''Endimion and Phoebe'' is a pastoral poem written by the English poet Michael Drayton. The poem tells the story of Endimion, a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess Phoebe. Endimion is granted immortality by Zeus so that he can be with Phoebe forever. The two lovers spend their days in idyllic happiness, surrounded by the beauty of nature. However, their happiness is threatened by the jealousy of other gods, who seek to tear them apart. The poem is notable for its vivid descriptions of the natural world, its exploration of the themes of love and immortality, and its use of classical mythology.IN I-onia whence sprang old Poets fame, From whom that Sea did first deriue her name, The blessed bed whereon the Muses lay, Beauty of Greece, the pride of Asia, Whence Archelaus whom times....This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
