Excerpt
Excerpt: ? If that exact Appelles now did live. And would a picture of Elizium give; He might pourtrai' of the prospect which this Hill Doth shew; & make the eie command at will. Heer's many a shire whose pleasauntness for fight Doth yield to the Spectators great delight. Ther's a large Field guilded with ceres gold; Here a green mead doth many Heifers hold; Ther's pasture growne with virdant grass, whose store, Of Argent-sheep shewes th'owner is not poore. Here springs doe intricate Meanders make Excelling farr Oblivion's Lethe Lake. There woods and Coppisses harbour as many And sweet melodious Choristers, as any Elizium yields; whose Philomel' an lazes Merit the highest of the Lyrick's praise Heer's Flora deck't with robes of Or, and Azur, Fragrently smelling yield's two senses pleasure.
