Epig. 41. An Apollogie to Sir Thomas Engham .
SIR,
Blame me not although I flag,My wings are wet, I needs must lag,
I tast ('tis true) the holy spring,
But then am forc'd Swan-like to sing
My own sad Fate, Swans should have faire
Weather to sing in; clogg'd with care
Who's he can clime Pernassus Hill?
I'me with my Fortune jarring still:
65
Lost to my singing, and discourse.
