TO THE MOONE.
And, out of that State, Mortall Men implie
Many Prædictions. And, with Her then
(In Loue mixt) lay, the King of Gods and Men;
By whom, (made fruitfull) she Pandæa bore,
And added her State, to th'immortall Store.
Haile, queene, & Goddesse, th'iuorie-wristed Moone
Diuine, Prompt; faire-hayr'd. With thy grace begun
My Muse shall forth, and celebrate the praise
Of Men whose states, the Deities did raise
To Semideities: whose deedes t'endlesse Date
Muse-lou'd, and sweete-sung Poets celebrate.
