Epig. 13 In D. D. Plaifer.
Was't heauenly Plato in whose mouth they sayThe Bees were wont their honie combs to lay;
From whose sweet lips so sweet a sound did flow,
As neuer Orpheus made in hell below?
Mellifluous Plaifer, so men call thy name,
And why Mellifluous but for Platoes fame?
Thy heauenly Musickes notes charming so well,
Can fetch mans soule faire Euridice from hell.
Since Orpheus Harp thou hast, & Platoes Bee,
Mellifluous Plaifer, fittest name for thee.
