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,

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.>> ------------------------------------------------
