ABSTRACT

I wis, the English is nothing too good to imitat the Greeke, or Latine, or other eloquent Languages, that honour the Hexameter, as the soveraigne of verses, and the high Controwler of Rimes. If I never deserve anye better remembraunce, let mee…be Epitaphed, The Inventour of the English Hexameter; whom learned M.Stanihurst imitated in his Virgill; and excellent Sir Phillip Sidney disdained not to follow in his Arcadia, & elsewhere.
