Whose name and matchlesse fame for to declare,
In this most dolefull dittey, must I spare:
Yet thus dar say, that in the World again
No place more meet for Muses to remain;
For shadowing walks, where silver brooks do spring,
And smelling arbors, where birds sweetly sing,
In heavenly Musick warbling like Arion ,
Like Thracian Orpheus , Linus , or Amphion ,
That Helicon , Parnassus , Pindus fair
To these most pleasant banks scarce can compare.
