To Phœbus.

O Phœbus! Euen the Swann from forth her wings,(Jumping her proyning-banck) thee sweetly sings,By bright Peneus, whirle-pit-making-streames.Thee, that thy Lute; mak'st sound so to thy Beames.Thee, first and last, the sweete-voic't singer, stillSings; for thy songs-all-songs-transcending skill.Thy Pleasure then; shall my song still supply:And so salutes thee, King of Poësie.
