Classic Poem

Sprung like pure morning Light vnstain'd
From noble bloud; nor bought, nor fain'd;
Worth-full, & clearely fam'd in youth,
For natiue garbe of faith, & truth:
Thalian D A phne; M U se, & Grace,
And chast, tho Phœbus chase & chase:
A Soule dis-vulgard, neare of Kinne
To hir's, whose glories will beginn,
A female order, past the fleece,
Or garter; of two crounes a peice;
Which she the Soveraigne giues of merite
To weake resemblers of hir Spirrit,
Aboue the common rate, & fitt
As well for reason, as for witt
High witt deuoyd of everie vice
To th'order of The Fleure d'elice.
