Festum Uoluptatis, Or the Banquet of Pleasure | ||
To his loving Friend, Mr. Bartholomew Wollocke.
No sooner doe I thinke on thee, but streightMy Muse growes frolique, and as if kind fate,
Had to thy Name, annext a power t'infuse
Life in the deadest, dullest, slowest Muse,
She then begins to revell it, and soare
A higher pitch then ere she flew before;
At least my thoughts suggest so, for I'm sure,
I finde my spirits nimbler, and more pure:
My Verse flowes ranker, and if this
May argue truth in ought, then so it is.
