Thou that deliver'd hast so many, beSo kinde of nature, to deliver me!But stay: for though the learn'd ChronologerOf Dunkerk, doth confesse him freed by her;The subt'ler Poets yet, whom wee translateIn all this Epick Ode, doe not relateThe manner how; and wee are loth at allTo vary from the Dutch Originall.Deeds they report, of greater height than these;Wonders, and truth; which if the Court-wits please,A little helpe from Nature, lesse from Art,May happily produce in a Third part.
