Classic Poem

Nor will we hide what ancient Fame profest:
How milke which gusht from Iuno's whiter brest
In heaven that splendent path and circle drew;
From whence the name, as erst the colour grew.
Or troopes of vnseene starres there ioyne their light;
And with vnited splendour shine more bright.
Or Soules of Heroes , from their bodies freed,
Exchanging Earth for Heaven, (their vertues meede)
Shine in that Orbe, their proper place of rest;
And liue aetheriall liues, of heauen possest.
