Few of the university pen plaies well, they smell too much of that writer Ovid and that writer Metamorphosis and talk too much of Proserpina and Jupiter. Why, here's our fellow Shakespeare puts them all down. Aye, and Ben Jonson too. O that B. J. is a pestilent fellow, he brought up Horace giving the poets a pill, but our fellow, Shakespeare, hath given him a purge that made him beray his credit.

SCOTT-Kenilworth. Ch. XXIX.
Introductory verses.

The barge she sat in, like a burnish'd throne, Burn'd on the water: the poop was beaten gold;

The water which they beat to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes.

And that same eye whose bend doth awe the

Did lose his lustre.
