Epig. 35. Lodowick and Artesia.
Lord Lodowick with Artesia walking was,And hapning through a Galery to passe
Where many Antick Statues they espie,
Some on their feet, some on the ground to lie:
Artesia, whose bright eyes about did rove,
Espies Sylvanus nak'd, as in a Grove
With pendents hanging ore his privities,
(Which were carv'd out, of a most wonderous size)
Quoth then Artesia, (Lodowick) who is this,
That looks so gravely, and yet naked is?
60
One of the six Clerks he doth seem to be.
Why think you so said she? said he, look then,
And see his mighty Inkhorne, and his Pen.
