And dictates to me slumbring, or inspires

Unsung; or to describe Races and Games,

Servd up in Hall with Sewers, and Seneshals;

That brought into this World a world of woe,

To sit indulgent, and with him partake

Easie my unpremeditated Verse:

Since first this Subject for Heroic Song [ 25 ]

Not that which justly gives Heroread.99csw.comic name [ 40 ]

Of Turnus for Lavinia disespousd,

In Battels feignd; the better fortitude

Nor skilld nor studious, higher Argument

Those Notes to Tragic; foul distrust, and breach

Thrice Fugitive about Troy Wall; or rage

Now alienated, distance and distaste,

Venial discourse unblamd: I now must change [ 5 read•99ｃsｗ•ｃｏm]

At Joust and Torneament; then marshald Feast

Bases and tinsel Trappings, gorgious Knights

Not less but more Heroic then the wrauth

NO more of talk where God or Angel Guest

Of my Celestial Patroness, who deignes

Of stern Achilles on his Foe pursud [ 15 ]

Rural repast, permitting him the while

Not sedulous by Naturｈｔｔps://reａd.9９ｃｓw•coｍe to indite

Or Neptuns ire or Junos, that so long

Deprest, and much they may, if all be mine,

Perplexd the Greek and Cythereas Son;

Or tilting Furniture, emblazond Shields,

The skill of Artifice or Office mean,

To Person or to Poem. Mee of these

Remaines, sufficient of it self to raise

Heroic deemd, chief maistrie to 九-九-藏-書dissect

That name, unless an age too late, or cold

With Man, as with his Friend, familiar usd

With long and tedious havoc fabld Knights [ 30 ]

If answerable style I can obtaine [ 20 ]

Of Patience and Heroic Martyrdom

Sinne and her shadow Death, and Miserie

Her nightly visitation unimplord,

Deaths Harbinger: Sad task, yet argument

C九九藏書limat, or Years damp my intended wing [ 45 ]

Warrs, hitherto the onely Argument

Not Hers who brings it nightly to my Ear.

And disobedience: On the part of Heavn

Disloyal on the part of Man, revolt,

Anger and just rebuke, and judgement givn, [ 10 ]

Pleasd me long choosing, and beginning late;

Impreses quaint, Caparisons and Steeds; [ 35 ]
