The Metamorphosis of Tabacco
[by Sir John Beaumont]
Beaumont, John (1583-1627)
[section]
Ad mare riuuli.
IN LAVDEM AVTHORIS
[Graunt me smooth vtt'rance Muses to reherse]
[See how the chatt'ring throngs of Poets vaine]
[Whom Helicon, and Tempe doe adorne]
[If that the Bee, whose winter paines are rest]
[What my poore Muse can doe, she vowes it thine]
[Sometimes all man, that hath vs'd soule and breath]
To the white Reader.
[My new-borne Muse assaies her tender wing]
[I doe inuoke none but thy selfe to praise thee]
[The tender plant, which goodly fruit hath bore]
