Of Iohannes Secundus an excellent Poet of the Hage in Holland.
6. Excelsum seu condis opus magnique Maronis,
luminibus offerre studes, &c.
luminibus offerre studes, &c.
If an high worke thou undertak'st; to rise
In Virgils straine, and looke out with his eyes;
Or if light Elegies art pleas'd to sing,
Such as from Ovids veyne were knowne to spring;
If to the ly'r of Pindarus thou fit
Thy various notes, to make him blush at it;
If thou make Belbulus his browes contort,
To see how he in Epigrams can sport;
These foure thou shalt excell: even thou alone
Secundus, who art second unto none.
