On the Continuation of Sir Philip
Sydney's ARCADIA;
By Mistress A. W.
LAy by your Needles, Ladies, take the Pen,The onely difference 'twixt you and Men.'Tis Tyrannie to keep your Sex in aw,And make Wit suffer by a Salick Law.Good Wine does need no Bush, pure Wit no Beard;Since all Souls equal are, let all be heard.That the great World might nere decay, the Main,What in this Coast is lost, in that doth gain:So when in Sydney's death Wit ebb'd in Men,It hath its Spring-tide in a Female Pen.A single Bough shall other Works approve,Thine shall be Crown'd with all DODONA's-Grove.
F. VAUGHAN.
