Two bookes of epigrammes, and epitaphs | ||
200. Of the Æthiopian Mountaine, Amara.
On this faire Mountaine, sphericall and high,Stands (as fame goes) a precious Library,
Where Livies whole worke, Enochs Oracles,
Salomons Physicks, and some mysteries else
That did survive the Flood, entreasur'd lye,
Insulting o're Times wastefull tyranny.
O could I thither reach! then should I stand
High in the Muses grace, and all command.
