FAYRE Thamis streame, that from Ludds stately towne
Runst paying tribute to the ocean seas,
Let all thy nymphes and syrens of renowne
Be silent, whyle this Bryttane Orpheus playes:
Nere thy sweet bankes, there lives that sacred Crowne,
Whose hand strowes palme and never-dying bayes:
Let all at once, with thy soft murmuring sowne,
Present her with this worthy poets prayes:
For he hath taught hye drifts in shepeherdes weedes,
And deepe conceites now singes in Faeries deedes.
