Why then comes she not now to Apollo's Court at this solemn assembly, to lay in her claim for it? Siren tells me, she had done so, but that she knew not of the set day, and now resideth in one of the fortunate Islands in the Atlantic sea far oft from Thessaly. And besides all this, she is invited to a feast of four or five gods by Mercury into Ethiopia. Such draff of silens by thy feast. For the cause of her absence I pass not much But I'm sure she's learned, and deeply read. That she shows by the reasons and Authorities heaped in her letter. What slout reasons? What authorities? even those which we read and admire in Apollo's school. What say you to Tully, Plutarch, Aristotle, Seneca, Socrates, Horace, &c. I am sure these afford impenetrable armor against the assaults of Hedone. And now are they brought on the other side against their wills? read but this line here in the bottom of the second page. Attend what your 〈◊〉 Tully saith, Dandu● aliquid atate. Non semper ●ncat ratio, &c. This time and place s●s not to examine these particulars. Come let's to the laurel Grove. There will we gauge to the bottom this farthel of false wares. ONe tells me I must study next my heart. That troubles my brain too much. Another tells me 'tis good to eat bread and butter next my heart. That fumes fumes into my head too much. And to say the truth, my stomach is not yet up. For I'm but new up myself, and I hope that will not be so saucy as to tread on his Master's heels. But I say still, 'tis best playing next ones heart. That is to me both study and breakfast. Once again cross and pile, handy dandy, which hand will you have? O for some Companions. O for some good play fellows! Gingle he's grown so proud, he tells me he's not for boys play now. And Slug I could not get him up. I bounced with my bag of counters against his door. And he answered me nothing but whough, pugh: He outsnorts nine horses, and outsleeps ten dormice. I will go find out Novice. he's a young fat gosling to pull. WHen we had signified to our Lord Apollo our publishing of his Mandates, he was pleased to say that there was never more need of warning a Court, than now, that abuses and usurpations have crept into his dominions. And therefore he charged us that this inquiry should be more strict than heretofore. But look you now. There is one of the worms and caterpillars of our harvest. I know her, though I never saw her before. By her fawning gesture and enchanting wand, she's that famous infamous Siren, which so troubles and bewilders some of our society. she hooks at all she meets. It's marvel if she reach not at me.
