[Two hopeful twinnes ioynt issues of one braine]
Two hopeful twinnes ioynt issues of one braineA Rauisht Soule and Longing Spirit sends
Into your bosome's high and heauenly traine,
That are Witte's kinsemen and the Muses friends:
Embrace them, loue them, and with iudgement's view
Eye them. Beleeue me, Reader, thou shalt finde
Their limmes well measur'd and proportions true;
No part dissenting from their perfect kinde.
Onely the fashion sits not on their clothes
To make them sightly to fantasticke eyes.
Pallas not Venus did the work dispose,
Cutting their garments from angellick skies:
Plaine is their habite yet diuine and sweete,
Fit for the wise but for the wisest meete.
H. T. Gent.
