wrong was not onely doone to mee, but to him whose un-
matchable lines have indured the like misfortune; Ignor-
ance sparing not to commit sacriledge upon so holy
Reliques. Yet Astrophel, flying with the wings of his
own fame, a higher, pitch then the gross-sighted can dis-
cerne, hath registred his owne name . . .
