Pandora | ||
Antistrophe.
And Marbles (all be they so strong,)Cannot maintaine our renowmes long:
And neither they be but abuses,
To thinke that other thinges haue puissaunce,
To make for time any resistaunce,
Saue onelie the well singing Muses.
And the fayre Muses that prouide,
For the wise, an immortall name:
With Lawrell, by hearesay of Fame.
Nor euerie one that can rime,
Must not thinke to triumph on time.
For they giue not their Diuine furie,
To euerie doting troupe that comes.
Nor the touch of eu'rie ones thommes,
Is not of an eternall durie.
Pandora | ||
