would in their riper strength (had it pleased high God till then to
drawe out his daies) spired forth fruit of more perfection. But since
God hath disdeigned the world of that most noble Spirit, which was
the hope of all learned men, and the Patron of my young Muses;
togeather with him both their hope of anie further fruit was cut
off: and also the tender delight of those their first blossoms
nipped and quite dead. Yet sithens my late cumming into England,
some frends of mine (which might much preuaile with me, and
indeede commaund me) knowing with howe straight bandes of
duetie I was tied to him: as also bound vnto that noble house,
(of which the chiefe hope then rested in him) haue
soug[H]t to reuiu[E] them by vp[B]raiding m[E]: for that I [H]aue
not shewed anie thankefull remembrance towards him or any of them;
but suffer their names to sleep in silence and forgetfullnesse.
Whome chieflie to satisfie, or els to auoide that *fowle BLOT* of vnthankefullnesse, as I haue conceiued this small Poeme, intituled
by a generall name of the worlds Ruines: yet speciallie intended to
the renowming of that noble race, from which both you and he sprong,
and to the eternizing of some of the chiefe of them late deceased.
The which I dedicate vnto your La. as whome it most speciallie
concerneth: and to whome I acknowledge my selfe bounden,
by manie singular fauours & great graces. I pray for your
Honourable happinesse: & so humblie kisse your ha(n)des.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebe_%28mythology%29
<<{HEBE} is the Greek goddess of youth and cupbearer for the gods and
goddesses of Mount Olympus. {HEBE} would move among them, bearing the
*EWER* of divine draught with which she would fill the goblets. As a
result of a fall in which {HEBE} exposed herself to the eyes of all
in a rather indecent posture, she lost her job and was replaced by Ganymede/Aquarius the Water-carrier.
The name {HEBE} comes from Greek word meaning "youth"
or "prime of life". In Euripides' play Heracleidae,
{HEBE} granted Iolaus' wish to become young again in order
to fight Eurystheus. {HEBE} had two children with Heracles:
(A)lexiares & (A)nicetus. {HEBE} also drew baths
for Ares and helped Hera enter her chariot.>>
{HEBE} was also a goddess of {PARDONS} or forgiveness;
freed prisoners would *HANG their CHAINS*
in the sacred grove of her sanctuary at Phlius.>> ------------------------------------------------
