ffayne wouldst thow know wherfore the godlast borne of Ioue his Thye,
Is winged on his hed, and whye
swifte Pegase standeth bye.

conioyned is to Bacchus,
The following verse, the springe and cause
therof shall here discusse.
When people with Amicla did
the grapes to Bacchus bringe,
She said, ‘faire Bacchus, I see winges
from out the hedd to springe;
Oh Bacchus, thow haste quivering winges,
and heares that crowned bee
with greene Ivye; let Gorgon horse
allwaies associate thee.
ffor Bacchus doth increase the blood,
and force to vs it lendes;
To melancholie harts, both mirth
and cooller freshe it sends.
It raiseth vpp dull mindes from Earth,
to enterprise great thinges;
It comforteth the weake sinnowes,
and strength to witt it bringes.
This doth the swifte Pegasine horse,
conioynd with Bacchus tell,
But yet to vse wine moderatelie,
for soe shall witt excell.’
