And many moe which if ye would not allow for _dactils_ the verse would halt vnlesse ye would seeme to helpe it contracting a sillable by vertue of the figure _Syneresis_ which I thinke was neuer their meaning, nor in deede would haue bred any pleasure to the eare, but hindred the flowing of the verse. Howsoeuer ye take it the _dactil_ is commendable inough in our vulgar meetres, but most plausible of all when he is sounded vpon the stage, as in these comicall verses shewing how well it becommeth all noble men and great personages to be temperat and modest, yea more then any meaner man, thus. _Le-t no` no`bi-li`ti`e ri-che`s o`r he-ri`ta`ge Ho-no`r o`r e-mpi`re o`r ea-rthli`e do`mi-ni`o`n Bre-ed I`n yo`ur hea-d a`ni`e pe-euish o`pi-ni`o`n That ye` ma`y sa-fe`r a`uo-uch a`ni`e o-utra-ge._ And in this distique taxing the Prelate symoniake standing all upon perfect _dactils_. _No-w ma-ni-e bi-e mo-ne-y pu-rue`y pro`mo-ti`o`n For mony mooues any hart to deuotion._ But this aduertisement I will giue you withall, that if ye vse too many _dactils_ together ye make your musike too light and of no solemne grauitie such as the amorous _Elegies_ in court naturally require, being alwaies either very dolefull or passionate as the affections of loue enforce, in which busines ye must make your choice of very few words _dactilique_, or them that ye cannot refuse, to dissolue and breake them into other feete by such meanes as it shall be taught hereafter: but chiefly in your courtly ditties take heede ye vse not these maner of long _polisillables_ and specially that ye finish not your verse them as [_retribution_] _restitution_] _remuneration_] _recapitulation_] and such like: for they smatch more the schoole of common players than of any delicate Poet _Lyricke_ or _Elegiacke._ _CHAP. XV._ _Of all your other feete of three times and how well they would fashion a meetre in our vulgar.__
