To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Would mount as high, and sing as soote as Swanne.
Piers. Ah, fon ! for love does teach him climbe so hie, And lyftes him up out of the loathsome myre; 478 THE SHEPHEARDS CALENDER.
[L. 93- 1 20.
Such immortal mirrhorj as he doth admire, Would rayse ones mynd above the starry skie, And cause a caytive corage to aspire ; For lofty love doth loath a lowly eye.
Cud. All othenvise the state of Poet stands ; For lordly love is such a Tyranne fell, That where he rules all power he doth expell ; The vau...nted verse a vacant head demaundes, Ne wont with crabbed care the Muses dwell : Unwisely weaves, that takes two webbes in hand.
Who ever casts to compasse weightye prise, And thinkes to throwe out thondring words of threate, Let powre in lavish cups and thriftie bitts of meate, For Bacchus fruite is trend to Phcebus wise ; And, when with Wine the braine begins to sweate, The nombers ttowe as fast as spring doth ryse.
Thou kenst not, Peroie, howe the ryme should rage, ! if my temples were distaind with wine, And girt in girlonds of wild Yvie twine, How 1 could reare the Muse on statelj' stage, And teache her tread aloft in buskin fine, With queint Bellona in lier equipage !
