<sd><i>Enter Gower.</i></sd>To sing a Song that old was sung,
From ashes, auntient <i>Gower</i> is come,
Assuming mans infirmities,
To glad your eare, and please your eyes:
And Lords and Ladyes in their liues,
Haue red it for restoratiues:
The purchase is to make men glorious,
<sp><i>Et bonum quo Antiquius eo melius</i></sp>:
If you, borne in those latter times,
When Witts more ripe, accept my rimes;
And that to heare an old man sing,
May to your Wishes pleasure bring:
I life would wish, and that I might
Waste it for you, like Taper light.
This <i>Antioch</i>, then <i>Antiochus</i> the great,
Buylt vp this Citie, for his chiefest Seat;
The fayrest in all <i>Syria.</i>This King vnto hi . . .
