THE MOTHER

OF

The Gods.

Mother of All; both Gods, and Men, Commend(O Muse) whose faire Forme did from Ioue descend;That doth with Cymball sounds, delight her life;And tremulous diuisions of the Fife.Loues dreadfull Lyons Rores; and Wolues hoarse Houles,Syluane Retreates; and Hills, whose hollow knoules,Raise repercussiue soundes about her eares.And so, may, Honour, euer crowne thy yeares,With All-else Goddesses; and euer beExalted in the Muses Harmonie.
