Or thus you may English it, in the transcending prayse of the Authour and his Booke.
Till Phœbus blustring blasts shall cease to blow,And Æolus shall hide his radiant Rayes
Till Vulcans Forge be fram'd of Scithian Snow,
And Neptune like a Shepheard spend his dayes;
When Saturne shall sell Mouse traps and allow
Mars to sing Madrigals, and round delayes:
Then shall thy Book and thee be out of Date,
And scorn the envy of consuming Fate.
To your Worthinesse in all observance Devoted, John
Defislie Cankie of Sallamanca in Andalusia.
