_Naming_ the last Discourse (save one) I take this Opportunity to acquit
my self of some _Omissions_ and _Mistakes_, left out in the _Errata_ of
_Numismata_; but, upon discovery, immediately after, notify'd, and
reform'd in the next _Philosophical Transactions_ of that Month.
Amico carissimo _Johanni Evelyno_,
Armigero,
e Societate Regali Londini, J. Beale, _S.P.D._ _In_ Silvam.
Fare age quid causae est quod tu _Silvestria_ pangis,
Inter _Silvanos_, capripedesque _Deos_?
Inter _Hamadryadas_ laetus, _Dryadasque_ pudicas,
Cum tua _Cyrrhaeis_ sit _Chelys_ apta modis!
Scilicet hoc cecinit numerosus _Horatius_ olim,
_Scriptorum Silvam_ quod _Chorus Omnis amat_.
Est locus ille Sacer _Musis, & Apolline_ dignus,
Prima dedit summo _Templa_ sacranda _Jovi_.
Hinc quoque nunc Pontem _Pontus_ non respuit ingens,
Stringitur _Oceanus_, corripiturque Salum.
Hinc novus _Hesperiis_ emersit mundus in oris,{cii:1}
Effuditque auri flumina larga probi.
Hinc exundavit distento _Copia cornu_,
Qualem & _Amalthaeae_ non habuere sinus.
_Silva_ tibi curae est, grata & _Pomona_ refundit
Auriferum, roseum, purpureumque _nemus_.
Illa famemque sitimque abigens expirat odores,
Quales nec _Medus_, nec tibi mittit _Arabs_.
Ambrosiam praebent modo cocta _Cydonia_. Tantum
