SONNET.
sig. Aiiijb
The Muses nyne haue not reueald to me
What sacred seedes are in their gardens sowne
Nor how their Salust gaines the Laurer tre
Which throw thy toyle in Brittain ground is grown
But sith they se thy trauell treuly showne
In verteus skoole th’expyring tyme to spend
So haue they to his hienes made it knowne
Whose Princely power may dewly the defend
Then yow that on the Holy mount depend
In christall ayr and drinks the cleared spring
Of Poetrie I do yow recommend
To the protection of this godly King
Who for his verteus and his gifts deuyne
Is only Monark of the Muses nyne.
