Against Unnaturall Poets

A STRONG imagination (as it's said)
Of soules effects the Muses most doth aide:
Why then I muse how some imagining
To play the poets well with much musing:
Yet they imagin but their owne disgrace,
Their highest imaginations are so base!
It is because (like giants against the gods)
With Nature they will needes be still at ods.
But Nature, them subduing, it befalls,
She, as her captiues, makes them Naturals.
