Certaine ancient Greeke Epigrammes

Translated.

[All starres are drunke vp by the firie Sunne]

All starres are drunke vp by the firie Sunne;
And in so much a flame, lies shrunke the Moone::
Homers all-liu'd Name, all Names leaues in Death;
Whose splendor onely, Muses Bosomes breath.

Another.

[Heau'ns fires shall first fall darkn'd from his Sphere]

Heau'ns fires shall first fall darkn'd from his Sphere;
Graue Night, the light weed of the Day shall weare:
Fresh streames shall chace the Sea; tough Plowes shall teare
Her fishie bottomes: Men, in long date dead,
Shall rise, and liue; before Obliuion shed
Those still-greene leaues, that crowne great Homers head.

Another.

[The great Mæonides doth onely write]

The great Mæonides doth onely write;
And to him dictates, the great God of Light.

Another.

[Seuen kingdomes stroue, in which should swell the wombe]

Seuen kingdomes stroue, in which should swell the wombe
That bore great Homer; whom Fame freed from Tombe:
Argos, Chius, Pylos, Smyrna, Colophone;
The learn'd Athenian, and Vlyssean Throne.

Another.

[Art thou of Chius? No. Of Salamine?]

Art thou of Chius? No. Of Salamine?
As little. Was the Smyrnean Countrie thine?
Nor so. Which then? Was Cumas? Colophone?
Nor one, nor other. Art thou then of none,
That Fame proclames thee? None. Thy Reason call:
If I confesse of one, I anger all.
