IESVS PAINTS THE IMAGES OF THE LAST things in the table of the hart.
The Hymne.
O rare Apelles; loe the frame,My hart; but first prepare the same,
Which is al slubbered 'ore with sinne,
Wipe al away, and then begin
To draw the shapes of vertue here
And make the foure last things appeare:
That no Chimeraes of the brayne,
Or Phantasies I may retayne.
Besides vouchsafe to draw some Saint,
Begin, sweet IESV, figure paint,
Whom I may imitate, and loue,
As did Narcissus. From aboue
Descend Apelles, thou diuine,
Come euery day and draw some line.
