 | The Tragicomoedi of the vertuous Octauia |  |
Prosopopeia al libro.
When barking enuie saw thy birth,it straight contemnd the same:
And arm'd his tongue, to giue a charge,
thy weakenesse to diffame.
But seeing honors golden hooke,
so linckt to vertues lyne:
He fled away as halfe afraid,
yet ceast not to repine.
But feare not Momus, make returne,
and haply for thy paine
Thou maist Antonius coullors beare
when he reuiues againe.
