Brugel and Coxu, and the works outdo Of Holbein and that mighty Rubens too. 386. A VOW TO MARS. STORE of courage to me grant, 387. TO HIS MAID, PREW. THESE Summer-birds did with thy master stay Brugel, Jan Breughel, Dutch landscape painter (15691625), or his father or brother. Coxu, Michael van Coxcie, Flemish painter (14971592). 388. A CANTICLE TO APOLLO. PLAY, Phœbus, on thy lute; And we will sit all mute, By listening to thy lyre, That sets all ears on fire. Hark, hark, the god does play! And as he leads the way Through heaven the very spheres, As men, turn all to ears. 389. A JUST MAN. A JUST man's like a rock that turns the wrath Of all the raging waves into a froth. 390.

SHOW me thy feet; show me thy legs, thy thighs; Show me those fleshy principalities; Show me that hill where smiling love doth sit, Having a living fountain under it ; Show me thy waist, then let me therewithal, By the assention of thy lawn, see all. 405.
