The Crowne of All Homers Workes/Against the Samian Ministresse or Nvnne

by Homer

 

AGAINST
THE SAMIAN MINISTRESSE
OR NVNNE.

 

eare Me (O goddesse) that inuoke thine eare:
Thou that dost feede, and forme the youthfull Yeare.
And grant that this Dame, may the loues refuse
And Beds of Young Men; and affect to vse
Humanes whose Temples, hoary hayres distaine;
Whose Powrs are passing coye; whose Wils would faine.
