Philomythie or Philomythologie | ||
This tale makes all apparant, or at least,
Makes probable, what some haue thought a ieast.
Within a Churchyard once a Dyall stood
Vpon a square hewne Marble, which the Flood
In vaine with enuious waues had often sought
To spoile, when it the whole world vnder brought.
But Seth's wise sonnes had fastned it so sure,
It could all stormes, and stresse of times endure.
And thereon they had caru'd the Art, and lore
They learned of their Grandsire long before.
