THE Phoenix rare, with fethers freshe of hewe, ARABIAS righte, and sacred to the Sonne: Whome, other birdes with wonder seeme to vewe, Dothe liue vntill a thousande yeares bee ronne: Then makes a pile: which, when with Sonne it burnes, Shee flies therein, and so to ashes turnes. Whereof, behoulde, an other Phoenix rare, With speede dothe rise most beautifull and faire: And thoughe for truthe, this manie doe declare, Yet thereunto, I meane not for to sweare: Althoughe I knowe that Aucthors witnes true, What here I write, bothe of the oulde, and newe. Which when I wayed, the newe, and eke the oulde, I thought vppon your towne destroyed with fire: And did in minde, the newe NAMPWICHE behoulde, A spectacle for anie mans desire: Whose buildinges braue, where cinders weare but late, Did represente (me thought) the Phoenix fate. And as the oulde, was manie hundreth yeares, A towne of fame, before it felt that crosse: Euen so, (I hope) this WICHE, that nowe appeares, A Phoenix age shall laste, and knowe no losse: Which GOD vouchsafe, who make you thankfull, all: That see this rise, and sawe the other fall.
