On the Tragic History of Hipolito and Isabella

By sale of all things, humane and diuine,
Since all sorts liue; what selles lifes sacred line,
And with that life, the soule puts vnder Presse;
Me thinkes should render rich Men, Midasses:
Here then th'Immortall soule is sold, with life
Of two, by Loue made one, in Man and Wife.
Loue breedes Opinion, and Opinion, Loue,
In whose Orbs, all the liberall Sciences mooue:
All which contracted in one Tragedy,
Sell (great Octauius; ) and Augustus be,
In all worth, for thy sale commoditie.
