On the exact and elabourate story of Arcadius and Sepha, and the rest of the Beavy of the Lovers
What brave young Man is this, whose lute doth leadThe dancing Rocks, and teach the Woods to tread?
Is Thracian Orpheus reviv'd, whose laye
Hath now charm'd Hell, to get himself away?
(Son of the Arts and Heav'n) our hearts we fill,
With joy and zeal to gratulate thy skill;
What fitting tributes shall we bring thee now,
To crown thy merits, and adorn thy brow;
For since thy harp to follow Trees are grac'd,
Bayes of themselvs unto thy Brows maks haste
