Have link'd that amourous power to thy soft lay,
Now timely sing, ere the rude bird of hate
Foretell my hopeless doom in some grove nigh:
As thou from year to year hast sung too late
For my relief, yet hadst no reason why:

Whether the Muse, or Love, call thee his mate,
Both them I serve, and of their train am I.

Lug Hares mulla tibi Warwici villa, tenebris,
Ante tuas Cunas, obsita Prima fuit.
Arma, Viras, Veneres, Patriam modulamine dixti;
Jo Patrice resonant Arma, Viri, Veneres.

Michael Drayton
