The Crowne of All Homers Workes/To Vesta

by Homer

 

To Vesta.

eesta, that (as a seruant) Ouersees
King Phœbus hallowd house: in all degrees
Of Guide about it; on the sacred shore
Of heauenly Pythos: and hast euermore
Rich balms distilling from thy Odorous hayre;
Grace this House, with thy huswifely repaire.
$\scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \\\\\ \ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}$Enter, and bring a Minde that most may moue,
Conferring, euen the great in counsailes, Ioue:
And let my verse taste, of your eithers loue.
