The Poems of Thomas Pestell | ||
To the Same.
[Horace in poore estate, might Sing]
------ Sint Mecœnates etc.
Mart:
Horace in poore estate, might Sing
Some begging ode, some hungrie thing;
Sett himm with Bayes & Wine on fire
28
He raues, & ramp's, & madly flies,
In Cilnius face; at Cæsars eyes.
Where May-bright Queenes raine bounteous shower[s]
Rise high poëtick Iuly flowers:
My dull cold Februarie tune
Grac'd by an August, wou'd be Iune.
