Post ilium ecce Phoebi iubar clarum,
Animalium omnium fructuum florescentium
Nutritius almus, victor tenebrarum,
Qui mundo causa omnium est viuentium
Vitam per influentiam suam habentium,
Sine virtute cuius est necesse
Vt omnia pereant quae videmus esse.

As king royall he rode vppon a chare,
The w/fo'ch Phaeton sometime gided vnright;
The brightnes of his face, when it was bare,
None might behold for peircing of his sight;
This golden cart with firery1 beames bright
Foure yoked steedes full different of hew,
But bait or tireing, about the spheares drew.

Vt rex curruli sella est locatus,
Quam olim Phaeton perperam regebat;
Eius splendorem vultus cum nudatus
Nullius oculi acies sustinebat;
Hanc rhedam flammeis radijs quae lucebat
lugales quatuor diuersicolores
Per sphaeras rapiunt, ventis ocyores.

The first was sord, wzth mane as reed as rose,
Called Eoye into the orient;
The second steed to name, hight Ethiose,
Whitely & pale, & some deale ascendent;
The third Pirose, right hot, & eke feruent;
The fourth was blacke, called Phlegone,
Which rolleth Phoebus downe into the sea.
