Epigram to Sir Philip Sidney, in Elegiacal Verse, An. Translated Out of Jodelle, the French Poet
TRANSLATED OUT OF JODELLE, THE FRENCH POET .
Cambridge, worthy Philip, by this verse builds thee an altar,
'Gainst time and tempest, strong to abide for ever;
That praise of verses no length of time can abolish,
Which Greece and Italy purchased endless honour.
I then pursuing their steps, like glory to purchase,
Will make thy memory famous in after-ages;
And in these measured verses thy glory be sounded,
So be thy holy favour, help to my holy fury.
