epigrammes in the oldest cut (John Weever ,1599)
honie-tong'd shakespeare when i saw thine issue
i swore apollo got them and none other,
their rosie-tainted features cloth'd in tissue,
some heauen born goddesse said to be their mother;
rose-checkt adonis with his amber tresses,
faire fire-hot venus charming him to loue her,
chaste lucretia virgine-like her dresses,
prowd lust-stung tarquine seeking still to proue her;
romea richard; more whose names I know not,
their sugred tongues, and power attractiue beuty
say they are saints, althogh that states they shew not
for thousands vowes to them subjectiue dutie:
they burn in loue thy children shakespear het them,
go , wo they muse more nympish brood beget them
John Weever (1599)
