Bright Starre of beauty, on whose Temples sit,
Appolloes wisdome, and Dame Pallas wit,
Thou shalt not Crowned be with vulgar Bayes,
Because for thee it is, Crowne too base:
The Birds, the Beasts, their Goddesse doe thee call.
Thou art their Keeper, Thou preseru'st them all:
O what faire garland, worthy is to fit,
Thy faire blest browes that compasse in all merrit?
Appolloes Tree can yeeld thee but small praise,
It is too stale a Vesture for that place.
Thy skill doth equall Pallas, not thy birth,
Shee to the Heauens yeelds Musicke. Thou to the Earth.
