The Crowne of All Homers Workes/To the Mother of the Gods

by Homer

TO

THE MOTHER

OF

The Gods.

other of All; both Gods, and Men, Commend
(O Muse) whose faire Forme did from Ioue descend;
That doth with Cymball sounds, delight her life;
And tremulous diuisions of the Fife.
Loues dreadfull Lyons Rores; and Wolues hoarse Houles,
Syluane Retreates; and Hills, whose hollow knoules,
Raise repercussiue soundes about her eares.
And so, may, Honour, euer crowne thy yeares,
With All-else Goddesses; and euer be
Exalted in the Muses Harmonie.
