Beqaeet him then, that he would thee commend Els ucT'r thy worth may worthily be penn'd. And yet, for all his royall eloquence, Scarce may he figure forth thy excellence. In the following extract from " A Canto upon the death of Eliza * by Giles Fletcher, which possesses much of his rich and luxuriant style, and is one of the most favourable specimens in the volume, the reader will recognize an allusion to the early and well-known fable of the nightingale and the thorn so frequently introduced ...by our poetical writers, and the origin of which can hardly be traced. Tell me sad Philomele, that yonder sif st Piping thy songs vnto the dauncing twig, And to the waters fall thy musioke fit'st So let the friendly prickle neuer digge Thy watchfull breast with wound or small or bigge Whereon thou lean*8t, so let the hissing snake Sliding with shrinking silence neuer take Th' vnwarie foote, whilst thou perhaps hang'st halfe awake. So let the loathed lapwing when her nest Is stol'ne away, not as shee vses, flie, Cousening the searcher of his promised feast : But widdow*d of all hope still Itis crie, And nought but Itis Itis, till shee die.
