And thus I humbly take my leaue, vntill that I may present your Honour, with a matter more fitting the same. _Your Honors deuoted,_ R. D. * * * * * Anonymi elegia ad Lec- _torem_. Candide _Poliphilum_ narrantem somnia Lector auscultes, summo somnia missa polo, Non operam perdes, non hæc audisse pigebit, tam varijs mirum rebus abundat opus. Si grauis & tetricus contemnis erotica, rerum nosce precor seriem tam bene dispositam. Abnuis? ac saltem stylus & noua lingua novusq; sermo grauis, sophia, se rogat aspicias. Id quoq; sirenuis, geometrica cerne vetusta plurima milliacis disce referta notis. Hic sunt Pyramides, thermæ, ingentesq; Colossi, ac Obeliscorum forma vetusta patet. Hic diuersa basis fulget, variæque columnæ illarumq; arcus, Zophora, epistilia, Et capita atq; trabes, et cum quadrante coronæ symmetria, & quicquid tecta superba facit. |
