The Crowne of All Homers Workes/To Ceres

From Wikisource

To Ceres.

The Rich-hayr'd, Ceres, I assaie to sing;A Goddesse, in whose Grace the naturall springOf serious Maiestie it selfe, is seene:And of the wedded, yet in grace stil green,(Proserpina, her Daughter) that displaiesA Beautie, casting euery way her Raies.All Honor to thee (Goddesse:) keepe this Towne;And take, thou, chiefe charge of my songs Renoune.
