Epigram 11: It is no wonder though Romes regall
From The Sculler (1612)
Religion
It is no wonder though Romes regall sway,
Is by a Shepheard ruld with Lordly fame;
For antient records truly doth display;
How Romulus the Shepheard built the same:
And how his brother Remus and himselfe,
In Tybers ruthles waues, ydrencht and duckt,
When infant misery was all their pelfe,
A rauening wolfe, most mother-like they suckt:
From whome doth spring as from a flowing gulfe,
Romes Priest, and Prince, a Shepheard, and a Wolfe.
