Pleasant dialogues and dramma's | ||
Of Erasmus, pictured but from the girdle upwards.
2. Ingens ingentem, quem personat orbis, Erasmum,
Hæc tibi dimidium picta tabella refert, &c.
Hæc tibi dimidium picta tabella refert, &c.
This painted table to thy view,
But halfe Erasmus lends.
Of great Erasmus, whose loud fame
Through the great world extends,
But why not his whole portraiture?
Cease Reader to complaine,
He was so great that the vast earth
His fame cannot containe.
