose chaste virtues stain

The vaunted glories of her maiden brain.

I would not flatter. May that diet feed

20Deform'd and vicious souls; they only need

Such physic, who, grown sick of their decays,

Are only cur'd with surfeits of false praise;
