Somniorum Dea.
What louely Goddesse do mine eies behold?
That powers such plentie with her bounteous hand:
Her name is BRYSVS, whome the Greekes of old,
As Queene of dreames ador'd within their land:
Whome if they seru'd, devoutly as they should,
They made no doubt, of hauing what they would.

And well may BRYSVS, be a Goddesse thought,
So many who with fancies vaine deceiues:
Whome when she to fooles Paradice hath brought,
For golden Apples, scarce she giues them leaues:
To visions vaine, and dreames then take no heede,
Which had in Christ, their ending as you reade.
