Epig. 29. To his Muse in (reference to his Faerie King.

By thee faire Muse, when violent hands have made
England a Den of Dragons, a darke shade

136

Where shag-hayrd Satyres Daunce, when Kingdomes are
Quite overturn'd, and frie in flames of Warre,
I shall command the Earth, and to the skie,
Above the Earth, borne on Fames Wings shall flie.
