THE MVSES

APOLLO.

The Muses Ioue, and Phœbus, now I sing;For from the farr-off-shooting Phœbus, springAll Poets, and Musitions; and from IoueTh'Ascents of Kings. The Man, the Muses loue,Felicitie blesses; Elocutions choiceIn Syrrup lay'ng, of sweetest breath, his voice.Haile (Seede of Ioue) my song, your honors, giue;And so, in Mine, shall yours, and others, liue.
