THE Martiall Captaines ofte, do marche into the fielde, With Egles, or with Griphins fierce, or Dragons, in theire shields. But Phoebus sacred birde, let Poëttes moste commende. Who, as it were by skill deuine, with songe forshowes his ende. And as his tune delightes: for rareness of the same. So they with sweetenes of theire verse, shoulde winne a las tinge name. And as his colour white: Sincerenes doth declare. So Poëttes must bee cleane, and pure, and must of crime beware. For which respectes the Swanne, should in theire Ensigne stande, No forren fowle, and once suppos'de kinge of LIGVRIA Lande. Cura ducum fuerant olim, regumque poëtae, Praemiaque antiqui magna tulere chori. Sanctaque maiestas, & erat venerabile nomen Vatibus, & largae saepè dabantur opes. Ennius emeruit Calabris in montibus ortus, Contiguus poni Scipio magne tibi, Nunc ederae sine honore iacent: operataque doctis Cura vigil Musis, nomen inertis habet. Sed famam vigilare iuuat, quis nosset Homerum Ilias aeterum si latuisset opus. Ouid. Metam. 2. Nic. Reusnerus. Hunc volucrem Phoebo fertur sacrasse vetustas: Quod referat cantus, Delphice magne, tuos. Hor. de arte poët. Natura fieret laudabile carmen, an arte, Quaesitum est. ego nec studium sine diuite vena, Nec rude quid prosit video ingenium: alte- rius sic Altera poscit opem res, & coniurat amice. Ouid. 3. Art. amandi.
