Epig. 1.

In silence Nile thy miracles conceale
Nor let great Babylon her cost reveale,
May the soft gloryes of Diana's fane
Sinck with the Cuckold-god that hornd Jove's name.
Nor let the Carian People boast so high
Their hanging Monuments twixt earth and sky.
Whiles Cæsar's single Piece confines alone
Fame and the world to one encomion.
