He sweetly touched, what I harshly hit,
Yet thus I glory in what I haue writ;
Sidney began (and if a wit so meane
May taste with him the dewes of Hippocrene)
I sung the Past'rall next; his Muse, my mouer:
And on the Plaines full many a pensiue louer
Shall sing vs to their loues, and praising be
My humble lines: the more, for praising thee.
Thus we shall liue with them, by Rocks, by Springs,
As well as Homer by the death of Kings.
