WHen that Appelles lived in Grece, Pigmalion also raigned than: These two did strive to frame a pece, Which should amaze the sight of man. Whereby they might win such a name, As should deserve immortall fame. Appelles then strayed everiewhere, To marke and viewe ech courtlie Dame: And when he heard where any were, Did well deserve the prayse and fame: He thither rode with willyng harte, Of her to take the cumliest parte. And when he had with travaile great, A thousand wights knit up in one: He found therewith to wurke his feat, A paterne such, as earst was none. And then with joye retourned backe, For to those limmes, but lyfe did lacke. Pigmalion eke, to shew his arte, Did then conclude, in Ivorie white To forme and frame in everie parte, A woman fayre to his delighte. Wherein was everie limme so coucht, As not a vayne he lefte untoucht. When their two cunnings joyned were, A worlde it was to see their wurke: But yet it may greve everie eare, To heare the chaunce did therein lurke. For through the pece they framed had, For love, Pigmalion did run mad. Which seene, Appelles shut his booke, And durst no longer viewe that sight: For why? her comelie limmes and looke, In one did passe ech other wight. And while Appelles wiped his eye, The pece did mount unto the Skye. Whereas dame Nature toke it straight, And wrapt it up in linnen folde: Esteeming it more, then the waight Had ten times ben of glistryng golde. Shee lockt it up fast in a chest, To pleasure him that shee loved best. Appelles then dismayed much, Did throw his booke into the fire: He feared lest the Gods did grutch, That wurkemen should so high aspire. Yet once agayne he travailed Grece, With lesse effect, and made a pece. Which long time did hold great renowne For Venus all men did it call: Tyll in our dayes gan Nature frowne, And gave the workemannes worke a fall. For, from her chest t'avoyde all stryfe, Shee tooke the pece, and gave it lyfe. And for a token gave the same, Unto the highest man of state: And said: since thou art crownd by Fame, Take to thee here, this worthie mate. The same which kyld the carvers strife, Before that Nature gave it life. Lorde, yf Appelles now did know, Or yf Pigmalion once should heare: Of this their worke the worthie show, Since Nature gave it life to beare. No doubt at all, her worthie prayse, Those selie Grekes from death wold rayse. Then those that daylie see her grace, Whose vertue passeth everie wight: Her comelie corps, her christall face, They ought to pray both day and night. That God may graunt most happie state, Unto that Princesse and her mate.
