Epig. 33. Ben Johnson's due Encomium.

VVhen he, with Verse to's pipe appli'd did, sing,
The Rude Woods listned to his caroling,
Scillas Doggs bark'd not, the harmonious spheares
Tooke paines to plant their Soules into their eares,
More excellent then he, no age e're saw,
More sacred, wonderfull, (by Phæbus Law)
His Verse Divinely fram'd, deserves alone,
The thrice three Sisters Benediction.

His excellent Under-woods.
