TO THE MOST HONORABLE, learned, and religious Gent. Mr. Anthony Bacone.

THE FVRIES.

Bound by thy Bounty, and mine own Desire,
To tender still new Tribute of my Zeal
To Thee, whose fauour did the first repeal
My proto-Bartas from Self-doomed Fire:
Hauing new tuned to du Bartas Lyre,
These tragick murmurs of his Fvries fell,
Which (with the Horrors of an Earthly Hell)
The Sin-curst life of wretched Mortals tire:
To whom, but Thee, should I present the same?
Sith, by the Breath of Thine incouragement,
My sacred-fury thou didst first inflame
To prosecute This sacred Argument.
Such as it is, accept it, as a signe
Of Thankfull Loue, from Him, whose all is Thine.
I. S.
