Who to Tiberius was espoused,
Ere he the sceptre sway’d
What Theban chief by glory rous’d,
War against Sparta made?
To Romulus, that prince renown’d,
Who was Rome’s king proclaim’d,
What Trojan chief for counsel sound,
And good intent, was fam’d?
Who rais’d a tomb to Mausolus,
At Artemisia ‘s word,
To testify her deep distress
For toss of her lov’d lord?
For this Ephesian architect,
Will help to bring to light,
(If him with th’ others you connect)
A planet mild and bright.
(Elizabeth Hitchener)
