Motto.

MIght my youths mirth delight thy aged yeeres,
My gentle shepheard father of vs all,
Wherewith I why lome Ioy'd my louely feeres,
Chanting sweete straines of heauenly pastorall.

Now would I tune my miskins on this Greene,
And frame my muse those vertues to vnfold,
Of that sole Phenix Bird, my liues sole Queene:
Whose locks done staine, the three times burnisht gold.

But melancholie grafted in thy Braine,
My Rimes seeme harsh, to thy vnrelisht taste,
Thy droughthy wits, not long refresht with raigne,
Parched with heat, done wither now and waste.
