Penelope sodalibus omnibus s.
gratias vobis omnibus ago quod carmina alia conferistis. nam lumen rei addicit.
quo mente eques Philippus Sidneius carmen de passere accepisset protinus hoc legendo videatis:-
Good brother Philip, I have borne you long;
. . . . .
I bare (with Envie) yet I bare your song
When in her necke you did Love ditties peepe;
Nay - more fool I - oft suffered you to sleepe
In Lillies' neast [nido] where Love's self lies along
. . . . .
But must you needs with those lips billing be,
And through those lips drinke Nectar from that toong? [de illius lingua]
Leave that, sir Phip, least [ne] off your neck be wroong! (tordeatur]
Sonnet 83. Astrophel and Stella pub. 1591, sed antea scriptum.
salvete!
