Excerpt: ...so braue, so actiue, and so free, That such a one who would not wish to bee, Rather then weare a Crowne, by Armes though got, So fast a friend, so true a Patriot. In things concerning both the worlds so wise, Besides so liberall of his faculties, That where he would his industrie bestowe, He would haue done, e're one could think to doe. No more talke of the working of the Starres, 110 For plenty, scarcenesse, or for peace, or Warres: They are impostures, therefore get you hence With all your Planets, and their influence.

I meruail'd much the Derbian Nimphes were dumbe, Or of those Muses, what should be become, That of all those, the mountaines there among, Pg 117 10 Not one this while thy Epicediumsung; But so it is, when they of thee were reft, They all those hills, and all those Riuers left, And sullen growne, their former seates remoue, Both from cleare Darwin, and from siluer Doue, And for thy losse, they greeued are so sore, That they haue vow'd...
