M.r. M. D. TO THE AVTHOR.
SVch was old Orpheus cunning,That sencelesse things drew neere him,And heards of beasts to heare him,The stock, the stone, the Oxe, the Asse came running.MORLEY! but this enchauntingTo thee, to be the Musick-God is wanting.And yet thou needst not feare him;Draw thou the Shepherds still and Bonny-lasses,And enuie him not stocks, stones, Oxen, Asses.
