II. SONNET
The Muses nyne haue not reueald to meWhat sacred seedes are in their gardens sowne,
Nor how their Salust gaines the Laurer tre
Which throw thy toyle in Brittain groūd is grown;
But sith they se thy trauell treuly showne
In verteus skoole th' expyring tyme to spend,
So haue they to his hienes made it knowne,
Whose Princely power may dewly the defend.
Then yow that on the Holy mount depend
In christall ayr, and drinks the cleared spring
Of Poetrie, I do yow recommend
To the protection of this godly King,
VVho for his verteus and his gifts deuyne
Is only Monark of the Muses nyne.
FINIS.
