Texte et typographie originale :

OH truant Muſe what ſhalbe thy amends, For thy neglect of truth in beauty di'd? Both truth and beauty on my loue depends: So doſt thou too,and therein dignifi'd: Make anſwere Muſe,wilt thou not haply ſaie, Truth needs no collour with his collour fixt, Beautie no penſell,beauties truth to lay: But beſt is beſt,if neuer intermixt. Becauſe he needs no praiſe,wilt thou be dumb? Excuſe not ſilence ſo,for't lies in thee, To make him much out-liue a gilded tombe: And to be praiſd of ages yet to be.  Then do thy office Muſe,I teach thee how,  To make him ſeeme long hence,as he ſhowes now.
