fortunes doe deface thee Tell thy Muses to their faces They may learne of mee to grace thee For thy sighes thy sobbes and teares But thy common badges beene While the paine the spirit beares Eates away the heart vnseene Where in silence swallowed vp Are the sighes and teares of loue Which are drawne to fill the cuppe Must be drunke to deaths behoue Then beholding my hearts swoune In my torments

inuented How a heart may be contented But in torments all distressed Hopelesse how to be redressed All with howling and with crying Liue in a contiuuall dying Sing a Dirge on Spencers death Till your soules be out of breath Bidde the Dunces keepe their dennes And the Poets breake their pennes Bidde the Sheepheards shed their teares And the Nymphes go teare their haires Bidde the Schollers leaue their reeding And prepare their hearts to bleeding Bidde the valiant and the wise Full of sorrowes fill their eyes All for griefe that he is gone Who did grace them euery one Fairy Queene shew fairest Queene How her faire in thee is seene Sheepeheards Calender set downe How to figure best a clowne As for Mother Hubberts tale Cracke the nut and take the shale And for other workes of worth All too good to wander forth Grieue that euer you were wrot And your Author be forgot Farewell Arte of Poetry Scorning idle foolery Farewell true conceited reason Where was neuer thought of treason Farewell iudgement with inuention To describe a hearts intention Farewell wit whose sound and sense Shewe a Poets excellence Farewell all in one togither And with Spencers garland wither And if any Graces liue That will vertue honour giue Let them shewe their true affection In the depth of griefes perfection In describing forth her glory When she is most deepely sory That they all may wish to heere Such a song and such a quier As with all the woes they haue Follow Spencer to his graue FINIS
