book one of spenser's faerie queene begins with four lines supposed to
be imitative of verses found at the beginning of some medieval and
renaissance editions of _the aeneid_:
Lo I the man, whose Muse whilome did maske,
As time her taught, in lowly Shepheards weeds,
Am now enforst a far unfitter taske.
For trumpets sterne to chaunge mine Oaten reeds...
does anybody know anything about this? based on my superior
understanding of _the aeneid_ (grin), i cannot believe that anything
like these lines belong to V.
