Thalia's Banquet | ||
To either Vniuersitie,
Epigram 56.
Indulgent Mother and kind Aunt no whereThroughout all Europe find I such a paire,
Of matchles Sisters, who (as it is sayd,
Of English beauties) all the world vpbraid
Of wonders selfe with loue and maiesty.
That Salamanca nor the Oliue vale,
The fam'd Conimbra in burn'd Portugale,
Appollo's garden by the bankes of Po,
Paris (our Harries sometimes) Liege nor Ley,
Do better heare in other landes, then yee.
From whose faire brestes those sacred Springs arise,
That turne our Ile into a Paradise.
From whose faire brests those milkey riuers runne,
That thousands feede, else thousandes were vndone.
Oh were it not that some are wean'd too young,
And some do suck (like Essex calues) too long!
