 | The destrvction of Troy |  |
De Musis. Ep. 47.
Ye reuerend Poets, now but earth and clay,And ye the gloryes of this present age,
Vouchsafe mee leaue with due respect to say,
Ye seemd to flatter in your sacred rage,
Faining the Muses to be women, when
Reason approues them rather to be men;
Those Nine, in men are but a nine-fould skill,
Which for the head is the supreamest part
Doe there inhabit, as vpon a hill,
Well nam'd Parnassus, or the house of Art;
Ther's scant nine women wise; men nine times nine,
Then reason will, they should be masculine.
