Facetiae : Musarum deliciae, or, The Muses recreation, conteining ...

Fancies and Fantasticks .435Was not spoyled.Whilst the Latine, Queen of Tongues,Is not free from Rimes wrongs ;But rests soiled.Scarce the hill again doth flourish,Scarce the world a wit doth nourish,,. TorestorePhcebus to his Crown again,And the Muses to their brain,As before.Vulgar languages that wantWords, and sweetnesse, and be scantOf true measure,Tyran Rime hath so abused,That they long since have refusedOther ceasure.He that first invented thee,May his joynts tormented be,Cramp'd for ever.Still may syllables joyn with time,Still may reason war with rime,Resting never.May his sense when it would meet,The cold tumor in his feet,Grow unsounder.And his title be long foole,That in rearing such a Schoole,Was the Founder.
