To pardon this year to us, and release thee? I fear thy wishes are far larger than our hopes. Irrem. ollopa. Merry Apollo? I doubt his ears are stopped, and I have heard the gods use not to recall their dooms, which they have once pronounced. Keps. o suesun. What? wouldest thou have me speak to Musaeus Apollo's Priest, to intercede for thee for this remission? Os ot. mih. IN good time here he comes forth. But son I dare not approach to him. O what a trembling reverence doth possess My limbs, and all benumbs my chill cold blood, When I behold his awful gravity. Let us retire beside this shady tree This mossy bank will rest my weary limbs, And give me time to recollect my spirits. Grave guide of tender youth, Interpreter Of great Apollo's laws chief secretary Unto the learned Muses, all your words Are lodged safe in this laborious breast. Think your command's no sooner said than done▪ Careful Philoponus, I approve your pains And have already recommended you Unto Apollo's self. O that the rest Of those, that undertake this worthy task, Pretending to the liberal sciences, Could so acquit themselves. But 〈◊〉 all seeing 〈◊〉 in circling round About both Hemispheres of this large world, Hath spied that some (O too too great a sum) Have s●ly crept within the verge and pa● Of his dominions. In truth they strangers are, Nay enemies and rebels to his laws; Yet would be counted Natives of his school, By them his tender plants corrupted are, Distorted, bruised, hindered of their growth. Think they that these foundations have been l● These Cells erected, and those Temples dight To harbour such foul elles? Shall snorting sloth Think here to nestle, fixed to his bed, As is the slow-paced snail unto his shell? Shall wanton pleasure think to revel here? Shall toying apish prating Compliment Outface the Muses, tear Apollo's locks, Entice away the tender brood, with shows Of empty words, and bubbles vanishing? Shall shifting sharks defraud their innocence? Shall hasty heady Novices outleap their master's lo●, Presuming on their wit, and undertake To read a lecture to their teacher? No. 'Tis well that some have heretofore for this been made examples of such hastiness. Nay let them backward go, that thus have run. Alas poor child, I see, he meaneth thee. Have pity on us great Apollo's Priest. Worthy Philoponus entreat Muscus for my child. Does your child desire so much? D●g. ris keeps. ros. 'em. Speak for him good sir. His language is so harsh, that I will speak, if it be but to rid my ears of this preposterous sound. Venerable Muscus. May it please our Lord Apollo, now after two years penance to remit the remaining year. If there be evidence that in this time, he hath retired and plied what formerly he overslipped in his rudiments. myself can partly witness that.
