Demereits
Maro from proud Mars his throne
A freindlie look, or yit a thankfull sho?
Deserueth Naso from young Venus sone
A cheirfull smyll? (if they can haue no mo)
Yes faith: I pray then what should be thy hyre?
Who maks all men thir monarch gods admyre.
A freindlie look, or yit a thankfull sho?
Deserueth Naso from young Venus sone
A cheirfull smyll? (if they can haue no mo)
Yes faith: I pray then what should be thy hyre?
Who maks all men thir monarch gods admyre.
Has not thy Pen proclaim'd att lairge to all,
Sterne Mars his soldier great Penardo strong?
Has not thy layes learn'd how Laissa's thrall
To craftie loues allurments too too long?
Then both the warreours, & the wanton's theame
Should spare no pains, to æterneize thy name,
Sterne Mars his soldier great Penardo strong?
Has not thy layes learn'd how Laissa's thrall
To craftie loues allurments too too long?
Then both the warreours, & the wanton's theame
Should spare no pains, to æterneize thy name,
William. Tod,
