Στησατε μοι Πρωτηα πολυτροπον, οφρα φανειη Ποικιλον ειδος εχων, οτι ποικιλον υμνον αρασσω. Νον. Διον.
for i will for no man’s pleasure change a syllable or measure; pedants shall not tie my strains to our antique poets’ veins; being born as free as these, i will sing as i shall please. George Wither.
