TE

TERENCE.

Terens in Englyfh, or the tranflacyon out of Latin into Englyfh of the first comedy of Tyrens callyd Andria. Supposed to be printed by J. Raftell.

Andria,

*As the following metrical introduction to this play, relates chiefly to the improvements at that time fuppofed to have been made in the English language, I could not prevail on myself to fupprefs it.

The Poet.

The famous renown through the worlde is fprong
Of poetys ornate that usyd to indyte

Of dyvers matters in theyr moder tong
Some toke uppon them tranflacions to wryte
Some to compile bokys for theyr delyte
But in our English tong for to fpeke playn
I rede but of few have take any gret payn.
Except master Gowre which furft began
And of moralite wrote ryght craftely
Than mafter Chaucer that excellent man
Which wrote as compendious as elygantly
As in any other tong ever dyd any
Ludgate alfo which adournyd our tong
Whofe noble famys through the world be fprong.

By thefe men our tong is amplyfyed fo
That we therin now tranflate as well may
As in eny other tongis other can do

Yet the Greke tong and Laten dyvers men fay
Have many wordys can not be Englyfhid this day
So lyke wyfe in Englyfh many wordys do habound
That no Greke nor Laten for them can be found,
And the cause that our tong is fo plenteouse now
For we kepe our Englyfh contynually
And of other tongis many wordis we borow
Which now for Englyth we ufe and occupy
These thingis have gyven corage gretly
To dyvers and fpecyally now of late
To them that this comedy have tranflate.
Which all difcrete men now do befech
And fpecyally lernyd men to take no dyfdayn
Though this be compylyd in our vulgare fpech
Yet lernyng thereby fome men may attayn
For they that in this comedy have take payn

In the metrical peroration to this piece, is the following stanza: Wherfore the tranflatours now require you this

Yf ought be amys ye wold confyder

The Englyfh almost as short as the Latten is
And still to kepe ryme a dyffycult matter
To make the fentence opynly to appere
Which if it had a long expocyfion

Then were it a comment and no tranflacyon.
