Whose artful strains have oft delaid
The huddling brook to hear his madrigal,
And sweeten'd every
muskrose
of the dale,
How cam'st thou here good Swain?

Like the earlier school drama on the same subject, acted before
Wolsey in 1532", it is not extant; but the contemporary narrative
of
Nicholas
Robinson describes it as novum opus sed venustum et
elegans, though considered too long by some carping spectators.

Universal Anthology - v02 |

She always keeps asking if I don't observe a
Particular likeness 'twixt her and Minerva; 1160
She tells me my efforts in verse are quite clever;--
She's been travelling now, and will be worse than ever;
One would think, though, a sharp-sighted noter she'd be
Of all that's worth mentioning over the sea,
For a woman must surely see well, if she try,
The whole of whose being's a capital I:
She will take an old notion, and make it her own,
By saying it o'er in her Sibylline tone,
Or persuade you 'tis something
tremendously
deep,
By repeating it so as to put you to sleep; 1170
And she well may defy any mortal to see through it,
When once she has mixed up her infinite _me_ through it.

Within another ring,
And was wondering if the man had done
A great or little thing,
When a voice behind me
whispered
low,
"That fellow's got to swing.
