VVhere art thou Muse that thou forgetst so long,
To speake of that which giues thee all thy might? Spendst thou thy furie on some worthlesse songe, Darkning thy powre to lend base subiects light. Returne forgetfull Muse, and straight redeeme, In gentle numbers time so idely spent, Sing to the eare that doth thy laies esteeme, And giues thy pen both skill and argument. Rise resty Muse, my loues sweet face suruay, If time haue any wrincle grauen there, If any, be a Satire to decay, And make times spoiles dispised euery where. Giue my loue fame faster then time wasts life, So thou preuenst his sieth, and crooked knife.
