37. Of Edmond Spencer.
Our Spencer was a Prodigie of wit,Who hath the Fairy Queen so stately writ:
Yield Grecian Poets to his Nobler Style;
And ancient Rome submit unto our I'le.
You modern wits of all the four-fold earth (worth)
(Whom Princes have made Laureates for your
Give our great Spencer place, who hath out-song
Phœbus himself with all his Learned Throng.
