IN regard ther are divers imperfect and spurious Copies of these two Poems dispersed abroad , I obtain'd leave of the Author to commit them to the press assuring the Reader that these are concordant with the Originalls . H. M. AN ELEGY UPON THE MOST ACCOMPLISH'D , AND HEROIC LORD EDWARD , EARL OF DORSET , Lord Chamberlain to His late Majesty of Great Britain , and Knight of the most Noble Order of the Garter , &c. Alluding to The Quality of the Times , His admired Perfections , His goodly Person , His Antient Pedigree , His Coat of Armes crested with a Star , The Condition of Mortality , The Passion of the Author closing with an Epitaph . AN ELEGY UPON THE LATE EARL OF DORSET . LOrds have bin long Declining , ( we well know ) And making their last Testaments , but now They are Desunct , they are Extinguish'd All , And never like to rise by this Lords Fall ; A Lord , whose Intellectualls alone Might make a House of Peers , and prop a Throne , Had not so dire a Fate hung o're the Crown , That Privilege Prerogative should drown ; Where e're he sate he sway'd , & Courts did awe , Gave Bishops Gospell , and the Judges law With such exalted Reasons , which did flow So cleer and strong , that made Astraea bow To his Opinion , for where He did side Advantag'd more than half the Bench beside . But is great Sakvile dead ? Do we Him lack , And will not all the Elements wear black ? Whereof he was compos'd a perfect man As ever Nature in one frame did span . Such Highborn Thoughts , a Soul so large and free , So clear a Judgment , and vast Memory , So Princely Hospitable and Brave Mind We must not think in hast on earth to find , Unless the Times would turn to Gold agen , And Nature get new strength in forming men . His Person with it such a state did bring That made a Court as if He had bin King , No wonder , since He was so neer a Kin To Norfolks Duke , and the great Mayden Queen . He courage had enough by conquering One To have confounded that whole Nation , Those parts which single do in some appear Were all concentred here in one bright Sphear , For Brain , Toung , Spirit , Heart , and Personage To mould up such a Lord will ask an age , But how durst pale white-liver'd Death seaze on So dauntles and Heroic a Champion ? Yes , to Dye once is that uncancell'd debt Which Nature claymes , and rayseth by Eschet On all Mankind by an old Statute past Primo Adami , which will alwaies last Without Repeal , nor can a second lease Be had of Life when the first term doth cease . Mount noble Soul , Among the starrs take place , And make a new One of so bright a Race May Jove out-shine , that Venus still may be In a benign Conjunction with Thee , To check that Planet which on Lords hath lowr'd , And such malign influxes lately powr'd ; Be now a star thy self for those which here Did on thy Crest , and upper Robes appear , For thy Director take that Star we read Which to thy Saviours Birth three Kings did lead . A Corollary . THus have I blubber'd out some tears and Verse On this Renowned Heroe , and His Herse , And could my Eyes have drop'd down Perls upon 't In lieu of Teares , God knowes , I would have don 't , But Teares are real , Perls for their Emblems go , The first are fitter to express my Wo ; Let this small mite suffize untill I may A larger tribut to his ashes pay , In the mean time this Epitaph shall shut , And to my Elegy a period put . HEre lie's a Grandee by Birth , Parts , and Mind , Who hardly left his Parallell behind , Here lie's the Man of Men , who should have been An Emperour , had Fate or Fortune seen . Totus in lachrymas solutus sic singultivit I. H. UPON THE NUPTIALLS OF THAT PRINCELY PAIR HENRY Lord Marquess Of DORCHESTER , AND The Lady KATHERINE STANLEY , Daughter to the late Heroic Earl of DERBY , An Epithalamium by way of Dialog 'twixt Philemon and Sylvius . Alluding to their 1. Complexions , He Sanguin , She Black and Fair . 2. Coats of Arms , Both Field-Argent , His a Lion Rampant in an orb of Cinqfoyls . 3. Countries . 4. Pedigrees . Going on with an Hymenaeum , or Vote , comprized in four Musicall Stanzas , the three first Ayrie and Poeticall , the last Serious . The DIALOGUE . Philemon . VVHat Object 's that which I behold Dazzling my eyes with gemms and Gold ? Her Face , me thinks , darts such a ray That adds more brightnes to the Day , Her breath perfumes the place , Her curls and hair Like Indian spice aromatize the Air , A sparkling white and black breaks from her sight Like to the Diamonds redoubling light , As she doth walk the very ground and stone Turn to Field-Argent which she treads upon ; A Mortal sure she cannot be But some transcending Deitie ; My dearest Sylvius pray unfold Who 's that rare Creature I behold ? Sylvius . SHe is a Princess and a Bride Goes to the Temple to be ti'd In Nuptiall bonds , her starrs will not permit That at the Vestall fires She longer sit ; She 's Derbie's Royall bloud , Derby le Gran , And now She travells to the I le of Man , She of the Princely Orenge is a branch Imp'd on the high Trimovillan stem of France , Two of the fairest Kingdomes strove , and try'd Their Utmost to compleat this Lovely Bride . 'T is she which makes 'twixt gemms and gold That Constellation you behold . Philemon . BUt who 's that comely sanguine Peer Which on her heart-side walks so neer ? He likewise makes all Argent as he goes , Look at his feet how thick the Cinqfoyl grows . Sylvius . T Is Wise and Wealthy Pierrpont , who renowns With Titles , Three of Englands chiefest Towns , A precious pond'rous Lord , whose fole Estate A Jury of new Barons might create , Patron of Virtue , Chivalry , and Arts 'Cause he himself excells in all these Parts ; 'T is He who by the hand doth hold That Demi-Goddess you behold . Philemon . IS 't so ? then my Autumnall Muse shall sing An Hymenaeum , and fetch back Her spring , This Subject a fresh vigor doth inspire , And heats my brain with an unusuall fire . AN HYMENAEUM , OR BRIDAL-SONET , Consisting of four Stanzas , and to be sung by three voices , according to a choice Air set thereunto by Mr. WILLIAM WEBB . 1. Chorus MAy all Felicity betide This Princely Bridegroom , and his Bride . May those delights this morn shall bring Be endless as their Nuptiall Ring , May they be constant , and exceed Each Others Wishes , Hopes , and Creed , May the three Regions of the air Powr showrs of blessings on this pair , May Sol and Cynthia with their rayes , Silver their nights and gild their dayes . 2. Chorus ▪ All joyes attend and best of Fate This noble Marques and His Mate . 2. YEe gentle Nymphs of Trent and Dee Make hast to this solemnity , Your streames and beds now meet in one By this High-sprung conjunction , Ye Wood-nymphs who green garlands wear In Shirewood launds , and Delamer , Yee Dames of Helicon attend , And Graces your sweet presence lend , Lucina com , and pray ther be Employment in due time for thee . Chorus . May all Felicity betide This noble Bridegroom , and his Bride . 3. MAy they such gallant Males produce Both to the Rose and Flowerdeluce , That Englands Chivalry and French May multiply , and bourgeon hence , Whose branches shooting o're the Main May knit , and blossome here again , That Pierrponts Lion and Cinqfoyl May ramp and root in every soyl ; Nor may this noble Race wear out Till Plato's Great year wheel about . Chorus . May all Felicity betide This noble Bridegroom , and his Bride . 4. Stanza Closing with a serious graduall Vote . MAy all the Elements conspire To make them bless'd in their desire , May all the Stars on them reflect Their mildest looks in Trine aspect , May all the Angels them defend From every thing doth ill portend , May Angells , Stars , and Elements Affoord Them such compleat contents That They have nothing els to wish But a Perseverance of Bliss . Chorus . All joyes attend and best of Fate This noble Marquess and his Mate . Idem I. ● . FINIS .
