Du Bartas | ||
In praise of the Translator.
If divine Bartas (from whose blessed BrainesSuch Works of grace, or gracefull works did stream)
Were so admir'd for Witt's celestiall Strain's
As made their Vertues Seat, the high'st Extream;
Then, Iosvah, the Sun of thy bright praise
Shall fixed stand in Arts faire Firmament
Till Dissolution date Times Nights, and Dayes,
Sith right thy Lines are made to Bartas Bent,
VVhose Compass circumscribes (in spacious VVords)
The Vniversall in particulars;
And thine the same, in other I earms, affords;
So, both your Tearms agree in friendly VVars:
If Thine be only His, and His be Thine,
They are (like God) eternall, sith Divine.
Iohn Davies of Hereford.
Du Bartas | ||
