Classic Poem

Se here that stately Muse, that erst could raise,
In lasting numbers great Elizaes praise,
And dresse faire Vertue in so rich attire,
That even her Foes were forced to admire,
And court her Heavenly beauty, shee that taught
The Graces grace, and made the Vertues thought
More vertuous then before, is pleased here,
To slacke her serious flight, and feed your eare
With loves delightsome toyes; doe not refuse
These harmlesse sports; 't is learned Spencer's Muse;
But thinke his loosest Poëms worthier then
The serious follies of unskillfull men.
