The first Muse.
Now must I mourne for Gall, since he is gone,
And yee my Gabions help me him to mone;
And in your courses sorrow for his sake,
[1]
Whose matchlesse Muse immortall did you make.
Who now shall pen your praise, and make you known?
By whom now shall your vertues be forth-shown?
Who shall declare your worth? Is any able?
Who dar to meddle with Apelles table?
And yee my Gabions help me him to mone;
And in your courses sorrow for his sake,
[1]
Whose matchlesse Muse immortall did you make.
Who now shall pen your praise, and make you known?
By whom now shall your vertues be forth-shown?
Who shall declare your worth? Is any able?
Who dar to meddle with Apelles table?
