Motto.
Cease shepheard cease, reserue thy Muses store, Till after time shall teach thy Oaten reede, Aloft in ayre with Egles wings to sore, and sing in honor of some worthies deede, to serue Idea in some better steede.
She sees not shepheard, no she will not see, her rarest vertues blazond by thy quill, Nor knowes the effect the same hath wrought in thee, The very tuch and anuile of thy skill, and this is that which bodeth all thy ill.

Yet if her vertues glorie shall decay, Or if her beauties flower shall hap to fall, Or any cloud eclipse her sun-shine day, Then looke (Idea) in thy pastorall, And thou thy vertues vnto minde shalt call,
