TO My Worthily, Honoured FRIEND, Mr. FRANCIS ATKINSON. I Shall not need to derive any confidence from the long acquaintance and friendship hath passed between us, to press you to the Patronage of this work, when there are so many other Considerations that in a manner force it on you, as having a certain right in it; it is the account of many a years Stewardship, the product of many a midnight thought, during my relation to you and those young Gentlemen committed by you to my charge and oversight, in a word, it had the first and last hand put to it, that is, owes both its original and perfection to your house at HADLEY. There are indeed abroad in the world many books conducing to the improvement of youth in good Letters, whereof it may be said of some, they are superfluous, of others they are burdensome, and by multiplicity of instruction distract the Learner. And this proceeds partly from an itch of reputation, which even those of that laborious, (nay, by many slighted) profession are not free from, partly from the difficulties that attend the education of youth, and partly from that general humour, in most men of discovering their invention in furnishing the world with something that is new, or their wit in reforming and advancing what had been done by others. But for this of mine, you are not ignorant of the difficulty of the attempt, what a strange multitude of Authors I have been forced, as it were to anatomise, and that I may say, without any great loss of Modesty, that there never came yet abroad so methodical an Institution of ENGLISH POESY. For you, who look on education through other prospective glasses than those of necessity or advantage, know, that it requires a person of generous inclinations, that as an exrprest Architect, lays the solid foundations of humane life, and undertakes a business that hath the greatest influence on Policy, Morality, and Religion. This once granted, no pains, no care, no vigilancy can be too great that is spent upon the cultivation of these noble plants, were there only this inducement that we should transmit them such to posterity as that they may in them perceive our care and tenderness. Upon these grounds did I enter into the present relation to you, which being, as I said, a stewardship, it is but just I should bring something to testify my faithfulness. You know how beneficial this work hath been where it was brought forth, and exercised, and I leave it to you, either to communicate it, or conceal it. If ever it come abroad into the world, I desire it may be under the conduct of your name, that, for your particular, it may be satisfied how much you have contributed to the the Commonwealth of Learning, and, for mine be convinced, how conscientious I have been in the discharge of my duty, what great respects I have for you, and how passionately desirous I am to express myself, Sir, Your most affectionate Friend, and faithful Servant, Josua Poole. To the hopeful young Gentlemen, his Scholars in that private School, at Hadley, Kept in the house of Mr. Francis Atkinson. SWeet imps of early hopes whose smiling brow Beckons the cincture of the laureate bough, Whose lips seem made, to taste no other spring, Than that by which the The spian virgins sing. Whose sprightly face, and active eyes descry The Muses in a rising majesty: You that without th'edition of a book, Can make men read a Poet in your look; Whose downy plumes with happy augury, Presage betimes, what the fledge soul will be. For you (Ingenious spirits) thus I try To find a milky way to Poesy, That babes, as they the coral nipples lug, May find an Hippocrene within the dug, And the first milk that they shall feed upon, May be the sacred dew of Helicon, And when at first their steps the earth shall greet, At once may find their own and verses feet, After as they grow up, Pegasus may Be the first hobby-horse with which they play, And when to higher sports they come, may put An Homers Iliads in their game some nut, And whilst they take their pastime in the sun, Together make their tops and verses run, Nay to that height they shall their fancies raise, That whilst they run at, they shall win the Bayss, In all their sports they shall the Poets play, And make the Birch, prevented by the Bay; For they shall need no Masters to rehearse Long tedious precepts of the laws of verse, In them so printed shall those laws be seen, As if they had the laws of Nature been. The only task their Masters shall impose On them, will be, to learn to speak in prose; In which, they shall have, if they chance t'offend, As boys scan, verses at their finger's ends, Pleading like Ovid for to save their breech, As if Prosodia went before In speech, Or that they had into the world been brought, As Lucan died, with verses in their throat, Their cradles of the verdant laurel been, Or of those learned trees which once were seen After the Thracian Harper dance along, Wedding their motions to his well-timed song, And all that shall their sudden raptures hear, That Poets are not made, but born will swear. The early blossoms which I see in you, Makes me believe these my presages true; For, if you can so much already do; What will they that may sooner come unto Parnassus' mount? If you so much can see On plainer ground, what will they that shall be Advantaged by that hill, whose tops do rise In stately height, to parley with the skies? On then (sweet souls) that sacred verse may be No longer called the threadbare mystery; Let the world see, what yet it scarce before Hath known, there are good Poets, yet not poor, Whose inspirations, and rich fancies be More than a Taverns frothy tympany, That conjure not up wit with spirit of wine, Nor make the bay, supported by the vine; Like those whose thirsty fancies ebb and flow, lust as their cups, greater or lesser grow, Phoebus and Bacchus that together link, And never write, but in or after drink: As when great showers of rain fall from the skies, In standing waters bubbles will arise. And for myself (though I did ne'er bestride The winged horse, and through the welkin glide, Unto the forked hill; nor saw the spring, Where those sweet maids of Memory do sing: Whilst their harmonious airs give easy birth Unto the flowers, and help the teeming earth: Whilst shaggy Satyrs yield their sense's thrall To the sweet cadence of their madrigals, And all the levy standards of the wood, Quitting the place where they before had stood, Came listening on, and every gladsome tree, Linked with his neighbour to an unity, Whisper their mutual joys, till they had made By their embrace, an unexpected shade, And all the winged musicians of the air, Hid in their branches make a close repair, That by their tunes, they might learn how to sing, And give a better welcome to the spring; Whilst savage beasts, that thither too were come Offered themselves a thankful Hecatomb: Though I dare not make title to that tree That grows upon the banks of Castalie, Nor on Parnassus' top had ever Theme Presented by the Muses in a dream, Or with my teeth unbarkt the laurel graft, Yet) can I lend the weaker brains a staff For their supportment, till their riper wit, Shall laugh to see, they ever needed it, staffs cannot go, and yet enable him That wants assistance to his feeble limb; He that is lame, and cannot move, yet may Lie still, and point to others out the way. Many are dumb, and know not how to break Their mind in words, yet by mute signs can speak, And talk so with their fingers, that another May give that language which their dumbness smothers. Though whetstones cannot cut at all, they may Do service, and make knives as sharp as they Themselves are blunt, and they who cannot ring By jangling may toll better ringers in, Candles see nought themselves, yet lend a light, Which in the dark gives others use of sight. The height of my ambition and intent, Is but to be a lucky instrument For others good, and instruments we know, Are useful, though themselves can nothing do; Accept and use then this my book, aspire Unto the Mountain's top, blow up that fire Which yet is but a spark Prometheus stole From Phoebus' wheels what burns within your soul, Then give it vent, let it advance a flame, Which may secure your and the Poet's name, From all the malice of invading time, And conquer death with your victorious rhyme. And though you may perchance meet some of those That in a satire of their dough-baked Prose, Not able to reach further, lash the horse, They cannot sit, and whilst they rudely force Their waspish language to disgrace the fount, The horse-hoof-made, scorning the sacred Mount, Too high for them to climb, turn horse themselves, And kick in vain, as waves against the shelves. Crushing their froth, as dogs disturb the night With fruitless howling at fair Cynthia's light, Whilst she untroubled still along doth glide, More by their barking envy glorified, In that bright Car, their snarls cannot impeach, As much above their malice as their reach: Or like that fox, who long with greedy eyes, Did on the grapy clusters tantalise, And last contents himself to call them sour, Which he perceiveth placed above his power, And these may tell you that the Poets be, But the fomenters of of obscenity, Of lust and lewdness, verse the Devil's bait, To draw youth on to what they else would hate. Be not discouraged, Muses none despise, That ever gave the Grace's Sacrifice; Such Majesty is couched in numerous lays, They never understood, which can dispraise. 'Tis true, some spend their ill-disposed hour, Only the Virgin Muses to deflower, And in lose language make the Graces be Naked beyond the bounds of Modesty, Who whilst with shameless ribaldry they sing, Make Helicon a puddle for a spring, Enough to make their reader, one would think, With blushing change the colour of their ink: But must we, cause some children idly play, And cut their fingers, throw our knives away? Or cause when once their bellies full, they eat No more, but toy, must we forgo our meat? What if some loser dames to painting fall; Shall chaster Matrons have no face at all? If some for lust their gaudy garments wear, Shall modest Virgins all their forswear? If some by faggots ruin do conspire, Must our cold chimney therefore want a fire? And shall Lycurgus cut down every vine, Because some Thraoians did exceed in wine? Shall we all modest pictures quite decline, For the lascivious draughts of Aretine? If that abuse could take away the right, And lawful use, we scarce should use our sight. Scripture may be abused, and best things may, By the same argument, be cast away. Though Caesar banished Ovid far from Rome, He kept Parthenious Virgil still at home. All Poets are not vicious some there be, Like Cato, verse it, yet with modesty, And won to goodness, by their verse can show, More souls than many prose-Divines can do; Crowned with religious bays: for often those Are chained by numbers that contemn lose prose, And those whose souls are come so near the gall, Of bitterness, as to think stoical What speaks Religion, yet will dare to try The Poets popular Divinity, And with a yielding fancy lend an ear To all that by the Poet preached they hear. Many have been, which Pulpits did eschew, Converted from the Poets reading pew, And those that seldom do salute the porch Of Solomon, will come to Herbert's Church; For as that English Lyric sweetly sings, Whilst angels danced upon his trembling strings, A verse may find him who a Sermon flies, And turn delight into a sacrifice. Then let the Poet use his lawful bait, To make men swallow what they else would hate, Like wise Physicians that their pills enfold In sugar, paper, or the leaves of gold, And by a virtuous fraud and honest stealth, Cousin unwilling Patients into health; Like winter fires, that with disdainful heat, The opposition of the cold defeat, And in an angry Spleen do burn more fair, The more encountered by the frosty air; Let your Phoebean fires its flame advance, Blown by the cold breath of i'll ignorance, And like Amphion build a lofty rhyme, That shall outlast the insolence of time, For there is hidden in a Poet's name. A spell that can command the wings of fame, And maugre all oblivions hated birth, Begin your immortality on earth, " And when more spreading titles are forgot, " And spite of all their lead and cerecloth rot, " You wrapped and shrined in your own sheets shall lie " As relics famed for all posterity. No envious time or age shall ever pierce, The better marble of eternal verse, Nine Muses can cammand the fatal three, And make their bays outlive the Cypress tree, And though they part with breath they cannot die Whose name's embalmed in sacred Poesy, For such are the proud miracles of verse, They make men rise up from their drowsy hearse, And cause the grave deaths utmost spite but be A larger womb to immortality. The Deities above, and those below, To the learned nine auspcious homage owe, And they whose heads the laurel chaplets bear Can charm the gods in either Hemisphere. What is't the Muse's javelin cannot pierce? When heaven and hell are mastered by a verse, The Laurel staff swayed by a learned hand Carries more magic than that silver wand, Heaven's verger waves, then that Medea shook, When Aeson from the scalding bath she took, Hot as the youth she gave him, or the ram, Which from the Cauldron leapt a frisking lamb, Such boundless power doth on numbers wait Without a blasphemy they can create, Nor have they fame and strength alone, but can Surfeit the unconfined desires of man, With soul-transporting pleasure and content, Not to be thought on without ravishment: For when the ranging fancy hath in vain Pursued delight through all things, yet remains Still empty, these with satisfaction fill; Deucalion's ship rests on Parnassus' hill. For as he sung, that was the blithest swain, That ever fingered pipe on flowery plain, You may in these as oft as you shall choose, " Hug sweet content with your retired Muse, " And in those studies find as much to please, " As others in the greatest Palaces, " Instead of hounds, that make the wooded hills " Talk in an hundred voices to the rills, " Hear you the pleasing cadence of a line; " Struck by the consort of the sacred nine. " In lieu of hawks, the raptures of your soul, " Transcend their pitch, and base earth's control; " For running horses, let your fancies fly " Like arrows that outrun the hunting eye; " For courtly dancing, you may take more pleasure. " To hear your verse keep time and equal measure, " All this without expense, when others oft, " With their undo have their pleasures bought, Such are the Poet's joys, as be no less Than th' image of eternal happiness, L●ke heavens; none these, save the enjoyers know, And they themselves better conceive than show, Revenged on their ignorance are those, Which tread the mortar of untempred prose, Whose grovelling fancy's, and too low pitched eye Cannot reach up unto the Poet's sky, And yet like those that to shoot up are bold, At what their dazzled sense cannot behold, Against the poet saucily dare vent Their barrn fancies, frothy excrement, Pitiing their ignorance, wish you no worse, Than what was once the noble Sydney's curse, May Cupid wound them, and they lie forlorn, As pitied objects of their mistress scorn, Wanting that fire which warms the poet's brain To thaw the ice of her deserved disdain, Till dead with grief, they make the Muses laugh To see their names denied an Epitaph, And all their fame inearthed with their hearse, Rotting for want of an embalming verse. Contemn their scorns and with a brave disdain, Slight all those toys, that others entertain, Which only study how to wear their clothes, And fill up their imperfect speech with oaths, serving their body into every shape, And are content to be the common ape Of every Nation, so they may but be In fashion with their flaunting bravery; Whose best discourse can no more skill impart, Than tales of hawks and hounds in terms of art, Who, if they have a tattling spur and bear, Heads light as the gay feathers which they wear, Whistle in silks, and sometimes can invent Occasion for a threadbare compliment, And make a gaudy hilted rapier ride, H●d in as fine a scabbard, on their side, As more for show than use; talk of a wench With more disease than language of the French, In whom inventious tailors forming art, And the spruce barber claims a greater part, Than nature or their education can, Think themselves are the only Gentile man, And complete, gallant for this outward dress, And gilded trim, when they are nothing less; But shapes of men, and speaking butterflies, Attracting only fools, and children's eyes. Let these enjoy their humours, whose descent, And blood's the best and only argument That they can use to prove them Gentlemen; Whilst by the raptures of your learned pen, Your sweet paced numbers and harmonious lays, You get the solid, and enduring praise, And show your worth and birth by a divine, And better far than your forefather's line. Pay then the Muse's Tithes, and let those powers Of sacred verse, share in your idle hours, Those ravelled thrums of time on fruitless play, And emptiness should not be thrown away. Those threads of patched up vacant hours may Make will serve you for a working day; The product rising from such vacant hours Makes this to be what I myself am— Yours Josua Pool. THE PREFACE, Being a short Institution OF ENGLISH POESY. IT is the ordinary misfortune of posthumous works, like Orphans, to be exposed to the mercy of others; insomuch, that when they come to appear in the world, they have not those accommodations, which such as are advanced by their own parents and friends, commonly have. Were the learned Author of this laborious work alive to see this production of his abilities, and extraordinary industry come abroad, there needed not any to give account of it but himself. For who could have said more for the advantage and ornament of Poesy, than a person who had so fortunately spent both his time and endeavours to cultivate it in the highest manner that could be? But since he is not, the Reader must accordingly abate of his expectation, and, instead of large Institution of Poesy, such as might well attend the present Work into the world, accept of such as slight account thereof, as may be proportionable to their capacities, for whose improvement, instruction, and convenience, these endeavours of his were intended. They indeed were calculated for their meridian who stood subject to the ferula; which yet hinders not, but they may indifferently contribute to the assistance of all those, who find in themselves any natural inclination or happiness of thought more than ordinary, to express themselves in verse. We are then to note, that as the world became more and more civilised, Harmony, I mean that of speech and mutual expression one to another, grew more and more into reputation. Hence is it that those languages are considered as the most refined that are most susceptible of Harmony, and those most favouring of incivility and barbarism, wherein a man cannot express himself without harshness and discord. This harmony, in prose, consists in an exact placing of the accent, and an accurate disposition of the words; such as delighting the ear, doth in a manner captivate the passions and the understanding. Of this, strange instances might be made in the ancient Orators, who may be said to lead the people whither they pleased. In Poesy, it consists besides the aforesaid conditions of Prose in measure, proportion and Rhyme. All we have to say relates only to the latter, and in that, confining ourselves particularly to English Poesy. There are some, who in point of Poetry attribute so much to Nature that they think all rules and directions absolutely unnecessary, and consequently that it is not reducible to any Art; and this they categorically affirm of some Nations, allowing to others greater advantages and inclinations to perfection and excellency therein, as particularly to the Greeks and Latins. But those certainly consider not that we are equally the children of Nature; that wit, and happiness of conceit are an universal patrimony, and that there are in every language certain heights proportionable to their Idiom, as may very much advance Poetry. Besides the injustice they do the modern Languages, often comparing their Poetry to that of the Greek and Latins, and finding it somewhat disconsonant they presently condemn it as savage and barbarous, when haply, considered with relation to the Languages, it is much the more excellent. To which may be added the advantages, in point of Poetry, accrueing by Rhyme, and consequently that the Languages that are enriched by it, are the most susceptible of Poesy. But for these and the like controversies arising concerning Poetry, we refer those that are desirous of further satisfaction to the defence of Poesy, wri●ten by Sir Philip Sidney, printed at the end of the Arcadia; Mr. Sa. Daniel's Apology for Rhyme, written in answer to a Pamphlet in his time, entitled Observations in the Art of English Poesy; and a certain Treatise entitled, The Art of English Poesy, divided into three Books, the first of Poets and Poesy; the second of Proportion, and the third of Ornament, printed in the year 1589. treating of Poesy in general, and exemplifying in the English. As to English Poesy, we shall lay it down as granted, that it may be fortunate in any kind, and upon any subject, if it meet with a true son of Parnassus, and a genius that knows how to manage it. And yet we find by experience that the most considerable, and for aught can be found, the most fortunate therein were a sort of Chemists, men of much leisure, and sedentary lives, who writ altogether in Stanza's. In so much that for some centuries of years, the greatest part of English Poetry, was spent on those barren and indeed abstruse subjects of Chemistry, and the Philosopher's stone, as I have it from a Gentleman's observation, who is excellently well versed in Treatises of that nature, and hath a strange, and almost incredible collection thereof. But the English Language arriving daily to greater perfection and purity, Poesy must needs accordingly extend to all subjects and occasions, incident to humane life; and since it admits of the same division into species, as the Greek and Latin, we must, being obliged to them for their Terms, submit to their Method. The chiefest of all the species of Poesy, is the Heroic, or Epic, as being a representation of Heroes, or great and fortunate men, and accordingly requiring a certain state and Majesty suitable to the persons it represents. Some, in Mr. Johnson's time, vainly attempted to write a Heroic poem, in imitation of the Greeks and Latins, by the measures of Spondey and Dactyl, without any regard to rhyme. Of that number was he, who sent him a copy of verses beginning thus, Bennjamminn immmonrtal Jonhnsonn monst hinghline rennonwnend. In this kind were written by the Ancients, all kind of Historical Poesy, performed by most of the Europian Languages, till of late, by way of Stanza's. A second species of Posy is the Lyric, which is of such extent, that it may be made use of on any occasion. To this head are referred Madrigals, Sonnets, Hymns, Ballets, Odes, whereof some are amorous, some rural, some military, some jovial, made for drollery and drinking; in a word, what suits best with the Poet's humour. To these may be added, Epithalamiums, written upon occasion of Nuptials, Epinitions, of Victories, Genethliacks of Nativities, Congratulatories, etc. The most eminent of all writers of this kind, were among the Latins Horace and Catullus. A third species is that of Elegies, Threnodies, and such like long-breathed Poems on luctiferous subjects. To this is reducible, what ever may be said on sad and doleful occasions. Of this Ovid in his book de Tristibus, is, as it were, the Grand Exemplar. A fourth kind is that which is called Dramatic Poesy, divisible into divers species, and comprehending, Tragedies, Comedies, Interludes, Masks, Entertainments, Dialogues, Satyrs, Frolicks, Georgics, Pastorals, Piscatories, Nauticals (which three last, pass commonly under the name of Eclogues) Memoralls and the like. In these the Poet is not strictly obliged to rhyme, but only to measure, being such as are principally intended for the stage, the main grace hereof consists in representation and action. Of all these, the most ancient is the Satire, a kind of writing, reproving common and popular abuses, so called, for the bitterness and invectives thereof, which was such that to regulate and reform their licentiousresse and exorbitance Tragedies and Comedies were introduced. A fift is the Epigram, a facetious kind of writing, full of spirit, humour, and fancy. It is of a vast extent, as comprehending Epitaphs, Characters, Emblems, Devices, Mottoes, Hieroglyphics, Definitions, Aphorisms, Distributions, Paradoxes, Rebus', Problems, It is full of mirth and salt, sententious, directive, as to Morality, proverbial, mythological, Enigmatical, in a word hath all humane actions and accidents to work upon, closing up all with a certain smartness of conceit. The numerous brood of it, are, ingenious fallacies in, and extra dictionem, Encomiastics, Vituperatories, Scoffs, Sarcasms, Jeers, Jests, Quibbles, Clinches, Quips, Bulls, Anagrams, Chronograms, Acrostics, Criticisms, in a word whatever is of Succinct and concise Poetry, on what subject soever, handsomely couched, and worded. To these may lastly be added certain Poetical Treatises concerning Learning, Science, or some particular sect of Philosophy, such as that of Lucretius, Epistolary writings, such as those of Ovid, wherein he hath been imitated by Mr. Drayton, and Historical as Lucan, imitated by the same Drayton and Daniel, and translated and supplied by Mr. Thomas May, both in Latin and English. Having thus made a hasty dissection of Poesy into its several species, it is now time we descend to some few particular instructions, which duly observed, may contribute something to the ornament and embellishment thereof. There is, as we hinted before, a certain harmony in Prose, much more necessary is it in Verse, whereof the grace and advantage consists altogether in the Symphony and cadence. The first Observation then, shall be to endeavour such a disposition of the words, as that, without much labour to the tongue, they make a cerrain melody in the ear, which no sooner hears it, but she judges whether the words be placed so, as to be pronounced without violence by the accent; whence this verse; though it hath the just number of feet, runs harshly to the ear, by reason of the misplacing of the accent. None think reward rendered worthy his worth. The case is the same when by an inconsiderable alteration, as haply that of one word, makes what was before harsh become smooth and pleasant. For instance this, Though death doth consume, yet verve preserves, with a little transposition will run well enough thus, Though death doth ruin, virtue yet preserves. This discovers of what consequence the exact observation of the accent is, which, like right time in Music, produces harmony, the want of it harshness, and discord. In like manner Rhyme depends altogether on the accent; whence it comes that many words terminating alike, yet never rhyme well, such as wéaknesse and confésse, náture and endúre, fortune and importune, etc. This is soon discovered by the ear. The second, to avoid as much as may be long Parentheses, which are a certain torture to the Reader, forcing him to alter his tone till he come to the close of the Parenthesis, and causing in the hearer a distraction and suspense till the sense be united. Examples of this are so frequent, we need not quote any. Some late writers have endeavoured to avoid them even in Prose, and the attempt ought to be cherished and seconded, nor indeed is it very difficult. To this head may be added a certain licentiousness, which some English Poets have in imitation of the Greek and Latin, presumed on to dismember, and disjoin things that should naturally march together; placing some words at such a distance one from another, as will not stand with the English Idiom. Nay sometimes they fall down into flat prose; a kind of Licentia poetica by no means allowable in English, such is that of these verses. But now that she is wearied with the toil Of bawling, and that all her spirits boil With scorching flames of the blind Archers fire, Which kindleth no less vehement desire, In her inamoratoes, hence she goes, Having fareweled the company, at whose Earnest entreaty she was pleased to come Into afair and well adjusted room, etc. A third caution i●, to avoid, as much as may be, frequent Apostrophe's, because of harshness and disturbance consequent thereto, such we have in this verse. The husband is the head, as soon's he unlocks Where the words as and he, are apostrophated, which cannot be well admitted. It is ordinary with the same Author to apostrophate us, his, by, to, be, very, etc. very harshly, and not without violence to the ear. A fourth is to avoid feminine rhymes, such as charity and parity, double and trouble, Dunstable, and Constable, etc. which in a verse of ten syllables or Heroic, speaks a certain flatness derogatory from the Majesty thereof, and if any where they may be allowed, it is in Ditties and Sonnets, and there hardly, Poesy being now arrived to such purity and perfection. With this we forbidden the use of polysyllables, such as are proper to prose, and come not into verse without a certain violence, such as representation, skilfulness, remediless, reciprocally, convertible, sprightfully; as also the frequent use of words, that have the accent on the fourth syllable from the termination; as territory, disputable, protonotary, & the like. A fifth, may be an exact observation of the rhyme, as that wherein all the symphony and music of a verse consists. In this Sir Thomas Urquhart, a man of an extraordinary fancy, may be said to be negligent, or indeed it is the fault of his Country, which being obliged to France for many things, derive thence a liberty not admittable in English Poesy. Such is that of terminating with the same letters, as conceive, and receive, sun, and son, resent and consent, etc. frequent in French Poetry, or such as not allowed, Poesy, would be lost among them. As also that of making two words that have but any affinity in sound, to serve for rhyme, as effects, and takes, expression and copulation, lean and den, late and set; frequent in Scotch Poets, as it were in imitation of the French, among whom it is tolerable. Lastly, for the Epithets, which well placed and significant, are no small ornament in a Poem. These we would have to add something to the signification of the Substantive, that it may not be thought they only fill up the line. Thus to say, briny sea, is no more than to say, the sea, the woody grove is no more than a grove, nor were it amiss to avoid a sort of harsh compound words, much affected by some, such as Thunder-thumping Jove, tempest-raising winds, which reading and experience will soon discover to be the issues of hollow brains, filled with nought but wind. Thus having run through this short Anatomy of Poesy, all now remains to do is, in few words, to give some little account of the Author, and the design and scope of the present work, for the Author he had sometime the charge and management of a private School at Hadley near Barnet in the County of Middlesex, kept in the house of a worthy Gentleman, one Mr. Francis Atkinson, who out of a design truly generous, and public, endeavouring to prevent the inconveniences of irregulated youth, set up a School or Academy, for the education of a select number of gentlemen's sons of good quality. There, it seems, as he confesseth in his Epistle to the said Mr. Atkinson, he writ this elaborate piece. But this is not his first appearance in the world; for in the year 1655. came forth a book of his called the ENGLISH ACCIDENCE, very useful for such as it was intended for, as teaching a way to make him that can but indifferently read English, to turn any sentence into pure and elegant Latin, Printed for R. Lownds at the white Lion in Paul's Churchyard. For the Work, he hath divided it into three parts. The first treats of all rhimes imaginable in English (as the base and foundation of Poesy) according to their several terminations. The second furnishes the diligent Lover of the Muses, with excellent choice and variety of apposite Epithets, somewhat in imitation of Textors in the Latin. The third is an ample treasury of phrases, and elegant expressions, gathered out of the best esteemed English Authors that have writ in the several kinds of Poesy, not unlike that of Thesaurus Poeticus, in Latin. And all this is performed by such an excellent method, and a certain alphabetical disposition, for the greater ease and convenience of those that shall be desirous to advance themselves thereby, that it may be confidently said, the design is absolutely new, there having not any thing of this kind appeared upon the English stage before. So that there seems nothing requisite to complete the great structure of this ENGLISH PARNASSUS, or Poetical Institution, but a Rhetorical Treatise, such as m●y acquaint and furnish the industrious student with these advantages and embellishments, that advance as well Prose, as Poetry to the highest pitch. And such a Treatise there is already in the Printers hands, to be suddenly put into the Press, entitled, ENGLISH RHETORICH, and that drawn by the same hand, and polished by the same indefatigable industry, as this PARNASSUS, And of that RHETORICH, there is the like presumption, that proceeding from the same Author, th●● is, being such as pruned off whatever is burdensome, and unnecessary, and comprehending all that is beneficial and conducing to the improvement o● such as shall desire it, it will meet with a reward suitable to an undertaking of such concernment to all learning, a general encouragement acceptation, and applause.

READER, THou hast here, what some would count big enough to deserve the name of Book, and give thee arguments from the industry in the compiling, and benefit in the use, to work thee to a liking, and extort thy approbation. For my own part, if thou wilt be pleased to pardon the aspiring loftiness of the title, and to consider for whom it was intended; Nec Suffaenus sum, nec inscribo Praxitelem. If thou findest any thing here either for thy pleasure or profit, thank not me, but the greatness of the volume: for could it have been easily transcribed, or any other way made generally useful to all them for whose sakes I have principally taken this pains; it had neither troubled thee, nor the Press: nor had I added one more to the numberless multitude of scribblers. Condemn it as unworthy the light in what words thou pleasest, and I shall owe thee thanks for giving my thoughts expression by thy langnage. If thou disapprovest it and art a wise man; I shall be too proud to know an understanding man of my judgement: if thou be'st a fool, I shall not be very sorry to see some hopes of an improvement in thy judgement, by beginning in this to know what justly to condemn. If thou commendest any thing, whether thou heest wise or otherwise, ● shall be so far from giving thee thanks, that I sha● be half angry with thee, for so much crossing m● expectation. Vale.

Working up rocks to heaven, and heaps of stones, Venting from his vast paunch his fiery groans, Encelad's lightning half-burnt, corpse 'tis said Under this mighty pressing grave-stones laid, Who through those chimney breaches breathes out fire And when that weight his weary limbs doth tyre Sicilia shakes with rumbling noise and cries, And pitchy fogs muffle the frighted skies, the urging flames come from Sicilian Aetna's overburdened womb, As great Typhaeus throws his stones abroad Pressed with Inarim●'s eternal load.

That burning fever of the soul, enraged blood, The tempest of the troubled thoughts, souls combustion, Valour's whetstone. That shorter madness. The souls torrid zone. That heat which chaps the soul, and lets the devil creep in at the crannies, Angry. Having all his thoughts bound up in choler The icy current of his frozen blood ●s kindled up in agonies as hot As flames of burning Sulphur The ashy paleness of his cheeks. ●s scarlated in ruddy flakes of wrath, And like a bearded Meteor doth suck up With swiftest terror all the dusky mists That over-cloud compassion in the breast, impatience lowreth in his face, a February face, All full of frosts, and storms and cloudiness, And were his eye balls into bullets turned He would in rage have shot them at his face. Their eyes sparkling like the beaten flint Like Ajax Telamonius, When he on sheep and oxen spent his fury, Nor can he buckle his distempered passion Within the belt of reason▪ Like a tiled house on fire, no coming near to quench it. Had Narcissus looked so when he was angry, and seen his own face, he could never have been in love with himself. Fierce anger makes▪ the blood grow hot, Even as a firebrand doth the seething pot; And than thy flaming eyes sparkling forth fire, Thou sayest and dost so in thy furious ire, That mad Orestes dares swear such a fact None but a man stark mad ere durst to act. All his phlegm is turned into choler. If God should have then armed him with thunder in 24. hours, there had neither been tent nor pavilion. As if all his humours had turned choler, His heart too great too great for his straight bosom grew Transported with his rage. Like to the chafed boar, whom eager hounds Have at a bay and terrify with sounds. With eyes confessing rage, and eyebrows knit Her face as much as rage would suffer, fair. She stops, and shaking her dishevelld hair, So boiled Progne when she knew, Her sister's rape. His eyes blaze blood and fire, He frowns with eyes that sparkle fire, In whose red eyes two darted flames appeared, The curses lighten from his lip, So looked great Agamemnon, when he heard Calchas unwelcome prophecy. Within his eyes a burning furnace glows, Death and destruction muster in his face, Fretting like a piece of gummed velvet. Who like the roaring of the furious wind, Vents out the wild distempers of his mind. v. Frown. Angels The glorious Hosts of Heaven.

As if the words they hear Were not received, but grafted in the ear, And with a greedy ear, Devoured up his discourse. To hear with sucking ears. Ear was all their sense. To drink with thirsty ears. The soul climbs up into the ear. With double ravishment She hung upon his melting lips attended. With greedy ear she hung Upon his words dropped from his melting tongue, With due attention lent a chained ear. The soul dwelled in the ears.

The Muse patroness. Autumn. Pomona loads her lap with delicates, Winter gins to chide away the flowers. Smeared with crushed Lyaeus' blood. The sober mean twixt youth and age, more stayed And temperate, in summer's wain, repairs His reverend temples sprinkled with grey hairs; The evening of the year— when the thresht sheave Loseth its grain, and every tree its leaf; When birds do cease their notes And stately forests ●'on their yellow coats When Ceres golden locks are nearly shorn, And mellow fruit from burdened trees are torn; When little lads sit on a bank to shalt Their ripened nuts plucked in the woody vale. That pales the red blush of the summer's face, Tearing the leaves the summer's covering, Three months in weaving by the curious spring The laden boughs With swelling pride crown Autumn's smiling brows, The year in childbed. The teeming year big with her rich increase, Bearing the wanton burden of the prime, Like widowed wombs after their Lord's decease. When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang Upon those boughs that shake against the cold, The twilight of the year. Vertumnus sits and courts his loved Pomona, The cold Autumnal dews are seen To cobweb every green, The sapless branches do'ffe their summer suits, And wean their winter fruits, When stormy blasts enforce the quaking trees To wrap their trembling limbs in mossy freeze, Fair summer's pride gins to fade away, And night ●'encroach upon the hours of day, The time of declination and decay. The flails upon the floor gins to groan Autumn uprears his aged head With timely apples chained. The Lion's flaming main Ripens the fruit, and the full year susteins Her burdened powers. The Autumn with fair Ceres crowned, Now paid the sweaty ploughman's greediest prayer, And by the fall disrobed the gaudy ground Of all her summer ornaments and fair attire. When droop the sweetest flowers, And rivers swollen with pride o'erflow their banks, Poor grows the day of summer's golden hours And void of sap stand Ida's Cedar ranks. The pleasant meadows sadly lay In i'll and cooling sweats, By rising fountains, or as they Feared winters wasteful threats. The clustered grapes swell till their skin Can scarce contain the wine barrelled within, The year is in her pride, And the grape full with wine purples her side, When the clear air keeps a divided seat Affording sometimes cold, and sometimes hear, When an unseen decay, And slow consumption steals the leaves away When every wind in fury beats his stroke, Against the ribs of the broad spreading oak. Awake. With silken wings soft sleep flew from his eyes, Light doth divorce the low and upper lids, The eyes resume their charge. The wakened senses had unlocked the eyes.

Nature's proud Masterpiece, Whom all grow rivals for A thousand Cupids, shoots she from her eyes, Fair, as the dawning morn; The Mine, the Magizin, the Commonwealth of Beanty, The first and best original Of all fair copies. Whose radiant look strikes every gazing eye. Stark blind, and keeps th' amazed beholder under The stupid tyranny of love and wonder. Whose eyes let out more light, than they take in Whose rich beauty lent Mintage to other beauties, for they went But for so much as they were like to her Elixir of all Beauty, Zeuxes, his labour might have saved, And made her stand for all that he did view, When Venus beauteous portraiture he drew Beauty and Virtue have no other sphere, Whose rare composure doth abstract the Story Of true perfection, modelizing forth The height of beauty— in whose face, Nature, and curious Art had done their best To sum that rare perfection, which transcends The power of strong belief. Narcissus' change, sure Ovid quite mistake, He died not, looking in a Crystal brook; But, as those which with emulation gaze, He pined to death by looking on this face, When he stood fishing by some ●ivers brim, The fish would leap, more for a sight of him Than for the fly— The Eagle, highest bred, Was taking him once up for Ganymed. Nature by some device Had to her face transplanted Paradise, A beauty that might free A ravisher, and make adultery No crime at all. Nature did wondering stand At ●er own work. Eclipsing all other objects. The wealth she wore about her seemed to hid, Not to adorn her native beauty's pride; Though there bright Pearls from Erythraean shores. From all the Assyrian lakes, the wealthy store Of silver Ganges, and Hydapses shore, And cheerful Emeralds gathered from the green Arabian rocks were in full splendour seen, Pale Onyx; jasper's of a various die, And Diamonds darkened by her brighter eye, The Sapphires blue, by her more azure veins Hung not to boast, but to confess their stains. The blushing Rubies, seemed to lose their dye, When her more Ruby lips were moving by, It seemed, so well became her all she wore, She had not robbed at all the creatures store, But had been nature's self, there to have showed What she on creatures could or had bestowed; And Jupiter would revel in her bower, Were he to spend another golden shower: Whose eyes dart glowing rays, Would thaw the frozen Russian to lust, And parch the Negro's hotter blood to dust. So the lose Queen of love did dress her eyes In the most taking flame, to win the prize At Ida. The Cynosure of neighbouring eyes, Whose bright eyes rain influence. Oft have we viewed In one heaven many stars, but never yet In one star many heavens till now were met; A breathing Star, His orient cheeks and lips exceeding his, That leapt into the water for a kiss Of his own shadow, and despising many Died, ere he could enjoy the love of any. Had wild Hyppolity this beauty seen Pierced with his darts he had enamoured been, Nature wept when she saw her, as undone, And robbed of all her treasure Aurora took him for her Shafalus Phoebe mistook him for Endymion Venus, for her Adonis, Each wandering eye inflamed that looked upon her; A beauty, in whose radiant eye Love sat enthroned, and full of Majesty Sent forth such glorious eye-surprizing rays That she was thought the wonder of her days, Repress those flames that furnace from thine eye They ravish with too bright a tyranny The Diapason of all symmetry. Incarnate Angel. Mortal Venus' Nature sealed her the Charter at her birth Mirror of heaven, the wonder of the earth, Beauty hath no Exchequer now but him, And proud of many lives upon his gains, And him she stores, to show what wealth she had In days long since: Fairest piece of well formed earth. As if she swayed an Empire in her face, Nature herself, did her own self admire, As oft as she were pleased to attire Her in her native lustre, and confess Her dressing, was her chiefest comeliness, Where every limb takes like a face, One accent from whose lips the blood more warms, Than all Medea's Exorcisms, and charms; He that since nature her great works began, She made to be the mirror of a man; That when she meant to form some matchless limb, Still for a pattern took some part f●om him; And jealous of her cunning, broke the mould In his proportion done the best she could. If he discourse, his lips such accents break; As love turned air, breathes from him, as he speaks. Makes Jove invent a new disguise, In spite of Juno's jealousies; Whose every part doth reinvite ●he cold decayed appetite; ●hich shall be nurse, as Juno swears, ●o the next Cupid that she bear. The only scope ●f men's affections, and their envied hope. If ever jewels had cause to be proud, it was with ●e wearing of them. ●hey took the veil of which her face had hid, ●t which the very air seemed to grow proud, ●s when the Sun new breaks out of a Cloud To shine with greater fulgence: Such the censorious Cynink might affect, Though he had promised abstinence, That bea●s the light about her, and strikes dead With flashes of her eye, Beauty, which might an Angel's envy move Enough for all the ●exe; And make them proud to know 'tis part of hers, Whose fee● print the farewell of all beauty; Beauty to teach beholders chastity. On others, Painters in their pictures bestow beauty; Her beauty bestowed skill on the Painter, The fair Ambassador of a fairer mind. ●. All that beheld her (and all that could, did behold her) made ●heir eyes quick messengers to their minds, to let them know they had seen the uttermost that could be seen, and despair of ever meeting a fairer object. All eyes degenerate from their creation That do not honour and adore her beauty, She apparelled her apparel. Model of Heaven, triumph of Nature, life of Beauty. ●f there be any beauty left in others, it is in their Eyes, to whom her presence hath imparted it: Sometimes mine eyes would lay themselves open To receive all the darts she could throw; Sometimes close up with admiration, As if with a contrary fancy, they would preserve The riches of that sight they had gotten; Or cast my lids, as curtains over that image of beauty, Her presence ●ad printed in them. Beauty in which by all right, all hearts and eyes ●hould be inherited, Which in a definite compass, sets forth infinite beauty. Dead beauty's heir, Each night she impoverisheth her clothes, To enrich her bed, which might well scorn the shrine Of Venus, whose clothes proud to be worn by her Eclipse a sun of beauty. Beauty too much for patiented ●ight Whose face carried such a lightning, As none could look on, nor would look off. Diana apparelld in the garments of Venus, Making each beholding eye A blinded mole, or else a burning fly. Beauty which pictured the curious eye, would repeat An imaginary rapture of some transported Conceit, aiming at in impossibility; Dumb eloquence commanding without authority, And persuading without speaking, Working unwitting effects of wonder. The red and white rose quartered in her face. A face that bears a wanton modesty, and enticing Soberness. Beauty, not to be matched, but by the fairness Of her mind. Where Nature doth with infinite agree The miracle of flesh and blood, Able to make Hercules to turn the spit, and Cleave his club to make the fire; The withered Hermit, fourscore winters worn, Might shake off fifty looking in her eye. Such beauty in her face, As once the daughter of Agenor had, That made great Jove humble him to her hand, When on ●is knees he kissed the Cretan strand Framed in the prodigality of nature, Where every God did seem to set his seal, To give the full assurance of a beauty Beggering all description, Takes prisoner the wild motions of the eye A body so harmoniously composed And so divine a creature As nature seemed to have disclosed All her skill in her feature; Whose form might call The world to wars, and make it hazard all ●is valour for her beauty. The world's ambition, no man desiring further Happiness. Beauty might from him copies take. Which might kindle youthful flames, In men of fourscore, and give fire Again, to their decayed desire Envy bursts, if she espies her, Venus his perfection findeth, And no more Adonis mindeth; Jupiter would court her did he know. To find a shape might tempt such chastity. A look to move The heart of cold Diogenes to love Her eye was such, whose every glance did show, To kindle flames upon the hills of snow, And by her powerful piercings could imprint Or sparkle fire into an heart of flint. Quintessence of beauty— whose beauty might Attract all eyes, and centre humane sight, Pandora without fiction, causing transcendent hea●, And working such insinuaring fire; As stole into each reverend Si●e When beauteous Helen, showed her cheeks Unto the Army of the Greeks. Beauty too rich to use, Whose outside had enough to satisfy The expectation of a curious eye. Self-loved Narcissus, in the mirror Of her fair eyes doth see his error, The Heliotrope which did pursue, Th' adored Sun converts to you Their tops, the Paphian myrtles move Saluting you the queen of love; The Phoenix from the glowing East, With sweets, here builds her tomb and nest: Another Phoenix seen she dies, Burnt into ashes by your eyes, She comes in rich array, Richer in beauty, so they use to say, The stately Naides and Dryads so In Sylvan shades— So The naked Cupid's lively painted show; But lest their habits some distinction make A quiver give, or his from Cupid take The ambient air's proud to embrace her limbs, She might have Nectar filled in Hebe's stead, And he supli'de th' Idaean Ganymed His visage decked With rofie rays of youth and sweet aspect, So looked Aeneas, from the breaking cloud decked by his mother, in that dusky shroud; So Helen looked, when on the Scaean towers, She did inflame the aged Counsellors; Whilst Paris, and her Menelaus fight, And weary fetch new courage from her ●ight Whose beauty feasts the amorous eye. So beautified for form exact, That nature to a miracle was racked In her perfection blazed with'th ' eyes of men That made of all the country's heart a chain And drew them suitors to her, All the beauties of the Spring, Are but her ●oyles, Whose eyes wound there where Cupid's shafts do miss So fair, and so divine a feature. That envies self could not but dote upon her, Heaven could not choose but be enamoured on her When she was born, nature in sport began To learn the cunning of an Artisan. And did Vermilion with a white compose To mock herself, and paint a damask risen; But scorning Nature unto Art should seek, She spilt her colours on this maiden's cheeks; Whose lily white, inshaded with the rose Had that man seen that sung th' Aeneidos Dido, had in oblivion, slept and she Given his Muse her best eternity, Had brave Atrides who did erst employ His force to mix his dead with those of Troy, Been proffered for a truce, her feigned peace Helen had stayed, and that had gone to Greece. Sweetness truth and every grace Which time and use are wont to teach, The eye may in a moment reach, And read distinctly in her face. whose cheerful ray, Can turn the saddest night to day. More fair than she that filled the cup To the great thunderer, wounding with her eyes More hearts than all the troops of deities. As fair and lovely as a goddess, she If such, as hers a goddess beauty be, Had Venus past that way and seen him lie, She would have sworn, had she not seen him dead, It her Adonis were, or if there was The transmigration of Pythagoras, Of souls; for then certain her lost loves spirit, A fai●er body never could inherit. Fairer far Than he whose chastity made him a star, Hippolytus, To whom the Queen of love Served for a foil, and Cupid could no other Than fly to her mistaken for his mother, Whose body all the graces hath engrossed. Nature made And gave the damask risen its pleasant grace, That men might liken somewhat to her face, ●ove therefore blinded Cupid, lest that he Should see her, and so love mortality; The fairest creature ever eye Beh●ld, or yet put on mortality The maiden lilies at her lovely sight Wax●pale with envy, and from thence grew white, Aurora blushed at such a sight unknown, To see those cheeks were redder than her own.

Sweeping their honey from perfumed flowers Which in the prime of May, By sunshine through the slowry meadows stray, When they produce their young, or store their hive With liquid honey, or their cabins stive With pleasant Nectar, when they take the loads Which others bring, or chase from their abodes The lazy drone. The busy buzzing swarms. Hot grows the waxy work, and sweet their smells From their mellifluous, odoriferous cells. Honey people. The busy buzzers with the Cypress wings. That fly over painted fields with nimble wing, Deflowering the fresh virgins of the spring, That on mount Hybla ply their husbandry. The murmuring ●●oopes within their waxed homes, Some with laden thighs Take charge to bear their waxy butthens home Others receive the welcome load, and some Dispose the wax, others the plot contrive, Some build the curious comb, some guard the hive Like armed sentinels, others distrein The puret honey from the wax, some train, And discipline the young, whilst others drive The sluggish drones from their deserved hive. Thus in the commonwealth untaught by art, Each winged burger acts his busy part. The thrifty people that exact and earn Their sweet provision, and with laden thighs Bear home their weary burdens. Who th'Aristaean busy swarms have seen On Hybla's top, whether with lancelets keen, Charging the drones which over near their home, Come humming out to rob their fragrant comb, Whether collecting their delicious dew, From various thyme and other flowers not few Whether extending in rare symmetry With wondrous art their waxed canopy, And arching even, so many thousand cells, Whether conducting their too full supplies, Elsewhere to plant their goodly colonies. Creatures that by a rule in nature teach The act of order to a peopled kingdom Where some like Magistrates correct at home, Other like merchants venture trade abroad, Others like soldiers armed in their stings Make booty on the summer's velvet buds, Which pillage they with merry march bring home To the tent royal of ●heir Emperor, Who bu●ied in his majesties surveys. The singing masons building roofs of gold. The civil citizens kneading up the honey. The poor mechanic porters crowding in Their heavy burdens at the narrow ga●e. The sad-eyed justice with his surly hum, Delivering over to executioners. The lazy yawning drone. So painful bees with forward gladness strive To join themselves in throngs before the hive. And with obedience till that hour attend, When their commander shall his watchword send, Then to the winds their tender sails they yield, Distress the flowers, depopulate the fields. Bed.

Vermilion spring, The red-sea of the lesser world, active torrent. Blush. The Virgin-die, the rosie-blush; ensign of modesty; And in her blushes Lies modesty, as in a bed of Coral; So blushed Calisto, and the Virgin crew, When in the fount Jove's rape on her they knew. So blushed Diana, when Actaeon saw Her naked in the fount, to die the cheeks in blushes. Such is the colour which the Clouds adorn, Shot by the Sunbeams, or the rosie-morn; Venus so blushed when she was found By all the gods in bed with Mars, and bound In Vulcan's net. So apples show upon the sunny side, So Ivory with rich Vermilion died, So pure a red, the silver-moon doth slain, Then when the beaten brass do sound in vain Even so the purple morning paints the skies, Her face fl●sht with embosomed flames. The rosy dye that decks the morn's uprise Flushed in her face. Her virtuous blood. Struck with respective shame. So looks the Rose, When she her taintless beauty doth disclose, She looked out And all the Air, she purpled round about. Clad all in Crimson, shame sits in her cheeks, Her cheeks struck with a rosy red, As setting Suns do give unto the west When morning tempests are prefigured, vermilion, signal in a guilty che●k Warm blood upon the guilty cheek, Her cheeks a deaper scarlet were Than the chaste morning's blush, Life's blood, which from the heart is sent In beauteous field, pitcheth high crimson Tent In lovely sanguine suits, the Lily cheek, Whilst it but for a resting place do●h seek And changing oftentimes with sweet delight, Converts the white to red, the red to white, The lovely blush, the paleness doth distain; The paleness makes the bush more fair again. Have ye beheld when fresh Aurora's eye Sends forth her early b●●ms, and by and by Withdraws the glory of her face, and shrowds Her cheeks behind a ruddy mask of clouds, Such were her looks. Have you beheld when Titan's lustful head Hath newly dived into his sea-green bed With Thetis, how the bashful Horizon Enforced to see, what should be seen by none, Looks red for shame, and blusheth to discover, Th' incestuous pleasures of the heavenborn lover, A sweet Vermilion tincture stained The bride's fair cheeks, the more that she restrained Her blush, the more her disobedient blood, Did overflow, as if a second flood Had meant to rise, and for a little space, To drown that world of beauty, in her face; The ruby flames do flush Into their faces, with a modest blush, Cheeks with kindly claret spread Aurora like, new out of bed. O● like the fresh Queen-apples side, Bl●shing at sight of Phoebus' pride, Her cheeks in red letters writ more, Then her tongue could speak. The modest evidence of inward virtue, A blush, modest as morning, when she coldly eyes, The youthful Phoebus.

That talks of nothing but stoccadoes, and circumvallations, and studies hard words in other countries, to fright poor folks with them at home; That hath got a dozen of dangerous words, How he might hurt his enemy if he durst; That brag to Stars, And tell to bushes, what they do in wars.

Comes stealingly out, as if it seemed loath to come forth from so delicious a mansion, but that it hoped to be drawn in again to that well closed Paradise. Which seemed to purge the Air of pestilence; The Air respires the pure Elysian sweets, In which she breathes. Airy amber Making even Sryx breath balm, and Phlegeton, Exhale perfumes of Musk and Cinnamon; And could she love the damned, might expel, The stench of Tartar, and make heaven in hell. Breath-stinking. v. Stinking. But for her breath, (Spectators come not ●igh) It lays about. God bless ●he company, The man in the Beares-skin, baited to death, Would choose the dogs much rather than her breath One kiss, and eighteen words of her alone, Puts down the Spanish Inquisition; Thrice blessed we (quoth ●) when I think on The former days of Persecution; For were it free to kill this grisly elf, Would Martyrs make, in compass of herself, And were she not prevented by our prayer, By this time, she corrupted had the Air; Would she use a medicine for her teeth, She were the better to speak to in the morning.

Bright as the Sun doth rise, after the night He calls ● ' account, the Moon for all the light She ever borrowed, and hath all repaid, As Sol obscured in shrouds Of exhalations breaks through vanquished clouds, As when the Sun subduing by his rays The muffling clouds, his golden brow displays, So shone Aeneas golden tree, As makes a day● of night. Bright as that star that last forsakes the skies That bears a light able to check the dark More bright Than is the starry senate of the night Brighter than the day Or new raised Phoebus in his morning-ray The Sun holds down his head for shame, Dead with Eclipses, this when we but name, Shining as fair As Cynthia burnished in her brother's hair, As may challenge the brightest day, the clearest Diamond.

Like the Palace of the Sun, Like that wherein Her Caesar Cleopatra entertained, When from Pharsalia, he in Egypt gained A second victory, All showed the bvilders, craved the seers care Th'amazed beholders wondering eyes, Were taken captive at the sight. The Camfred pillars, plinths, and antic bosses, Medals, ascents, statues, and strange Colossuses Which buss the clouds, kiss their own feet at last Buried in their own dust. And nod their drowsy heads unto the ground, Those lasting monuments, Where Mars with Venus dwells, Beauty with strength. Burden. Typhon bears not a greater load Who under all Trinacria's weight doth groan, Ovid. 5. Metam. Nor Hercules, when he did Atlas' ease. A lighter burden makes old Atlas shrink His pressed shoulders That makes the earth groan to support its weight A load Liburnian porters could not bear, Such once Typhaeus bore when as he lay Under the weight of all Trinacria His burly legs set in the massy stocks, Of the great high-browd Lilybaean rocks. To bury. Whose bones Are raked up in a cold heap of stone. To tomb a corpse with solemn obsequies, To lay them where they must Measure their cold proportion in the dust To make them lie In the hard loding of mortality, To bring them to their latest home, To lay them in their silent monument, That quiet closet of content Raked up in deaths cold embers; To lay The liveless body in a bed of clay, Laid in his sable chest.

THe fear and shame of the Aventine wood Mulciber's thievish son, who stole away The beasts, which with their lowing him betray, The fire-breathing thief, that with the Air Belched from his mouth, burnt up the fruitful fields, Whose filthy face was in so black a plight, Sols radiance could never give it light; Fresh murders still lay reeking on his floor, And heads of murdered men besmeared in gore v. Virgil Aeneiad. 8. Vulcan's great son, whom stout Alcides' hands Slew, and squetzd out his fiery eyes. Cain. v. Cruel. Abel. The first that did imbrue His hands in blood, and with one murder slew The fourth part of the world. He that gave Death his first handsel. He that the the first Martyr made. Calm. When not a wrinkle seen on Thetis face, And so much breath as with a gentle gaile, May cause an easy swelling of the sail Jove's eg-born issue smile upon the flood; And with their milder aspect do appear, To be a warrant from all future fear Smooth as a Lady's glass, or what shines there, The Sea was now. As when the Halcyon harcheth on the sand Neptune his trident lays aside, And Triton his loud sounding shell inspires, Giving the waves a signal to retire, The smother waves glide slowly. Calmer far Than in their sleeps forgiven hermits are. The Haltion sits upon her floating nest Seven winter days with peaceful calm possessed, Then safely sail, than Aeolus incaves The justling winds, and smooths the stooping waves. The drowsy winds do sleep. All the sea prostrate in soft slumbers slept, A calm so gentle that no air Breathes strong enough to stir a virgin's hair. The courteous sea Did smooth his wrinkled brow, the winds did sleep, And only whispered music to the deep. When seas and winds are silenced by a calm The seas flat face now all becalmed lies, Like standing pools, no waves or billows rise. The bridled sea stands, and obserurs no more Her ancient course, she had forgot to roar, No tides flow to and fro, nor seems the sun To dance upon the water's motion, No winds then wrestled. Her waves the tired main, By the winds leave composed and smoothed again. The heavens and seas put on their robes Of settled motions. When Triton drives his blue steeds ●re the seas. Calm winds have smoothed the seas rough brow. The waves were all at peace. The flagging mainsail flapt against her yard, The useless compass and the idle card Were both neglected upon every side, The gamesome Porpoyse tumbled on the tide, Grim Neptune wiped his foamy mouth, Held his tridented M●ce upon the south. The whispering winds do tell their tale In such a breath as may but fill a sail. No winds but such as rock the waves asleep. The smooth ●ac'd Keptune with his gladder smiles Visits the banks of his beloved Is●●s, The winds retire and sink into their sea●, And sea-green Triton sounds a shrill retreat. When the ships glide upon the sleeping wave, The smiling Nymphs dance upon the rising wave, The wind courts the sails. The sea Wears brows as smooth as virgins be, Tempting the Merchant to invade his face. The winds were like a servant waiting on them, So just that they might fill the sails as they listed. Old Nere●es on his Dolphin rides, Presenting bridles to direct the tides. No wind rebels. The air was calm, and on the level brine, Slick Panope with all her sisters played, As still as midnight were the sullen waves, And Neptune's silver-ever-shaking breast, As smooth as when the Haltion builds her nest, None other wrinkles on his face were seen Than on a fertile mead or sportive green, Where never plough share ripped his mother's womb, To give an aged seed a living tomb. The winds with wonder whist Sweetly the waters kissed, Whispering new joys to the mild Ocean, Who now hath quite forgot to rave, Whilst birds of calm sit brooding on the charmed wave. Nor blinded Mole the battening earth ere stirred, Nor boys made pitfalls for the hungry bird. The whistling reeds upon the water's side Shot up their sharp heads in a stately p●ide, And not a binding Osier bowed his head, But on his root him bravely carried, No dandling leaf played with the subtle air, So smooth the Sea was, and the sky so fair. Cameleon. Those foodless creatures fed by air alone, Which every colour that they touch put on. Cancer. The spreading cancer scorning helpless art, Creeps from the infected to the sounder part●. Candles. On guilded yards lightbearing cressets hung, Which sullen night subdue with flaring beams, Domestic stars. Tallow stars. In golden lamps the lights are placed round, And make a forced day the night confound. The house stars. The candle sleepy grew and winked. Care. Careful. Swarms of perplexing care buzz in his brain. A studious care boiled in his zealous mind. The thief of youth and beauty, tempest of the soul. Perplexing and enaging cares That without years can snow down silver hairs. The Chaos of the mind, the noise, the tumult of the thoughts, Tempest of the troubled mind. Unquiet thoughts. The journey of the head. Millions of cares Beats on the anvil of my poor weak head. My heart's an anvil hammered by my thoughts. My head's a crazy hive for swarms of thoughts Which have more sting than honey. Care seeks out wrinkled brows and hollow eyes, And builds himself caves to abide in them, Swarms of buzzing cares hive in his head. Carrier. A man unlearned and yet a man of letters. His own hackney man, letting himself out to travel as well as his horses. The ordinary Ambassador betwixt friend and friend. A great afflicter of high ways. To Carry away violently. To trail, hale, drag, hurry. To hurry with them like the spreading flood. R●pt as a ship upon the high wrought flood. By savage tempests chased, which in despair The Pilot leaveth to the Gods and prayer, As when by Ganges flood, A Tiger drags a fawn through silent woods. Castle. v. Building. Safe for defence, And sweetly wanton with magnificence. With all the cost and cunning beautified That adds to state, where nothing wants but pride, Castor and Pollux. Jove's egge-borne issue.

Helen's fair brothers, whom mariners invoke, When the victorious waves their ships have broke, The famous Argonauts. Caucasus. The Scythians snowy mountains on whose top Prometheus growing liver feeds the Crop Of Jove's great bird. Inhospitable rock Whose craggy sides have oft endured the shock Of the fierce north. Which with less distance looks at heaven by far, And with more large proportion shows the stars. Cave. Under the hollow hanging of this hill There was a cave cut out by nature's skill, Or else it seemed the mount did open his breast, That all might see what thoughts he there possessed, Whose gloomy entrance was environed round With thick set trees, etc. In which not cheering light At all ere peeped but sad and dreary night, A squalid filth and moldinesse had made, From whence exhaled stenches did invade The upper air,— There's bread by dreary night. Pale moldy filth, and darkness sad, no light. But light by Magic made ere shined there A deep black cave low in the earth is found, Whose duskic entrance like pace Morpheus cell, With strange Meanders windeth under ground, Where sooty darkness evermore doth dwell. With torches now attempting the sad cave, Which at their entrance seemeth in a fright At the reflection, that the brightness gave, As till that time it never saw the light. Centaurs. Wretched Ixion's shaggie-footed race. The cloud born issue. Which first bestrid the horse. Cerberus. That scolding cur who barking shakes About his triple brows Medusa's snakes. The dreadful dog of hell. The viper curled dog. The triple headed cut that shakes His dreadful main curled with hissing snakes. His d●reful head With hundred snakes encompassed.

Begot by Proteus on a Chameleon. B●got in the change of the moon. Engendered by the wind and weathercock. A Prot●us that can take What shape he please and in an instant make H●ms●lf to any thing, be that or this, By voluntary Metamorphosis. As Vertumnus. Waxing and waning an hundred times in a minute, As the mother of Talegonus. Such Metra daughter to the hungry king, More unconstant than the giddy wave, As pliant wax still new impressions takes, Whose resolutions air, So lose and easy that a ruffling wind Can blow away. More than Proteus or the subtle race Of Polypus, who roving, to rob more Transform them hourly to the wavie shore; whose minds In various change strive to outvie the winds, That tread on globes and circles, The apes of fortune that desire to be Resolved on as ●ickle wheels as she. The planets at their birth which rulers were, Were all irregular, Whose mids change oftener than the Greek could dream. That made the Metempsychosed soul his theme The tide of minds. I wonder his soul finds not some way to kill his body, to which it hath been so long united. Begot when the moon was in conjunction, and all the other planet's drunk at a morris dance. A skittish mind, as if their souls were made of changeable taffeta. Their mind is always like the moon in her last quarter, ever upon the change. That may contend for varying shapes With the blue Proteus, or the horned flood. Chaos. v. Confused. That undigested lump, and barren load, Where jarring seeds of things ill-joyned abode. v. Ovid. 1.

With yawning swallow Sups up huge waves which broken in do follow, And thrice again disgorgeth them on high, Dashing its wavie vomit to the sky. . As the sweet dew that loads the heads. Of drooping flowers. All her kisses do speak her virgin. The blushes of her cheeks speak innocence. Warmed with a bashful hea●. Call snow unchaste, and say the ice is wanton, if she be so. as the maiden blossoms of a rose. Sweet as the spring it buds in. The Phoenix self although but one may sooner be no virgin. as the Nuns first vow, as the cold hermits cell. as the bashful morn. as the vows of Nuns or Anchorites prayer. Whose beauty is the shrine of chastity. Immured in snow, whose greatest hea● is like to that faint light. The glowworm shoores at the cold breast of night. Cloystered in ice. That in her lily bosom wears The spotless flower of whi●e chastity, Whose cool thoughts feel no hot desires, That serve not Venus flames but Vesta's fires. As chaste as ice such as were never seen In wanton dalliance, such as until death Never smelled any but their husband's breath. lucrece, Diana, Penelope, Vestals, Sabine women. ●ato, Hippolytus, Curius. J●piter would court her did he know A shape whereby to tempt such chastity. Her lips in pure and vestal modesty Still blush as thinking their own kisses sin. You may sooner tempt A votary, or move a Scythian rock, Than shoot a fire into her chaster breast. A Camphire constitution. Fit for the golden age and Saturn's reign. Almost afraid to lie with herself. as the hardened rock. Whose kisses were so chaste, that love seemed to play there without darts. as the eyes of turtles. Diana apparelled in the garments of Venus, such a wanton modesty she had, and enticing soberness. A breast as cold as hemlock. One whose blood is snow-broth, who never feels The wanton stings and motions of the sense. as the unblown bud. Whose lips blush at their own sweet kisses. as a picture cut in Alabaster. As Ysickles That curdled by the frost from purest snow, And hang in Diana 's Temple. She was always hidden either under a veil, or in her chamber, and all the world might suspect he● to be fair, but there was scarce any knew it, bu● her mother. In Crystal chains All love is bound within her icy veins, Like tapers on the altar shine her eyes, Her breath as the perfume of sacrifice. as the air, Holy Nuns breath in prayer. Cheeks. Two banks of fairest flowers Enriched with sweetness from the twilight showre● Whereon those jars which were so often bred, Composed are betwixt the white and red. Those plots where half-rosed lilies lie, Not one by art but nature's industry. Each Indie in each cheek— where met Vermilion with a silver tincture set, Cheeks lightly stained with red, Like spotted marble newly polished, which enclose The smiling ●ulip, and carnation risen Beauty, times stern rage to shun, In her cheeks lilies hide her from the sun, When she meant to triumph in her May, Made that her E●st, and there she broke her day, Cheeks in which two pits do lie, To bury those slain by her eye. Cheeks with kindly claret spread Aurora like new out of bed. Either cheek discloses, Mingled baths of milk and ●oses. Or like the fresh Queen apples side, Blushing at sight of Phoebus' pride, Blushing lilies, where scarlet were a blot, Aurora blushed at such a sight unknown Seeing those cheeks were redder than her own. Transplanted Paradise. Beauty's tempe. Elysium. Have you seen carnation grow Fresh blushing through new flakes of snow, Have you seen with more delight A red rose growing through a white, Have you seen the pretty gleam That the strawberry leaves in cream, Such was the tincture of her cheeks. Child. v. Infant. A man in a small letter. Nature's short hand. Stenography. The best copy of Adam before he tasted Eve or the apple. Nature's best picture newly drawn, which time and much handling dims and defaces. Whose souls white paper is yet unscribled with observations of the world, wherewith at length it becomes a blurred notebook. Who yet knows no evil, nor hath made means by sin to be acquainted With misery. All the language he speaks is tears, and they serve well to express his necessity. His hardest labour is his tongue, as if he were loath to use so deceitful, an organ, and he is best company with it, when he can but ●rattle. His father's little S●ory, wherein he reads those days of his life, ●he cannot remember, and sighs to se● what innocency he hath ●out-liv'd. In his purity, and simplicity, he is the Christians example, and the old man's relapse. Can he put off his body with his little coat, he had got eternity without a burden, and exchanged one heaven for another. Like his first father, he is worse in his breeches. He wears his dagger m●zzled, lest it should by't his master. With Child. The pregnant womb grows heavy, and requires Lucina's aid. A team of harnessed Peacocks fiercely draw Her fiery Chariot from the flitting sky, Wherein there sat the glorious Majesty Of great Saturnia, on whose train attended An Host of Goddesses; Juno descended From out the flaming Chariot and blest The painful womb. The plenteous womb, Expresseth her full tilth and husbandry, The ripe burden stretched the heavy womb. When nature quickens in the pregnant womb Her wishes past, and now her hope, to come. Children. The unprized treasure, Of the chaste womb, the pledges of the loving bed, Those little models of ourselves, The lesser volumes, Epitomies of their parents Strong knots of love. Nature's common, but rarest blessing, Traduction of ourselves. Chiron. Achilles' two-shapt Tumour, He that taught stout Peleus' son the way, How with delight upon the Harp to play, He that great Aesculapius' Physic taught, And learned Alcides his Astrology, The glittering Archer in the Zodiac. Christs-Cross. Dry leaveless trunk on Golgotha. Choleric. v. Angry. A man made out of fire. A wasp, Whose every humour is turned into choler; Choler lies in him like lees in wine, The least motion of the vessel makes them rise up, Like a thatched house, quickly on fire, Like gummed velvet quickly fretted, Cha●ing, as if they were rubbed with soap. Chemic. Alchemist. The subrle Chemic doth d●evest, And strip the creature naked, till he find The sallow principles within their nest Admitted to Nature's bed-chumber; The Alchemists that choke Themselves with fumes, & waste their time in smoke, That teach dull nature what her own forces are; The sooty tribe, whose ingenious itch Makes them grow poor, by studying to be rich. Close. v. Embrace. Close as the griping fist, or cherry lips Of happy lovers in their melting sips, Close as two Oysters, Cockles. Cloud. The waves, the surges, billows of the Air●, The suns dusky robes. The dropping wings, The watery curtains of the Heavens. The misty cloak, Heaven's muffler, maskie, vail, scarf, wa●ry, tiffany, Heaven's mourning clothes, Heaven's silk Cypress, Those rolling waves, floods, billows of the skies; Such clouds Jove made when he Wrested from Jo, her virginity. The dusky muffled sky, The pitchy shroud, heavens gloomy mask, Those waves of thickened Air. The frowns of discontented Heaven, The thickened Air that steals away the sky Thick Air doth chok the jarring heavens The gloomy bosom of the cloud, Whose gloomy darkness shroud Heaven's lamps— the wave-embatteld shrouds Brought from the sea on Eurus wings, Blue curtains, mixed of Aire and Water; The hoorders up of Rain, That in their melting bosoms hug the sun, And smother up the struggling light. The treasure-house of showers, The magizines of Snow and Rain. Cock. The watchful-bird, crest-people, feathered King, The peasants trusty clock, Aurora's trumpeter, The morning's watch. The feathered Bellman of the night The feathered Prophet of approaching light. The Bellman of the morn Summoning, light up with his bugle horn, The native Bellman of the night, Startles the Moon, and wakes the drowsy morn. The bird that warned Peter of his fall. The trumpet of the day, That with his lofty, and shrill-sounding throat Awakes the day, and makes the erring ghosts Hast to their confines, The husband Cock looks out, and straight is sped Meeting his wife, which brings her featherbed, That wakes the morn, With bird of flesh, and mouth of horn. Cock fight. The Cocks do fight Bristling their plumes, and red with fury smite With spurs, and beak-bounding at every blow, With fresh assaults, freshing their fury so, That desperate in their unyielding wrath Nothing can end their deadly feud, but death. The Lords about, that on both sides do bet, Look partially, when one the field shall get, And trampling on his gaudy plumed pride, His prostrate ●o, with bloody spurs bestride, With clanging trumpets, and with clapping wing, Triumphantly his victory to sing: Cold. Frosty, frost-bit, i'll, frozen, congealed, Northern, bleak, Where men's breath doth instantly congeal, And atomed mists turn instantly to hail Colder than Salamanders. As cold as Alpin snow Cold as Lycaeus that P●ne-bearing mount, As snowy Haemus, or cold Rhodope. As mountain ice, which the North-winds, Congeal to purest Crystal; Cold as the frozen zone, Whose hair with isickles are hung, And chattering teeth confound the useless tongue, Cold as the breath of winter; as Apennine Where the hills active coldness doth go near To freeze the frosty sun within his spear, Cold as the top of snowy Algidus; Cold as the feet of rocks. Cold as the Goat, or rough Sarmatian, As Pindus' frozen tops, Cold as the frozen Muscovite. Coloured. Streaked, stained, smeared, speckled, f●eckled, tinctured, varnishe, pied, which nature died, In more eye-pleasing hues, and richer grain, Then Iris bow attending April's rain Nor can the Peacock in his spo●ted train, So many pleasing colours show again, As in the Rainbows many-colured hue Here we see watchet deepned with a blue, There a dark tawny with a pu●ple mixed, Yellow, and flame, with streaks of green betwixt A bloody stream into a blushing run, And ends still with the colour, which begun, Drawing the deeper to a lighter stain Bringing the lightest, to the deep'st again, With such rare Art each mingleth with his fellow, The blue with watchet green, and red with yellow; Like to the changes which we daily see About the Doves neck with variety, Where none can say, although it strict he tends Here one gins, and there the other ends. Combat. v. War. Redoubled-blowes Fall like amazing thunder on his cask Like Perseus on his Pegasus. To Come. To arrive a●. When scarce her feet had touched the beachy shore By free force of her palfrey wan Access to th●●own: Till they with pacing won The steepness of the hill, when their travel had attained With weary steps they conquer all the way. Comet. It flew, And after it long blazing tresses drew The curled star that from his head throws out A thousand sparks, fatal torch, hairy lamps. On whose pale flame an angry spirit flies The shooting stars that glide, With bloody-beams. The bristled stars, ●n flaming letters writ sad destiny. The dismal star That threats the world with famine, plague, or wa●: The Star that wears a beard of flame, The Autumnal ruddy streaming S●ar Presageing famine, pestilence and war; importing change of Times and S●ates; Brandish their Crystal tresses in the sky, Heaven's dreadful heralds, whose shagged portent Foretells the coming of some dire event. Torchbearers to a royal funeral, Il-boding lights: Those blazing stars that show A Prince's death, or fatal overthrow Of prosperous States, The fa●al ushers of calamity, The flaming Heralds, Harbinger of vengeance. To Compass. Impale, engird, environ, encircle, girdle, surround, swath, swaddle, ●all about, hem in, inlinke, sphere, hoop garter. A Compass. Circumference, circle, incirelet, surrounding, verge, boundry, sphere, orb, round model, cope, circuit, enclosure. Confused. As the first Choas, ere division wrought An harmony, and to proportion brought The seeds of discord, undistinguished Conquer. v. Victory. Triumph. Who wears the Laurel planted on his brow, Who with his conquests cloyed the jaws of death, Sing Pansies, and thy brows with Laurel bind, A full and perfect conquest was obtained, That for the sword no further work remained, On the glittering ●rest I see The glorious garland of the conquest born, While feather-footed fame before us flies Upon the golden wings of honour born, Whom victory convoys. Crowned with the Garland of her golden hair On whose glittering crest The glorius garland of the conquest rests Bright conquest shines upon his sword. Conscience. The souls pulse, eternal alarm, ever-barking-dog The black-book, the hateful register. The terror of the astonished soul. The tempest of the mind, That well-kept Register, wherein is writ All ill, men do, all goodness they omit His pallid fears, his sorrows, his affrightings, His late wished had I wists, remorseful, bitings The witness executioner and Judge. Justice bedchamber. The King of Heaven's Attorney General. Consider. To look on a thing with a serious eye With instructed, judging eyes to view To take a narrow view. Constant. Whom neither fear nor favour can Wrist from his thoughts, and make him less a man, Whom neither force nor fawning can Unpin, or wrench, from giving all their due Whose honesty is not So lose or easy, that a ruffling wind Can blow away, or glittering look it blind, Who rides his sure and even troth While the world now rides by, now lags behind, Whom nothing can procure, When the wide world runs bias, from his will To writh his limbs and shake, A man of firm resolves, firm as the centre, Unmoved, as the poles; Bold hands as some might hope to force The rolling light of Heavens, as change her course. Consume. Languish, waste, melt, thaw, decay, That with a slow infection melts away Like ice, before the Sun's uncertain ray. Corn. Ceres' goldy lo●ks, treasure. The pride of Ceres' plain. The Ploughman's hope and long expected gain. Covetous. A mole. A son of earth that digs his mother's entrails To turn up treasure, A rich beggar troubled with Midas itch A sucking sponge, one that sits brooding o'er his bag's Thief to himself. A dunghill wretch, muck-worm Grown poor by getting riches, his own torture A rust unto himself, as to his gold, That spider-like doth spin a web of gold, Out of his own bowels-only knows the care And another the use of gold, scraping dust-worm, That starves at feasts, and in the Rivers thirsts, Whose wretched mind bends to no point but this, That who have most of wealth, have most of bliss Volopone's. Armed with hooking tentors, and clad in birdlime That scrape like dunghill Cocks in dirt and mire To find the gem, they know not how to use Golds dropsied Er●sycthous. Like Dypsa's thirst, Is never satisfied, unless it burst. Ever hungry, till he surfeits Wealths horseleeches that ever crave So much the more, the more they have, Whose droyling hands thinks nothing can supply The greedy wants of his insatiate eye. Nought can fill Th' unfathomed gulf of his insatiate will. The picture of miserable happiness, and rich beggary; Such an one, as an enemy could not wish him worse, than to be himself; doing any thing to get that which he is determined, when it is gotten never to use. Rich fools, whose base and filthy heart Lies hatching still the goods wherein they flow, And damning their own selves to Tantal's smart, Wealth breeding want, more wretched grow, A chiverel conscience, that will stretch to hold more, Base stooping souls, that grovel on the earth, That think heaven for gold an easy mortgage: One that could love God well, if there were an L. more in h●● name. One that hath coffined up his soul in his chest before his body, whom upon any payments wrested from him, the charges of ● rope, merely keeps from hanging himself. Like a dog in a wheel, toils to roast meat for others eating, freezing before the fire, whilst he fears to be burnt, if he come nearer it. That could be content to have both his eyes pluck● out, so he might have gold put in the holes. Court. The place of glorious troubles, empty fallacies, Falls delights, the shine of kings, envies hatching place, Where rules of State, and Ceremonies are Observed so seriously, that I must dance, And act o'er all the compliments of France, And Spain, and Italy, before I can Be taken for a well-bred Englishman. Upstart Courtier. v. Fantastic. The silken youths of Court, great Atlas of the State, That an high sail of honour bear Using the fine Rhetoric of clothes, To win esteem, serious glorious fools, Court ear-wigs, wriggling to the ear of greatness Gaudy nothings. That can speak a tedious piece of nothing, Vary his face, as Seamen do their Compass; Made of nothing but antic clothes and cringes, Signs of men, court bubbles, Gaudy glow-worms, carrying seeming fire, Fine clothes, with a bad lining. Barrels of others wit, His word like a fantastical banquet, just so many Strange dishes. A child of fancy, Pedlars of wit, That speak taffatie phrases. Mushroom gentlemen, That shoot up in a night to place and worship The glittering Courtier that in tissue stalks, That wear a Pedlar's shop about them Like the Cynnamon-tree-bark more worth than the body. Like the Bird of Paradise feathers, more wor●h than the flesh. Living under the tyranny of Ceremonies. Perfumed silkworms. Inferior orbs directed by the motion of higher spheres. Living by the refl●ction of higher substances, Can better exchange a piece of gold than of reason. Such a man as his tailor pleaseth to shape him, Putting much of his judgement away about the situation of his . There is a confederacy between him and his clothes, betwixt them to make up a puppy. Proud of the rattling of his silks, (clothes being the remembrances of lost innocency) like a mad man that laughs at the rattling of his ●etters. Coward v. Br●gadochio. A son of fear, whose blood is whey. A full bubble, a valiant vanity. That in high terms can swear down fortresses, And spoil the enemy before he sees him. Whose spiri●'s only active in his he●l. One that hath indented with the grave to bring all his limbs thither. A Carpet knight. That date do nought but fear. Possessed with an ignominious fear. That manhood only by their beard bewray. Alivel●sse damp beleaguers every joint, as oft he 'swounds As ere he views his sword or thinks on wounds. That swings his sword about his head and cuts The empty air, which h●sseth him in scorn. Ready to run away from himself, like the satire that ran away a●● the noise of the noise of the horn which he himself blew. Looks as if his eyes would run into his soul, and his soul out of his body upon the least sent of danger. Cast●ng such unlikely dangers, as all the planets together could ●●arce conspire. Clinias. Damaetas. ●hersites. A valiant voice, that is resolved to have his sword never cursed by any widow. H●s blcod not daring to be in so dangerous a place went out of his face, and hid itself more inwardly, and his very words as if afraid of blows came slowly from him. Afraid of his own sword he wears, and affrighted wi●h the clashing, of his own armour. Whose feet is his best defence, and his tongue his best weapon. A dish of skimmed milk. Tost and butter. That fear the report of a caliver. Worse than a st●uck fool, or hurt wild-duck. The fanning of his enemy's plume would nod him in●o despair. Cream-faced fellow, lilly-liverd, whey-face, linn●n che●kes, pigeonliverd. That wears all his daggers in his mouth, And will see his sister sooner naked than a sword. His blood runs thick, as if it would blot a sword. Prometheus was a sleep while his heart was making, and forgot to put fire in it. If once his eye be struck with terror, all the costick physic in the world cannot stay him. Wonderful, exceptious and choleric, where he sees men are lo●● to give him an occasion, and you cannot pacify him better than by quarrelling with him. Whom when he is most hot, you may easily threaten into a very honest quiet man. The sight of a sword wounds him more sensible than the stroke, every man is his master that dare beat him, and every man dares that knows him. He is a Christian merely for fear of hell fire, and if any religion could fright him more, he would be of that. Such as would conquer victory itself, if it stood in their way as they fly. Loving to show a nature steeped in the gall of passion, display the ignoble tyranny of prevailing discords, being valiant against no resistance, and making no resistance when they meet true valour. That would sooner creep into a scabbard, than draw a sword, and endure a bullet than shoot of a musket. Coy. A piece of pettish, froward, wanton anger. Such as possessed Narcissus. Possessed with savage chastity. Coy as the plant Pud●setan, That shrinks at the approach of man. Rustic chastity. Discourteous modesty. That as long as they are chaste, think they may be discourteous, And lawfully scratch men, if they do not kiss them. Consume their own Idolater. Of such a goddess no time gives record, That burns the temple where she is adored. Crafty. The subtle fox. Hyoena, Crocodile, and all beasts of craft, Have been distilled to make one nature up. Volpone. Cranes. That watchful fowl, the Pigmies enemy. Direct their flight on high, And cut their way they in a trigon ●ly, Which pointed figure may with ease divide, Opposing blasts through which they swiftly glide, Which with loud clangors fill the ●kie When they from cold and stormy winter fly Tothth' Ocean and that airs more temperate breath, Inflicting on the Pigmies wounds and death. The Thracian fowl, which with their loud alarmed Make little Pigmies soldiers run to arms. Strimon●an birds in Pigmies death rejoice, And tear the air before them with their voice. Which while they sleep make one keep sentinel. P●lamedes ●utors. Which by their flying taught Him letters, and his warlike discipline. Credulous. A man of easy confidence, of rash belief, That hath the only disadvantage of an honest heart. To Cry out, v. Noise. To rive, ●ear the air with cries, To fill the bosom of the shricking air, With loud complaints. Crime. v. Wicked. Guilty of a blacker crime, Than ere in the large volume writ by time, The sad historian reads, acting black mischief, A fault Not to be purged with brimstone, fire and salt. A sin no prayers or tears Can ere wash off. That blurs the grace and blush of modesty. Critic. That beholds nothing but with a mind of mislike, Writing with oil and fire. The least child their pen is delivered of, comes into the world with all its teeth. The Muses Cerberus. Archilochus himself was not more bitter. Churlish reteiner to the Muses. One that hath spelled over a great many of books, and all his observation is the Orthography. The surgeon of old authors, healing the wounds of dust and ignorance. He is a troublesome vexer of the dead, which after so long sparing, must rise up to the judgement of his castigation. He is one that makes all books sell dearer, whilst he swells them into folios by his comments. Crocodile. Nile's fell rover. Nile's poisony Pi●ate. Nile's greedy beast. That kills the man, then bathos him in his tears. That beast, which opposite to nature's law In other creatures, moves the upper jaw. Crown. Cornet, chaplet, garland, diadem, incirclet, wreath, fillet, circlet, ring, ●inglet, cincture, anadem, impalement. Cruel. Like Ounces, Tigers. or the Panther's whelps, Whose healths are morning draughts in blood. As Lycaon when he changed his shape W●●h Selmus turned into an Adamant. The swallowing Syrts, Charybdis chafed with w●nd, Or some fell Tiger of th' Armenian kind Did him beget— his cruel breast, Rough flint, hard steel, or adamant invest, As if he had drunk of the Ciconian stream, That freezeth all the entrails into stone. He on the cruel Caucasus hard mounts Was bred, or sucked from Tiger's milky ●ounts. Of some Tiger's b●ood, Bred in the waist of frost-bit Calydon. An heart hewn from a Parian stone. Mortar made of blood and clay. By rocks engendered, ●ib'd with steel. Like Tiger's fel●, Wh●m their fierce dams with slaughtered cattle's blood, Were wont to nourish in th' Hyrcanian wood. Most delighted when They bathe and paddle in the blood of men. To whose heart, nature hath set a lock, to shut out pity. Catiline. Marius. Ner●. M●zentius. Q●●affers of humane blood. Savage rigour. More cruel than a Turk or Troglodyte. Than the Laestrigon. The savages to Scythian rocks confined, Who know no God nor virtue of the mind, But only sense pursue, who hunger tame With slaughtered lives they and their food the same, Are not so cruel. As Phalaris or famed Gemonides. Hyrcanian Tiger. Numidian Getulian Lion. Anthropophagis. The horse-blood-swelled Sarmatian, In whose heart a vein of matble grow. Enough to make men waver in the faith, And hold opinion with P●thago●as, That souls of animals infuse themselves Into the trunks of men— whose currish spirit Governed a wolf, who hanged for humant slaughter Even from the gallows did his fell soul fleet, And whilst he laid in his unhallowed den, Infused itself into him. His heart is iron, and his heartstrings wire, The taitnesse of his face sowers ripe grapes. He was not bo●n at— But on some rock within the Pontic la●d, Or Scythian mountain that so wildly stand, And v●ins of flint are every where dispersed In sl●nder branches through his iron breast. An heart as as hard as brass, And more obdurate than M●dusa's was. Mercy shall as soon be found at the hands of prevailing cowards. Cuckold The only horned beast that hath teeth above. That ha●gs his bugle in an invisible baldric. Struck by the forked plague. So ingrateful, he ne'er thanks him tha● made him. An he moon. Civil monster. Rational beast. Cupid. The Paphian archer. The Paphian Prince. Cytherea's son. The ●loth affecting boy. Psych●'s soft husband. Venus sweetest son. The peevish shooting hoodwinked else. Little great King. The quivered god. The mirthful god of amorous dalliance. The blinking boy that winks and hits the ma●k. The winged god that woundeth hearts. Great little Emperor of hearts. The Cyprian Queens blind boy. The Giant dwarse. Venus' wanton son. The god whose nights out shine his days. Who though ●e's blind, shoo●s arrows that have sight. Sees not to shoot, your se●s to hit the whi●e. Little tyrant lordly Love That doth awe the gods above As they creatures here below, With his sceptre called a bow, And doth all their forces bear, In the quiver that he wears, Whence no sooner he doth draw Forth a shaft but it is law. Custom. That second nature. Imperious tyrant. Vice-nature. That Apoplexy of bedrid nature. That takes from us the privilege To be ourselves, rends that great charter too Of nature, and likewise cancels man, And so inchains our judgements and discourse, To present usances. That great giant that is so prevalent that oftentimes we shape the discourse of reason, and course of nature to the inbred notions, and preconceptions she hath printed in our minds. Cybele. Wood-●●unting mother by yoked Lions drawn. The fruitful mother of the Gods. The turbaned Goddess. The Berecinthian Queen. Saturn's great wife. Dindymens', Ops, Rhea, Vest●. Cyclops. Jove's tinkers. The thunder-smiths. The sweeting throng Of hammering blacksmiths at the lofty hill, The forgers of Jove's fierce Artillery. v Aetna. v. Thunder. Which in vast caves their anviles beat Steropes, Brontes, nakt Pyracmon sweats v Hesiod. Theogonia. v. 139 In forging thunder, part now finished, Jove This on affrighted earth hurls from above On the imperfect part, three clattering showers Of winter hail, and spring-tide-rain he pours, To which are added strait three flashes swift v. Virgil. Aen. 8. Of summer flames, three puffes of Autumne's drift. Cynthia. v. Moon. Diana. D. Dale. v. Valley. Dance. HE made his natural motion far more sweet, And shook a most divine dance from his feet, To move in nimble measures. Moving measures. The Spheres could not in comelier order meet, Nor move more graceful, whether they advance Their measures forward, or retire their dance. To meet The sprightly Music with their numerous feet. Dancing is the descant upon the plain song of walking, And with even motions beat the happy ground. Have you beheld the Grace's dance Or seen the upper spheres to move, So she did tu●n●, return, advance In her gestures, as she paces, Are united all the Graces. Dandle. Balancing his weight in dancing him. So Hector dandled his Astyanax Then when the nodding plume upon his crest Frighted the child. Dangerous As to ore-walk a current roaring loud. On the unsteadfast footing of a spear Though hell itself should gape. Ruin with her saile-strecht wing, Ready to sink us down and cover us. Dark. Gloomy, dusky, pitchy. As the first Chaos ere the light adorns The world, or Phebe filled her wained horns. Dark as the sullen night. Where Phoebus never shows His cheerful light. Dark as the Negro's face. Stars shrowded their heads in clouds, night lost her eyes. Dark as the drowsy mansion house of sleep. Not seen by Phoebus when he mounts the skies At height, nor stooping. Darker than Ach●ron. Enough to make a night ●f day. No glimmering spark gave out his feeble rays, Where yet the gladsome day hath not been seen, Nor Phoebus' piercing beams have ever been. Like the Cimmerian clime, Where sun, nor moon meet out the length of time, Wherein the eye of day A stranger was, and Phaebe's horned light, In vain contended with the shades of night. Where is not so much as that fainter light. The glow-worm shoots at the cold breast of night. Darkness lights elder brother there did reign. Dark as the Egyptian night. The heavens did not peep through the blanket of the n●ght. Darkness as thick as ill me● clouds can make. D●●k as the blind and quiet age of night. So dark as if the funeral of light Were celebrated there. The moon into her darkened orbe●e●ires Nor scaled up stars extend their golden fires. Day. The suns bright daughter, issue, heir, The lesser children of the year. The verses of the book of time. The rags of time. The h●i●es of times old head. Happy Day. A day marked white in Clothe's hook. Old men were glad their fates till now did last, And infants that the hours had made such haste In bringing them to see this day. I now first breath and live. Worthy to be the prime And first account of months, of years, of time. The Calends of all lucky days, The rubric, epact, epoch, dominical of all happy days. The golden number in a day, Was never bliss more full and clear than this. The smiling month of M●y Near looked so fresh as doth this day. Sign this day with a purer stone. Pour wine unto thy Genius. With whiter wool beclad the day, Children unborn as in the womb th●y lay, Sighed for the loss of seeing such a day. Space of days of nights. Thrice had bright Phoebus' daily chariot run Past the proud pillars of Al●mena'● son. Twice had the night shed poppy on the heads Of wearied mortals. Thrice Phoebus had unyoak● his panting steeds Drenched in Iberian seas, whilst night succeeds. S●udded with stars. Ten times had Luc●fer the stars suppressed, Twelve times the daystar now had crowned the east. Now had the Sun in golden Chariot hurled Twice bid good-morrow to the nether world, And Cynthia in her orb and perfect round Twice viewed the shadows of the upper ground, Thrice had the daystar usherd forth the light, And thrice the Evening-star proclaimed the night; Now fifteen courses had the bright steeds run, Thrice had the Golden-sun his hot steeds washed. In the West main, and thrice them sharply lashed, Out of the balmy East. Hyperion from his glittering thron● Seven times his quickening rays had bravely shown, The dewy-cheet Aurora's purple die, Thrice dappled had the ruddy morning sky, And thrice had spread the curtains of the morn To let in Titan when the day was born, Phoebus was thrice eoucht in his watery bed The dewy cheekr Aurora did display Her golden locks, and summon up the day, Twice twenty times, and rests her drowsy head, Twice twenty times within old Tithonus' bed, Five times had Hesper Titan warned away, Five times again, did Lucifer appear, Waving the standard of the glorious day; Thrice had the bright surveyor of the heaven, Divided out of the day and night by even, And equal hours. Five morns had cleared the Air with Phoebus' light, And from the pole removed the damps of night, Ere twice the horses of the sun shall bring Their fiery torcher his Diurnal ring, Ere twice in murk and occidental damp, Moist Hesperus hath quenched his sleepy lamp, Or four and twenty times the Pilots glass Hath told the thievish minutes how they pass; Now fifteen times had Phoebus gone to rest, Inning his Chariot in the gloomy West.

When the latest sand Of the spent hower-glass is now at hand, And as she spoke that word, her voice did alter Her breath grew cold, her speech began to falter, Feign would she utter more, but her faint tongue, Not able to go forward failed, and c●●nge To her dry roof— when the drum of death, Beats a cold march. When deaths pale-slags advanced in his cheeks, His eyes turning round in the dance of death. Lips trembling, as though they kissed their neighbour death Ready to take his oaths to be deaths true liegeman, Death swims and baths herself within his eyes, He gasps for breath, as the grave gasps for him. That hath ●id the last stage of life, Lises candle twinkles within the socket, When he hath bid the world and life adieve, And set one foot within grim Charon's boa●, Expecting every minute deaths sad summons Life's twilight. When his last testament and grave, Is made an icy stifness, benumbs by blood. Deformed. Her eyes do sink into their holes, As if they were afraid to see the light Her breath infects the Air, and sows a pestilence: 'Tis known that she hath eyes by the holes only Which have crept further in, than her nose out. Her quarrelling teeth Of such a colour are that they themselves Scare one another, and do stand at distance. Nature made her, when she was disposed to just, And length of time, hath made her more ridiculous, Ca●idia new, come from the jaws of hell Nature's Errata, faul●● escaped nature's Print, Which who so hath to wife, Shall ne'er be cuckolded, unless for spite, By some that durst not do't but in the night. For fear of loathing her. Never sin was at so high a rate, But one night's hell with her might expiate A shape, the Poets were afraid to fain, For fear the shadow might infect their brain With hollow yellow teeth, or none perhaps, With stinking breath, swart teeth, and hanging chaps, With wrinkled neck, and stooping as she goes, With drivelling munch, and with a snivelling nose, Whose face gives a prospect, which might well Give, a surphet to a weak stomach. Her nose seemed to threaten her chin, Her tears like rain upon dirty furrows Disgracing weeping with her countenance, Her hands those golden golls Tears in her eyes did seem there to bewail Their own disgrace. Like Chaos, or an unlicked Bear's whelp, That carries no impression like the dam, The very dogs bark at him as he goes Crusty batch of Nature. A face not worth the scorning, Notclean enough to spit on Made by one of Nature's unskilful and idle prentices. A nose at enmity with all others, and against which no possible defence, but a pair of Spanish gloves. That blunders all the rivers he passeth through, and avoids th● sight of Painters and glasses, lest they should show him the pattern of his visage: Goggle-eyed, sparrow-mouthed, gubber-toorhed, canker-eatengummes, hook-nosed, rotten-teeths, Morphew-fact, beetle-browed, her nose and chin half meet to make the teeth friends that are fallen out. A breath stinking up and down the room, a nose dropping Winter, and S●mmer; A Bavarian poke under her chin, lav●-●ard, dugs, like two double juggs, bloody-fallen-singers, scabbed-wrists, Cow-wasted, tand-skinne, splay-footed, gouty legs, stinking-feer. Dowdy, Gorgon, Blouze, Gobrian, Mother, Fulsome; Cavida, Mopsa, Niso, Fustilugs, That needs no other proof besides her face, To proclaim her witch.

The Sun doth almost fear to lend his shine, Lest the reflection of his purest rays From such a dunghill, as she bears about. Might chance to infect the universal Air So, that a general plague should give the world A second deluge, and make Air prevent The Doomsday of her sister Element. Nature was idle, and weary of her work, When she shaped her. The fingers crooked are As Nature made them for no other use, But for to scratch her ugly face; There's Art lies couched even in mishapness, And he that draws the foulest monster worse Doth in it pencil out the best of skill; 'Twas Nature's pride to show that skill in her, Or else she made her for her common foil, To set of all her slips in woman kind, And is not she the Queen of Drabs, v 〈◊〉 Pastor. Lib. 2. Song ●. Whose head is pe●iwigd with scabs? Whose hair hangs down in curious flakes, All curled and crisped like crawling snakes; The breath of whose perfumed locks, Might choke the devil with a pox, Whose dainty twine did entice The whole monopoly of louse Her forehead next is to be found Resembling much the new ploughed ground, F●trowed like stairs, whose windings led Unto the chimney of her head, The next thing that my Muse descries, Is the two mil-pits of her eyes, Mill-pits, whose depth no plum can sound, For there the God of love was drowned On either side there hangs a sauce, An ear I mean keeps open house. An ear which always there did dwell, And so the head kept sentinel, Which there were placed to descry If any danger there were nigh, But surely danger there was bred, Which made them so keep off the head, Something for certain caused their fears, Which made them so to hang their ears. But hang her ears, Thalia seeks To suck the bottle, of her cheeks, Her cheeks, whose pride did make them ●ise, Contending to outface her eyes. Upon her cheeks I'd longer stay, But that her nose calls me away, Her nose on which all beauty sat, Her Indian, Ruby nose, that's flat; Help Muses now, I have begun That as her nose, my verse may run; Help furies, you that cannot flatter, I know her nose affordeth matter, For on her nose there hangs I wots A curious Pearl of Crystal snot. As purely white, as whitest rose, A dainty gem for such a nose; But now methinks Thalia skips Intending to salute her lips: Although she fears her lips are such, 'Tis almost pain of death to ●ouch, I'd wish the devil so much bliss Those daily to be damned to kiss; But where shall I find words uncouth To rake the kennel of her mouth? Whose wryness with a certain grace Sets out the beauty of her face, Whose dreary gapings might affright The lustful Incubus of night, And Succubus might be afraid Hereafter to come near a maid, Whereout in curious posture hung. The spongy flie-flap of her-tongue, As if that nature did contrive To hang her whilst she was alive. Her teeth were fixed like eagle's claws Upon the ruins of her jaws, Which there were placed like pikemen tall, Something inclining to their fall, Whose ripened age did yield them mellow, The curious gold was no● so yellow, I think she had them by descent From her first father Adam lent Her chin a little lower stands, Much like the cape of bon ' sperance, Which kindly nature stretched so, To point her way, as she doth go. Come Muses at Apollo's beck, And wreathe an halter for her neck, Her neck was next, which might have been A fi● supporter for her chin But nature to supply her lack, Had drawn her neck up to her back.

Her flaxen hair, ensnaring all beholders, She next permits to weav about her shoulders: And though she cast it back, the silken slips, S●ill forward steal and hang upon her lips Whereat she sweetly angry with her laces, Binds up the wanton locks in curious traces, Whilst twisting with her joints, each hair long lingered As loath to be inchaind, but with her fingers; Then on her head a dressing like a crown, Her breasts all bare, her kirtle hanging down, And all things off, which rightly ever be Called the foul fair marks of our misery, Except her last, which enviously doth feeze her, Lest any eye partake with it in pleasure, Prepares for sweetest rest, till Sylvans greet her And longingly the down bed swells to meet her, So by degrees, etc. Delay.

Where en trenched Cupid lies, And from these turrets all the world defies The savages, that worship the Suns rise Would hate their God, if they beheld these eyes, All heavenly beauties join themselves in one To show their glory in her eye alone; Which when it turneth its celestial ball A thousand sweet stars rise, a thousand fall, Eyes sending forth such pointed darts As pierce the hardest Adamantine heart Whose motions wheel the restless fate of every lover. Those suns display, Their lids, and thence let out imprisoned day, The tempting books On which even crabbed old men look, Whence every beam creates a day Cupid's throne befet with beams, An eye. Quick, round, and full, raid round with majesty; The Eagles do produce their b●ood To try their young ones there. Two sprightful jetty eyes, Where subtle Cupid in close ambush lies Two of the fairest stars in all the heavens, Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres, till they return, Whose eyes in heaven ●ould through the airy region stream so bright ●hat birds would sing, and think it were not night, Eyes that seem a temple, where love and beauty are mar●ed, ●hose every looks a triumph; Which nothing like themselves can fee; Eyes, which when so ere they rove All the Spheres of beauty move, Which while they make love conquer, conqver love The school where Venus hath learned chastity, Eyes which marry state with pleasure And keep the keys of Nature's chiefest treasure, Whose shining eyes Are the two greater lights of cupids skies To cure his blindness love doth make repair Unto her eyes, able to steal the lookers on, and leave Them quite unfurnished. Cupid did espy The greatness of his Godhead in her eye, The Deities Of love light torches at her flaming eyes. Love was dandled in her eye, Yet curbed with a beseeming gravity Eyes might with a beck command a Monarchic; Eyes which hit when Cupid's shafts do miss. That shut their coward gates on atomies Wounding eyes At every glance an arrow flies, Whose lasting eyes, Out-lookt the starry Jewe●s of the Skies. Elaborate. Things that were born, when none but the still night, And his dumb candle saw his pinching throes, That cost the buffeting of many a de●k, And bitten nails with rubbing of the brow, Which cost the dear expense of oil, Sucked by the watchful Lamp, That cost the tapers thirsty waist That smells of Lamps and night cap, Laboured work, the child of a bedridden wit. Elegies. v. Lamentable. My blubbering pen her sable tears let fall In Characters right hieroglyphical, And mixing with my tears are ready turning My late white-paper to a weed of mourning, Or ink and paper, strive how to impart My words, the weeds, my thoughts were in my heart; Or else the blots, unwilling are my ●imes, And their sad cause, should live till after times. Fearing if men, their subject should descry, They forthwith would dissolve to tears, and die. Invailed in a sable weed, she sat, v. brown's Pastor. 1. Book. Song 5. upon Prince Henry. Singing a Song, wh●ch stones dissolved at; How shall we find a fitting monument For brass and marble were they placed here Would fret, and melt in tears to lie so near Repeating o'er The Story of his virtues, until I Not write, but am myself his Elegy, Without disturbing the harmonious spheres, we'll bathe below thy memory in tears Such grief, as who can utter it. Doth not vent forth his sorrow, but h●s wit, I envy death, the treasure of his sleep Th' illiterate vulgar in a well-tuned breath Lament his loss, and learnedly chide death. It were a shame for all, thou being gone, Not to have power to die with grief alone. But, 'twere proud piety if we Should think by prayers to alter Heaven's Decree, His death, the crime of destiny Children untaught, by instinct for thee weep My distracted fears Have no commerce with reasonable tears, Whose death commands A subsidy from every private eye, Fetch all the Spices that Arabia yields; Distil the choicest flowers of the fields: And when in one their best perfections meet, Embalm her corpse, that she may make them sweet. Infectious grief striking all hearers. Tears the best Expressours of true sorrow, speak the rest, Every tear speaks a dumb Elegy, The wine of lif●'s drawn out, and from this time Mere lees is left this vault. Let him whose lines a private loss deplore, Call them to weep, that never wept before. Call not the winds, nor bid the rivers stay, For though the sighs, and tears they could repay, Which injured lovers mourners for the dead, Captives and Saints have breathed away and shed; Yet we should want to make our sorrow fit For such a cause as now doth silence it. So ●weell instructed are my tears To●y fall in ordered characters. My grief is more audacious, give me one, Who every day hath heard a dying groan! The subject of my verses may suffice To draw new tears from dry and weary eyes. To shrine his name within an Elegi●, I may forget to drink, to eat to sleep, Remembering thee, but when I do to weep, In well weighed lines, that men shall at thy hearse Envy the sorrow that brought forth my verse, May my dull understanding, etc. All joys have now one common funeral. Our grief we cannot call A● passion, since the ground is rational, Our tears and sighs may be excused, though those To deluges, and these to tempests rose. No pen can plead excuse For Elegies, howl all who cannot sing, For tombs bring turf who cannot marble bring, I oft have verse on meaner subjects made, Should I give presents, and leave debts unpaid? Want of invention, here is no excuse, The matter I shall find and not produce, And as it fares in crowds, I nothing doubt, So much would pass, that nothing can get out, And in the work which now my thoughts intent, I shall find nothing hard, but how to end. Had this been for some meaner persons hearse, I might have then observed the laws of verse, But here they fail, nor can I hope t' express In numbers, what the world counts numberless, I dare not (learned shade) bedew thy hearse With tears, unless that impudence in verse Would cease to be a sin; and what were crime In prose, would be no injury in rhyme. Upon Whose death the Ocean might turn Helicon. O who will give me tears? Come all ye spring● Dwell in my head and eyes; come clouds and rain, My grief hath need of all the marry things That Nature hath produced. Let every vein Suck up a river to supply mine eyes, My weary weeping eyes too dry for me, Unless they get new conduits, new supplies To bear them out, and with my state agree. What are two shallow fords, two little spouts Of a less world? The greater is but small, A narrow cupboard for my griefs and doubts, Which want provision in the midst of all; Verses, ye are too fine a thing, too wise For my rough sorrows; cease, be dumb and mute, Give up your feet and running to mine eyes, And keep your measures for some lover's lute, Whose grief allows him music and a rhyme For mine excludes both measure, tune, and time. Now unto sorrow must I tune my song, And set my harp to notes of saddest woe. Befriend me night best patroness of grief, Over the pole thy thickest mantle throw, And work my flattered fancy to belief, That heaven and earth are coloured with my woe, My sorrows are too dark for day to know; The leaves should all be black whereon I writ, and letters where my tears have washed, a wannish white. v.

When he speaks, Mute admiration lurketst in men's ears, To steal his sweet and honeyed sentences. Such charming eloquence As in the ear doth lock up every sense Of the rapt hearer. Able to reconcile antipathies. Language melting in the ear. Whose words leave in all such impression, as is wont to be the first elementing and foundation of love.

Those pleasant fields, and groves of all the graces. The joyful bliss of ghosts repurified. Where every object charms the wandering eye, And bids the soul gaze there eternally. Where all those objects are that lend delight. To the admiring fancy. Where grows the golden tree. At the same season nature there doth bring The autumnes wealth with pleasures of the spring. Where in green meadows sits eternal May, Purfling the margins, whilst perpetual day So double guilds the air, as that no night Can ever rust th'enamel of the light. Elysian lay, Where every season is ●he month of May. Where restored forms ne'er fade, Where growth can need no seed, nor light a shade, The joys which in our flesh through frail expense Of strength, through age were lost t'our injured senc, We there do meet again, and those we taste A new, though we devour, do ever last.

Whose eyes cannot look right on any happy man, nor ears bear the burden of his praise, contrary to other plagues, he is plagued with another's well being, making happiness the ground of his unhappiness, and good news the argument of his sorrow, whose favour none can win, but at the dear race of being miserable. Such an one, as his enemy needs wish him no worse, than to wish his own happiness seen by him.

He his saffron robes neglects, And his garlands disaffects. All his tapers, all his flowers, All his fillets, all his powers, All the pleasures, all the sweets That attend the genial sheets, All his chains and loving bands He resigns into your hands, M●y soft joys now you are wed, Be the curtains for your bed; May fair honour and delight C●own your day, and bless your night; May your oft repeated kisses Bring with them as many blisses, And the warm embrace of love Be soft as Down, on Venus' Dove, May the pleasures of your bed, Pass the hairs upon your head, And your joys outvie the sand. O thou fai● Uranias' son, Hymen, O thy brows impale Take thy Safferon vail and come, Yellow stocks of woollen wear, Shrill Epithalamiums sing Shake in that fair hand of thine Those two to an happy bed, On the shore of Cyprus seen, Fostering it with Rosy dew, Leave the Aonion Caves behind Aganippe's waters drill, In Affections fetters tied, Clasps, the Oak in amorous twines; Taste the like another day, Hymen, Hymenaeus sing. What's that we see from far? the spring of day Bloomd from the East? or fair enamelled May, Blown out of April? or some new Star filled with glory to our view; Reaching at heaven To add a nobler Planet to the seven? Say, or do we not descry, Some Goddess in a Cloud of Tiffany, To move, or rather the Emerging Venus from the sea. 'Tis she, 'tis she, or else some more divine Enlightened substance, see how from the shrine, Of holy Saints she paceth on Throwing about vermilion, And Amber spice— ●ing the chaste Air with fumes of Paradise, Then come on, come on and yield A savour like unto the field, When the bedabled morn, Washeth the ears of corn. Led on fair pair of Nymphs, the whilst her eyes Guilty of somewhat, gild the strawberries And cherries in her che●ks: there's cream Already spilt, her rays must g●eam Gently thereon, And so create lust and temptation, To surphet and hunger Help on her pace, and though she lag, yet stir Her homeward, well she knows, There is her heart, where ere she goes. See where she comes and smells, how all the street, Breathes Vineyards and Pomegranates, oh how sweet As a fired Altar is each one Breathing pounded Cinnamon, The Phoenix nest. Built up of odours burneth in her breast. Who would not there consume His soul to cinders, in that rich perfume, The while He burns to embers in the pile. Hymen, O Hymen, tread the sacred ground, Show thy white feet, and head with marjoram crown● Mount up thy flames, and let thy torch Display the Bridegroom in the porch. In his desires Towering more, more disparkli●g than the fires Show her, how his eyes do burn, And roll about, and in their motion turn Their balls to ash heaps: haste Or else to nothing he will waste. Glide through the banks of virgins then, and pass The showers of Roses, lucky four-leaved grass The whiles the clouds of younglings sing And drown you with a flowery spring Whilst some repeat Your praise, and bless you, covering you with wheat, Whilst others do divine, Blessed be the Bride, on which the Sun doth shine; And thousands gladly wish You multiply as doth a fish. Why the●, on forward fair aspitious Bride, And come upon the Bridegroom like a tide, Bearing down time before you, high Swell more, and lose yourselves, imply Like streams which flow Encurld together, and no difference show In their mo●t silver, ●un Into yourselves, like wool together spun, Or blend so, as the sight Of two, makes one Hermophradite, Welcome at last unto the threshold. Time Throned in a saffron evening seems to chime All in: kiss, and so enter, if A prayer must be said, be brief, The easy gods, ●or such contempts, have only myrtle ●ods To stroke, not strike: fear you No more wild Nymphs, than they would have you do But dread, you more offend In that you do begin, than end; And now you are entered, see the coddled cook, Runs from his tor●id zone, to p●y and look, And bless his dainty mistress, see Now th' aged whisper, this is she, Who now must sway Us, peace shield her, she's pretty, yea and nay, And the smi●k, butler thinks it Sin in his wappery not t' express his wit. Each striving to devise Some gin to take her eyes Now if we must, for Ceremony sake Bless a sack posset, luck go with it, take The night charm quickly, you have spells And Magic for to end, and hells To pass, but such And with such torture, as no God would grutch To live there, and for ever fry, Yea, and consume, and grow again to die, And live, and in that case Love the damnation of the place. To bed, to bed sweet Turtles now, and write This the long day, and that the shortest night; And yet though short, for you, for me, I count this night as long as three Lying alone, Ostrich. That drops her eggs upon the naked land, And wraps them in a bed of hatching sand, Exposed to the wandering traveller, And feet of beasts, which those wild deserts tear. Eternity. The soft down of Eternity, Unfathomed circle, Endless duration, The boundless Ocean of conceit, That great uncenterd vast circumference, That knows no limits, unconfined by time. From all Eternity. Ere by the spheres times motions were created, Ere the astonished spring Herd in the Air the feathered people sing, Ere time had motion, or the Sun obtained His Province o'er the day, Ere the world's great Creator did, From the dark formless Chaos light divide, Establish eternal laws, to which he tied His creatures and himself, and did divide The worlds set ages by unchanged fate, When sea and earth, and heaven was yet unframed, Ere nature had that face, they chaos named, Ere Titan did the world with light adorn, Or waxing Phoebe filled her wained horn, Ere the self-poysed earth in the Air was pla●'d, Or Amphytrite the vast shore embraced.

Phoebus' bright chariot, now had run Past the proud pillars of Ascmena's son, The sun doth gallop down the western hill The ebb of day, the winter of the day The Autumn of the light. When doubtful light Draws on the dewy chariot of the night To Thetis watery bowers, the sun doth high Bidding farewell, unto the gloomy sky, The labour of the day, now near at an end, From steep Olympus Phoebus' steeds descend, When the eye of heaven Is quite closed up, and hath with earth made even, The drooping light Gins to triple the increasing shades. Now hasty Titan to th' Hesperian seas. Descends. Phoebus now enters the Tartessian main, The old age of the day. When day doth end, And Phoebus' panting steeds to seas descend, The day declines his light, And earthborn shades, had clothed the world with night. The day grown old and weak. The evening now descended, and did steep The eyes of all men with desire of sleep, The day grows old, And 'gins to shut in with the Marigold, The neatheards kine do bellow in the yard, And dairy maids for the milk prepared. Now great Hyperion leaves his golden throne, That on the dancing waves in glory shone, For whose declining on the western shore The oriental hills, black mantles wore, When the gentle Air Breathes to the sullen night a soft repair. Now the setting Sun To drown as much of his bright orb begun, As the Moon wants, when after full she wain Or grows near full, when days last light Gives place to the approach of dusky night.

Sleepy light, When as the sun hales towards the western shade, And the trees shadows three times greater made. Phoebus' ray sunk in the seas, Sols steeds retire, To quench their burning fetlocks and to steep●, Their flaming nostrils in the western deep. The suns half buried in a cloud, Whose rays the vapours of approaching night Have rendered weak and faint. The declining sun Had hurried his diurnal load To th'borders of the western road, By this time had the heavens surrounding steeds Quelled their proud courage, turned their fainting heads Into the lower hemisphere to cool Their slaming nostril's in the western pool, Night had laid the sun to sleep Now night gins to muffle up the day. The wether rings his bell. The toiling ploughman drives his thirsty teams, To taste the slippery streams. The droyling swineherd knocks away, and feasts His hungry guests The Box-bill, Ousil, and the dapled Thrush As rivals meet at their beloved bush. The morning of the Antipodes. The day grows old, the low pitched lamp hath made No less than triple shade, And the descending damp doth now prepare T'uncurle bright Titan's hair, Whose western wardrobe now gins ●'infold Her purples, fringed with gold, To his evening glory, when th'alarms Of rest, shall call to lie in Thetis arms. Time hath lodged the sun. The weather rings his evening bell. The curle-pate waggoner of heaven Had finished his diurnal course and driven, His panting steeds down to the western hill, When silver Cynthia rising to fulfil Her nightly course let's fall an evening tear To see her brother leave the Hemisphere The golden-headed chariote● of heaven With hasty speed his prouder rains doth bend His panting horses to their journey's end. He blushes, and with unrestrained career, He hurries to the lower hemisphere, And in a moment shoots his golden head Upon the pillow of fair Thetis bed. When the candles begin to inherit the Sun's office, When lights make an artificial day, When the Sun like a noble heart shows his greatest Countenance in his lowest estate. deceased day. The Sun makes speed to leave our west, to do his office in the other hemisphere, as if he meant to carry news what stars he left behind. Night's black contagious breath Already smokes about the burning crest Of the old feeble and day wearied Sun. The waning of the Sun. The bat doth fly Her cloistered flight to sullen Hecate's summon● The shade born Beetle with his drowsy hum Hath rung night's yawning peal, Ceiling night, Skarves up the tender eye of beauteous day. When like Elinar wi●h his evening beamss The Sun hath turned to gold the silver streams, The triple shades begin to damp The moistened earth, and the declining lamp invites to silence: Light thickens And the Crow makes wing unto the woods, Good things of day begin to droop and drowse, Whilst nights black agents to their preys do rows● The west but glimmers with some streaks of day. Now spurs the lated traveller apace Unto the timely Inn, When as the Nightimgale chanteth her Vesper, And the wild foresters couch on the ground, The long shades of the hills appear, The Sun is fled to Thetis bed, When night entombs the dying light, What times the grey fly winds her sultry horn The Even-star bright Towards heaven's descent had slopped his burnished wheel. Phoebus goes to rest Inning his Chariot in the glooming West The Sun in golden Cstariot hurled Now bid good morrow to the nether world. The evening damp Gins to fall, and heavens declining lamp, Bespeaks the doubtful twilight, day grows old, Invites the fowls to roost, the sheep to folds When day doth give her room Unto the shady gloom. When rising stars shall spread Their golden flames Evening star The star that ushers in the Even, And gives a beauty to the sober West.

Whilst land the sea, and air the land shall bond, Whilst labouring Titan runs his glorious round. Whilst there's a summer to succeed the spring, Or Autumn winter. Whilst upon his wing Time hath a feather. Till Lachesis have no more thread to spin. To the last syllable of recorded time. Whilst the sun light, or earth doth shadows cast.

When with her summer robes she decks the plains, And hangs on every bush a liquid pearl In May's triumphant month. As the replenished moon. Fair As Phoebus' rays gilding the glittering air. More fair Phoebus' near chariots through the gilded air. Holding resemblance with those spotless skies, Where slowing N●lus want of rain supplies; That Crystal heaven, where never Phoebus' shro●d● His golden beams, nor wrapped his face in in clods Fair as unshaded light or as the day In its fairest birth, when all the year was May. Fair Wether. V Calm. The pleased heavens their fairest livery wear. The face of heaven is masked with ●o clouds Nor wrinkled into frowns. Fairies. The airy troop which nimbly play, And by the springs dance out their summer's day, Teaching the little birds to build their nest, And in their singing how to keep their rest. Which whilst they measures tread Within the meadows make such circles green, As if with garlands it had crowned been. Those elves That pinch those maids that have not swept their shelves. And if by chance, by maiden's oversight, Within door water were not brought at night, Or if they spread no table, set no bread, These nip them from the toe unto the head; But for the maid that hath performed each thing, They in the water pale do leave a ring. Which lend their weaker glowworm fir● To conquer the night's chillness, with their Quee● In harmless revels tread the happy green. That by moonshine ringlets make, Where the ewe no meat will take. That in cowslip bells do lie When they hear the owlets cry, On the bats back which do fiy. The moonshine revellers and shades of night. The Orphan heirs of fixed destiny. The glow-worms are their torchbearers, lanterns. The elves for fear Creep into acorn cups, and hid them there. Dancing their ringlets to the whistling wind. Cl●d in the snakes enamelled skin: Killing the cankers in the muske-rose buds. Warring with reare-mices for their leather wings, To make the small elves coats. The yellow-skirted Fayes, That tread the moon-loved maze. The honey bags steal from the humble bees, And for night tapers steal their waxed thighs, And light them at the fiery glow-worms eyes. And pluck the wings from painted butterflies To sand the moon-beams from their sleepy eyes. That dance by drowsy fires glimmering light. In a field of yellow broom, Or in chequered meadows where Mints perfume the gentle air, And where Flora spends her treasure, There they dance their circled measure. There is Mab the mistress Fairy That doth nightly rob the dairy, And can hurt, or help the churning, As she please without discerning, She that pincheth country wenches If they rub not clean their benches, And with sharper nails remembers When they rake not up their embers, But if so they chance to feast her, In their shoe she drops a tester, This is she that empties cradles, Takes out children, puts in ladles, Trains forth midwives in their slumber With a five, the holes to number, And then leads them from their boroughs, Through ponds, and water furrows. The Fairy Queen. Come follow, follow me You fairy elves that be, Which c●●cle in the green, Come follow me your Queen, Hand in hand le●s dance a round, For this place is fairy ground. When mortals are at rest. And snorting in their nest, Unheard and unespied Through key holes we do glide, Over table's stools and shelves We trip it with our fairy elves, And if ●he house be foul, Or platter dish or bowl, Upstaires we nimbly creep And sinned the sluts a sleep. There we pinch their arms and thighs, None escapes, nor none espies, But if the house be swept, And from uncleanness ke● We praise the household maid, And surely she is paid, For we do use before we go To drop a tester in her shoe. Upon a mushrooms head Our table we do spread, A corn of rye or wheat, Is manchet which we ear, Pearly drops of dew we drink In acorn cups filled to the brink, The brains of nightingales. The unctuous dew of snails Between two nutshells stewed, Is meat that's easily chewed, the beards of mice Doth make a feast of wondrous price. On tops of dewy graft, So nimbly we do pass, The young & tender stalk Near bends when we do walk Y●t in the morning may be seen Where we the night before have been. The grasshopper and fl●e, Serve for our minstrelsy. Grace said, we dance a while, And so the time beguile, And when the moon doth ●ide her head, The glowworm lights us home to bed. Oberon's Clothing. When the monthly horned Queen Grew jealous that the stars had seen Her rising from Endymion's arms; In rage she threw her misty charms Into the bosom of the night To dim their curious prying light, Then did the dwarfish fairy elves, (Having first attired themselves) Prepare to dress their Oberon king In light robe● for revelling. In a cobweb shirt more thin Than ever spider since could spin, Bleacht by the whiteness of the snow, As the stormy winds did blow It through the vast and freezing air, No shirt half so white, so fair. A rich waistcoat they did bring Of the trout-flies gilded wing; At this his elveship 'gan to fret, Swearing it would make him sweat Even with its weight; and needs would wear His waistcoat wove of downy hair New shaved from an Eunuch's chin, That pleased him well, 'twas wondrous thin; The out side of his doublet was Of the four-leaved true love grass, On which was set a comely gloss By the oil of crispy moss, That through a mist by starry light, It made a rainbow in the night, On each seam there was a lace Drawn by the unctuous snails slow trace, To which the purest silver thread Compared, did look like slubbered lead, Each button was a sparkling eye T●ne from the speckled adders fry, Which in a gloomy night and dark Twinkled like a fiery spark, And for coolness next his skin, 'Twas with white poppy lined within. His breeches of that fleece were wrought Which from Colchos Jason brought; Spun into so fine a yearn, Mortals might it, not discern, Wove by Arachne on her loom, Just before she had her doom, Died crimson with a maiden's blush, And lined with sost Dandalion plush. A rich mantle he did wear, Made of the tinsel Gossamer, Bestrowed over with a few Diamond drops of morning dew. His cap was all of lady's love, So passing light, that it could move; If any humming gnat or fly But puffed the air in passing by; About it was a wreath of pearl, Dropped from the eyes of some poor girl, Was pinched, because she had forgot To leave clean water in the pot, And for feather he did wear Old Nisus fatal purple hair, A pair of buskins they did bring Of the cowladies coral wing, Inlaid with inky spots of jet, And lined with purple violet. His belt was made of yellow leaves Pleated in small curious threaves. Beset with amber cowslip studs, And fringed about with daisy buds, In which his bugle horn was hung, Made of the babbling Ecchoe's tongue, Which set unto his moon-burnt lips He winds, and then his fairies skips, And whilst the lazy drone doth sound, Each one doth trip a fairy round. Oberon's Diet. A little mushroom table spread After a dance, they set on bread, A yellow corn of Parkey whea●, With some small sandy gritts to eat, His choice bits with, and in a trice, They make a feast, less great than nice. But all the while his eye was served, We cannot think his ear was starved; But that there was in place to stir His ears, the pittering grasshopper. The merry cricker; puling fly, The piping gnats shrill minstrelsy, The humming dor, the dying swan, And each a chief Musician. But now we must imagine first, The elves present to quench his thirst, A crystal pearl of infant dew, Brought, and besweerned in a blue And pregnant violet, which done, His kitling eyes began to run Quite through the table, where he spies The horns of papry butterflies, Of which he eats, but with a little Neat cool allay of Cuckoo spittle. A little fuzball pudding stands, And yet not blessed with his hands. That seemed too course, but he not spares To feed upon the candied hairs Of a dried canker and the lag, And well bestrutted bees sweet bag. Stroking his palate with some store Of emmets eggs, what will he more, But beards of mice, and gnats stewed thighs, A pickled maggot, and a dry Heppe, with a redcap worm that's shut Within the concave of a nut. B●own as his tooth is, with the fat Well rooted eyeball of a bat, A bloated earewigge, and the pith Of sugared rush, he glads him with. But most of all the glow-worms fire, As much betickling his desire To burn his Queen, mixed with the far Fe●cht binding jelly of a star, With withered cherries, mandrakes ears, Moles eyes, to these the slain stags tears, The unctuous dewlaps of a snail, The broken heart of a nightingale, O'ercome with music; with a wine Near ravished from the clustered vine, But gently strained from the side Of a most sweet and dainty bride, Bought in a daizie chalice which He fully quaffs up, to bewitch His blood to height. This done commends Grace to his priest, and the feast ends. Drawn by a team of little Atoms; The waggon spokes made of a spinner's legs, The cover of the wings of grasshoppers, He● traces of the smallest spiders web, Her collars of the moonshines watery beams, Her whip is made of little cricket bones, Her waggoner a small gray-coated gnat, Her chariot is an empty hazel nut Made by a squirrel.

That fluttering ill That thrives by flight, and as it goes grows still, The tattling snow-bal. Old times recorder. Sorrow's hasty barbinger. The drunken bastard of the multitude. The long tongued gossip. Time's treasurer. True honours eagle-winged herald. That sounds the silver trumpet. Clad in a robe of gold, Whose train old time obsequiously doth bear, Wherein in rich embroidery is enroled The acts of all the worthies ever were. On her fair breast she two broad tablets wears Of Crystal th'one, the other ebony, Where are engraven all the names of yore, In the large tomb of lasting memory. Or the black book of endless obloquy. Her palace placed betwixt earth and skies, The windows all composed are of eyes. The walls are strongly edified of ears, And underfoot floord all about with drums; The rafters trumpets admirable cheer. The crannies tongues. The doors unlock with every little breath That on the sun beams gloriously to ride. The registers, the world's eternal hours. The lightfoot, feather-tongued dame. She that enquireth into all the world, And hath about her vaulted palace hurled All rumours and reports or true or vain, What utmost lands, or deepest seas contain. Her house is full of Echo made, Where never dies the sound, And as her brows the clouds invade, Her feet do touch the ground. Famous. Who bears. The rarest fame that ere enriched air, Or found the way fair to eternity. Whose name Still breathes perfume from their embalming fame, Beyond whose worth shall never sound a name, Nor honour in her everlasting story, More deep engrave for all ensuing glory. A fame which shall Out live the sun, and close the world's great eye. A blast From fames loud trumpet which so long shall last, Till the last trumpet drown it. Fame adds perfume unto his dust, Which your name shall save From the black edicts of a tyrant grave, Nor shall your day ere set till the sun shall From the blind heavens like a dull cynder fall. And all the elements imband their strife, To ruin what they made, than your fame's life, When desperate time lies gasping shall expire, Attended by the world in general fire. Which from time's injury, Fame still will vindicate. His name is fame's best music. Famous beyond the utmost date of time. Spreading fame Foreruns the welcome of his honoured name To last for times eternal process. Whose highly honoured name for ever bears A welcome accent to all honest ears; No myrrh, nor Cassia, nor no choice perfumes Of unctuous Nard, or aromatic fumes Of hot Arabia, do enrich the air With more delicious sweets, than do the fair Reports that crown the merits of his name With heavenly laurels of eternal fame. Fame's Immortal books record no nobler names. Whose louder name Hath blast enough, to split the trump of fame. Whose name is writ in fames immortal annals. Worthy to be filled on fames eternal beadrol. Whose name even fills report. Sainted in fame's best Calendar. Canonised by fame. Enrolled in the register of fame. Who●e fame hath won A strong advantage on the of time. Nor time nor malice can wrong out the right, In the inheritance of fame he must possess. That fills the wide and open mouth of fame. The farthest shore Washed by the Ocean shall him adore, And all those northern Isles, whom days bright flame Scarce warms, shall bear the thunder of his name, Which shall survive the funeral of time, And be the subject of a learned rhyme. Beheld by many with the eyes of fame, That ne'er had happiness to see his face. Dear son of memory, great heir of fame Enrolled by the hand of sate, in fame's steel tables, Whose name— Is imped upon the wings of fame. Hurled Hot from fame's trumpet, round about the world Eternal same, trumpets forth his deserts Whose fame extended is so wide As that on it a man to heaven might climb Whose rich report. Fame was oppressed with as a talk too great Winged fame Grows great with honour of— name. Whom all, that dare believe report, admire. The Poet's theme and patron. Fame shall resound them on oblivions he●se, T●ll graves gasp with her blasts, and dead men rise. Whose praise is sung of in unsilenced story. Whose praise In spite of envy and her restless pains, Is unconfined as blessed eternity. The vales shall ring Thine honoured name, and every song shall be A Pyramid built for thy memory. Whose fame runs the sun's course. Whose fame can be Confined by nothing but eternity. Only the period of all days Shall seal his fame, and never ending praise. Whose fame in never dying rhymes Shall be delivered to succeeding times. Whose fame shall last Till to be truly virtuous, truly chaste Be held a sin. Sooner shall &c.— then thy fame Shall be forgot, or honour fail thy name. Whose high renown shall only bounded be By the world's bounds, and vast Eternity, Whose fame times file shall never fret away: Whose fame shall credit win, Till Lachesis have no more thread to spin, Nor time a feather on his crazy wing, His glories crescent to a circle grew. Mounted to an height that envy cannot reach. Whom fame is so desirous to honour, that she borrows all men's mouths to join with her trumpet. No Prince could pretend height, nor beggar lowness, to bar him from the sound of his praises. Whose name Is nursed by the fullest breasts of fame. Long needy fame Doth even grow rich by sounding— name. Whose fame is writ with characters of brass, A sorted residence 'gainst the teeth of time, And Razor of oblivion. Whose honour baits the edge of times keen sith, And makes him heir of all Eternity, Surviving fame with daring flight, Doth give his name eternal right, Whose name doth strike the stars, And rings about the concave. A fame may dare times proudest injury. His garland with time edged about, Lest any age should ever ravelled out, Writ in fames eternal legend, Whose fame shall never die, Till time lies buries in Eternity. V Ever. Never. Shall live beyond the Calendar of time. Famine v Drought. Like beasts some suck Beasts dugs, and when milk fails with greedy j●w Meeere blood from their exhausted udders draw. Herbs and green leaves they wring, bedewed twiggs They lick, and juice of bleeding vines, small sprigs Of trees, they for their tender sap do squeeze, The ground no pasture for their horses yields: Nor yellow Seres clothes the fallow fields; The men eat grass, and when the fields grow bare, The grass from off their camps dry turfs they tear; With tears, or nothing must they quench their thirst. Impetuous famine, sister to the sword, The pinching Fury. Left hand of death, child of th' infernal Lord, That pleasure taketh in the tedious breath Of pining Mortals, and their lingering death, The people tear their trembling flesh for food, And from ●heir ragged wounds they suck forth blood The father dies, and leaves his pined corpse T' enrich his heir with meat, the hungry nurse Broils her starved suckling on the hasty coals, V Brown's Pastorals. 2 l. Song 1. Description the cave of famine. Devours one half, and leaves the rest in holes. The Tyrant that compels the mother To kill one hungry child to save another. Famine in their dry entrails takes her seat, What nature most abhors enforced to eat. The infant trembles at his father's knife, The babe reenters her who gave it life. The lively form of death Still yawning wide, with loathsome stinking breath, With hollow eyes, with meager cheeks and chin, With sharp lean bones piercing the sable skin. Some mince their papers will in parchment writ. V Dubarta's Furies And so devour their bitthright at a bit. Fancy. The roving, pregnant, busy, teeming sense, The souls mint. The forge of shapes and dreams, Commanding Empress of the brain, ubiquitary, faculty. The immaterial coiner. That makes a bodiless Creation. Bounld●sse, restless faculty, free from all engagements, digs without spade, sails without Ships, Flies without wings, builds without charges, fights without bloodshed, in a moment striding from the Centre to the circumference of the world, by a kind of omnipotency creating and annihilating things in a moment, and marring things divorced in nature. Fantastic Gallant. Something more than the shape of a man▪ The chief burden of his brain is the carriage of his body, an● the setting of his face in good frame, which he performs the better, because he is not disjointed with other Meditations. He hath stayed in the world to fill a number, and when he's gone there wants one, and there's an end In the speculation of his good parts, his eyes like a drunkard ●es all all double, and his fancy like an old man's spectacles makes great Letter in a small print. He conceives men's thoughts very idle, that is only busy about ●im. Both his Inprimis and his Item are his . A pretty ●iece of finical ignorance, or a fool without his motley coat. Such a man as his Tailor pleaseth to make him. That puts away most of his judgement about the situation of his ●loaths. His cloaches are sacrified- Going with such a noise, as if his body were the wheel-barrow 〈◊〉 carry his rumbling judgement. His whole body goes all upon screws, and his face is the vice that moves them. His glittering show like the sunshine in a puddle. Who now and then breaks a d●ie biscuit j●st, Which that it may more easily be chewed He steeps in his own laughter. With a brain lighter than his feather. Like an empty bottle, and his head the cork to stop it. His skin is tanned in sivet, Walking, as if he had a suit of wainscot. All his behaviours are printed, A marmoset made all of and face. One that weighs His breath between his teeth, and dares not smile Beyond a point, for fear ● ' unstarch h●s look. A fellow so utterly nothing, that he knows not what he would be. That would rather have the whole Commonwealth troubled, than an hair out of order about him. Ever in the slavery of Ceremony and Compliments. A man consisting of a pickedevant, and two moustaches, and utterly to defeat him there needs but three clips of a pair of scissors. A barren brain in fertile hair. A speaking Butterfly. Sober drunkards. Fastidious, Brisk, wise only by inheritance. who while he proudly wears A silver hilted rapier by his side, Endures the lies and knocks about the ears, Whilst in his sheath; the sleeping sword doth bide Wears gaudy clothes, And fills up his imperfect speech with oaths, That hath a Bedsam fancy, all whose conceits are antics. The cares of men having little else of them but speech and laughter, using the preface of a mile to bring in a furlong of matter, That speaks his mind in fustian eloquence, Forced affected phrase, and strained discourse, Whose language is astonishing bombast, till men understand him they are scared with it. Wits in jest, fools in earnest, There is a confederacy between him and his to make a puppet: A man In whom the Tailors forming art, And nimble barber claim more part Than nature herself can. Fat. A whale with a ton of oil in his belly. A mountain of Mummy. That wears Shrove Tuesday in his che●ks. If he lives till doomsday he'● burn a we●k longer than the whole world. A face like a Saracens. Mountain of flesh. Walking barrel. That cannot see his own knee. Voluminous body, Cloak bag of guts, a load of guts. Luxury swells in his eyes. And his fat belly loads his yielding thighs. Fate. Those lasting leaves. Whose smallest character is never altered. The doom Spun on the fatal sisters sable loom. Clotho's book. The Canons of eternal date. The Consistory of the stars. Entered the book of unavoided fate. Enrolled in heaven's brass leaves. The privy Council of the heavens and planets. The Adamantine book. The Commissary of God. That hath marked out a path and period For every thing. Knot of all causes whose changeless brow Ne'er smiles not frowns. The brazen Laws. The ancient sisters, adamantine doom. Decrees that needs must pass, Writ in huge folds of solid steel and brass, With Adamantine pens, Heavens consistorial Decree. A more unchanged law Than any Mede, or Persian ever saw. Eternal, unresisted orders of the Gods. Fates. v. Destinies. Favourite. Atoms that dance within the gilded rays That kings shoot out. Aspiring souls who grow but in the spring, Porc'r by the warmth of some indulgent king. Their fair leaves spread But as the marigold to the sun's eye, And in themselves their pride lies buried, For at a frown they in their glory die. Fear. Fearful. As if all his blood turned whey. Crest-fal●'n. Blood-shaken. Bached in a c●ld quick silver sweat. So feared young Proserpina rapt in the coach Of the infernal king. A i'll fear Shook all his powers. So old Aegeus shak'c When he the poisoned cup to Theseus gave. Presaging fears her quite did confound. A i'll cold sweat Bathed all my limbs. Drowned in fear. With such a fear flies the aire-piercing dove. A chilling fear surpriseth all his joints. Fe●r the underminer of all determinations Making abortive answers. Then cold amazements stiffened up his hair. Congealed blood usurped their trembling hearts, and left a faintness in their feeble parts. Who trembling out distractful language speak. Fear, the ague, palsy of the soul, tempest of the mind▪ A chilling ice shivers through every limb. My blood shrinks back into my veins, And my affrighted hairs are turned to bristles. My eyes creep back into their cells, As if they seemed to wish for thicker darkness Than either night or death to cover them. His soul melts within him. A chilling sweat ore-●uns my trembling joints. My seated heart knocks at my ribs, against the use of nature. Distilled almost to jelly. Harrows the soul, and makes the eyes start from their spheres. The hair stands on end Like quills upon the fretful Porcupine, The bedded, hair like life in excrements Start up, and stand an end. A freezing sweat Flows through at all my pores. The knees are mutual anviles. A breathless man pricked on by winged fear, With staring eyes, distracted hear and there, L●ke kindled exhalations in the air, At midnight glowing, his stiff bolting hair, Not much unlike the pens of porcupines, Parboiled in sweat, and making fearful signs. With a look so piteous in pourport, As if he had been loosed out of hell To speak of horrors. The bolting hair Staring upright on their affrighted heads Heave up their hats. Horror and heart-amazing, fear possessed The fainting powers of my troubled breast. Fear is the carefullest, and greatest housewife of our passions, keeping all the rest in Centinel. Fear the Jailor of the soul. A flesh quake doth possess their powers. My knees each other st●uck, the frighted blood, Fled to my heart, my ears like bristles stood. Feast. The table groans, as though this feast, Would as the flood destroy all fowl and beast, The boards are princely served, and Bacchus flows In burnished gold. With feasts they crown this day, And wanted nought to crown the appetite With rich content. Where all the guests impaild with dishes sit. Studied dishes. Where lusty diet and the frolic cup Doth rouse, and raise the quickened spirits up, And brave triumphing Bacchus doth display His conquering colours in their cheeks. The wanton cook prepares his poignant meat, To teach the satiate palate how to eat, Where every dish invites the likorish sight. A table whose spread sides admit A large access of friends to fill the seats of this capacious circle, filled with meats Of choicest relish, till his oaken back Under the load of piled up dishes crack, Giving the eyes a pleasant taste before They come unto the mouth. When with choice viands they delight, And satisfy the wanton a petite. Fever. The pulses spur. Within the deserts of Arabia, nor in the entrails of the sea, was there ever so furious a monster found, and if Tyrants, whose memory is hateful to us, had been stored with such instruments for effecting their cruelties, surely the martyrs had endured a fever for religion, and not that outward fire, nor bitings of wild beasts. At every sting it carries a poor sick person to the borders of the other world, and causeth him sensibly to touch the extremities of life. To support it long, a greater remedy than pa●ience is no less than requilite, and other forces than those of man. Enough to make a man pity him four hundred leagues off, yet he is so valiant, he would not fly though pursued by an army, and so stately, he would not rise from his bed to salute a King. If God had conferred a kingdom upon him, with condition never to sleep more than he doth, he would prove the most vigilant prince living, not would need either guards or sentinels about his person. Feet. The pedestals. Bases of the frame of man. Like Thetis. The tramplers. Feet that print the farewell of all beauty. Cupid's pursuivants. That set an heaven on earth. The precious roots of understanding trees. With whose pace doth move A band of beauties. Fierce. v. Cruel. Violent. Fierce as the Midian tiger. Fidler. A man and a fiddle out of case. That rubs a living out of two sticks. So many strings above a beggar. His life is so many fits of mirth, A country wedding and a whitson-ale are the too main places he domineers in, where he goes for a musician, and overlooks the bagpipes. Fight, v. War. Sea-fight. Ships against ships, beaks meeting beaks resound, And run a stern, the air is darkened round Wi●h flying darts, which falling th' Ocean hid; Then ●urning their forecastle far more wide, They make their horns engirt the adverse fleet, As when strong winds with tides repugnant meet. One way the sea, the waves another go, The ships upon the furrowed Ocean so, Make different tracts, and waves upon the Main, That oars raised up, the sea beats down again. They grappling fall into the crimson lake, Nor-there alas their enmity forsake; But weakly try the combat out, where he That conquers, can no long survivor be, At whose ingrapling nature's mantle took A purple colour. Their armed naval forces made Blue Neptune's face, the first discoloured stage Of war, a scene of their incensed rage. Men would have thought some forest moved from far When winter's rage, the pines proud tops doth bar; Or that the famed Aegean Cycladeses Torn from their roots had floated on the seas. Blood filled the wrinkles of the sea's visage, which the water would not wash away, that it might witness it was not always his fault, when we condemn his cruelty. Fingers. Finger's might Bacchus' grace. Five nimble brethren small Armed with pearl-shell helmets all. Cupid's shafts. Fire. Domestic sun.

And with winged nerves swim through the clustering clouds, And with a swooping flight glide through the air With nimble wing they cleave the flitting sky. Through air they spring, Spreading the pinions of their nimble wing. Sailing upon the bosom of the sky. Swimming upon the bosom of the air. To make wing. To keep. Hold wing.

Looks like an ape that had newly taken a purgation. A subject ●it to be the stolen of laughter. A subject able to justify excessive laughter. Over whom contempt may make a just challenge. A motley, thick-brain. Not well furnished in his upper rooms. Whose wit is turned the seam-side outward. Pity nature was ere at leisure to make him. A drum that every one may play on. No more brains than a butterfly. Whose tongue is the gentleman usher to his wit, and still goes before it. A mere stuffed suit. Looks like a musty bottle new wickered, his head the co●ke for it. A most Catholic coxcomb. One fit to drink good store Of pure, unmixed, brain-purging Helebore. A child at man's estate. One whom nature huddled up in haste, and left his best part unfinished.

Envy put out thine eyes, lest thou shouldst see The Oceans of delight that flow in me. Fortune's eldest son and heir. Fortune's white boy. The button on fortunes cap. I fear My soul hath her content so absolute, That not another comfort like to this Succeeds in unknown fates. Happy enough to pity Caesar. As if both heaven and earth should undertake To extract the best from all mankind to make One perfect happy man. He takes it for an injury, If fortune chance to come behind his wish. Nor doth wide heaven that secret blessing know To give, that she on him doth not bestow, Blind fortune is his slave, and all her store, The less he seeks her, follows him the more. Born under joyful destinies, and smiling stars. Like to the stately swan, Rididing on streams of Bliss; more rich arrayed With earth's delight, than thoughts could put in ure, To glut the senses of an Epicure Tired with the surfeit of delight More fortunate than he, To whom both Indies tributary be. To move as a star in the orb of happiness, Moving in a Labyrinnth of delight Which have More happiness than modesty could crave. Fortune's great pledge, to whom Fa●e ever owed so much. Environed with delights Commanding Fortune. The favourite of heaven. In favour with the stars. Fortune's darling, Minion. Swimming, bathing in felicity, One that knows not so much as the name of misery, To whose nativity the Fates doow A swelling glory. For whom A glorious thread they spin, such as their Loom Is proud to see. An happiness worthy the envy of the gods. Happiness courts him in her best array, To whom all blessedness in nature is a servant. Child of indulgent fortune. As if Fortune had got eyes only to cherish him: As happy as Metellus. As Polycrates. Thy tents shall flourish in the joys of peace, The wealth and honour of thy house increase. Thy children and their offspring shall abound, Like blades of grass, that cloth the pregnant ground. Thou full of days like weighty shocks of corn, In season reaped shall to thy grave be born.

Frost. Keen frosts have chained up the deep. The streams are bound with ribs of ice. The floods in icy fetters bound. Crusted earth. Every honey-headed twig Wears his snowy Periwig, And every bough his snowy beard. Waters have bound themselves, and cannot run. Suffering what Xerxes fetters would have done. The fish are froze as they swim in the wave The wine is frozen in the cup. The Country swain. O'er the stiff waves doth drive his loaded Wain, The frozen wine both keep the vessel● shape. A shell of ice doth glaze the Rivers o'er, And had Leander such a shore descried, Then in that narrow sea he had not died The Frost doth cast an icy cream Upon the lakes and Crystal stream. Show me those flames you brag on, you that be Armed with those fires wine and Poetry. You are now benumbed spite of your god and verse, And do your Metaphors for prayers rehearse. Whilst you that call snow fleece and feathers, do Wish for true fleeces, and true feathers too. Our rivers are one Crystal, shores are fit Mirrors, not being now like glass, but it. Our ships stand all as planted, we may swea● They are not only born up, but grow there. While waters they are pavements firm as stone. And without faith are each day walked upon, What parables called folly heretofore, Was now discreet to build upon the shore: There's not one dines amongst us with washed hands Water is scarce here, as in Africa sands, And we expect it not, but from some god, Opening a fountain by some Prophet's rod, Who needs not seek out where he should unlock A stream, what e'er he struck would be true rock. When as heaven drops some smaller drops our sense Of grief's increased, being but deluded thence; For whilst we think those drops to entertain: They fall down pearls, which came down half way rain. Green Lands removal now the poor man fears, Seeing all water frozen but his tears. We suffer day continual and the snow Doth make a little night become noon now. We hear of some inchrystalled, such as have That which procured their death become their grave. Bodies that destitute of soul yet stood, dead, and fell not, drowned, yet without a Flood, Nay, we who breath still, are almost as they, And only may be called a softer clay, We stand like Statues, as if cast and fit For life, not having, b●t expecting it. Each man's become the Stoics wise man hence, For can you look for passion where's no sense? Which we have nor resolved to our first stone, Unless it be one sense to feel w' have none. Our very Smiths now work not, ●y what's more, Our Dutch men writ but five hours, and give o's. We dare provoke faith now, we know what 'tis To feel cold death, only by suffering this. All fires are Vestal now, and we as they Do in our Chimneys keep a lasting day, Boasting within doors our domestic Sun Adoring it with our Religion. We laugh at Fire-briefs now, although they be Commended to us by his Majesty, And 'tis not treason, for we cannot guess, That we should pay them for their happiness. Each hand would be a Scevola's, let Rome Call that a pleasure hence forth, not a doom. A Fever is become a wish, we si●. And think fallen angels have a benefit, Nor can the thoughts be impious when we see Wether that Booker durst not prophesy. Wether may give new Epocha'●, and make Another Since in his bold Almanac. Wether may save his doom, and by by his foe Be thought enough for him to undergo. We now think Alabaster true, and look A sudden trump should antedate his book; For whilst we suffer this, we ought not fear The world cannot survive to a fourth year; For sure we may conclude weak nature old, And crazy now, being she is grown thus cold: But frost's not all our grief, we that so sore ●ffer its stay, fear its departure more; For when that leaves which so long hath stood, 'Twill make us count from since the second Flood.

This day I received my private Gospel. Swell, swell my joys, and faint not to declare Yourselves as ample as your causes are, I did not live till now, this my first hour Wherein I see my thoughts reached by my power, The earth receives me not, 'tis air I tread, And each step that I take my advanced head Knocks out a star in heaven. More glad than is The teeming earth to see the longed for Sun Peep through the horns of the celestial ram, My joys like waves each other overcome, And gladness drowns where it gins to flow. It is the only way to make me contradict myself when I accounts myself miserable. I have not any discontent which is not lost in the joy I receive, This sweetness all the bitterness of my spirit in my most sens●ble distastes. Eenough to blot out all the story of my misfortune. I surfeit with excessive joy. Can there be a thing Under the heavenly Iris that can bring More joy unto my soul, or can present My Genius with a fuller blandishment, The raven almost famished joys not more When restless billows tumble to the shore An heap of bodies shipwrackt on the sea. I writ, and having written I destroy, Because my lines have bounds, but not my joy▪ So joys the Pilot that hath 'scaped a grave In the swelled bosom of an angry wave, And after all his shipwrecked hopes at last Doth in that port his joyful anchor cast, Which hath occasioned many pious airs, And been the subject of his serious prayers. Can fate present What after this, I can call discontent? More proud am I of this, than Phaeton When Phoebus flaming chariot he did guide; Before he knew the danger coming on, Or else than Jason, when from Colchos he Returned with the fleeces victory. Then on his neck shedding a shower of joy, That ten-years travelled Greek returned from sea Near joyed so much to see his Ithaca. Pouring himself into embracements, Losing himself in Labyrinths of joy. So joyed Andromeda freed from her chains And the grim monster. His breast scarce holds his joys, whose fancy works On golden wonders. I know not whether I then was more composed of joy or joy of me, for I seemed not merty, but mirth itself. As glad, as was the wandering youth of Greece, When he from Colchos brought the golden fleece. Like seamen that descry the land at last, For whose glad sight, they get the hatches under, And to the Ocean tell their joys in thunder. Shaking those barnackles into the sea, At once that in the womb, and cradle lay. As Nymphs and Shepherds when the timbrel rings, Or crooked Dolphin, when the sailor sings. Whose joy and mirth. Transcends the united pleasures of the earth. What angels tongue can let The world conceive our pleasures when we met. Who could have seen how that kind Roman dame O'ercome with joy did yield her latest breath, Her son returning laden with such fame, When thankful Rome had mourned for his death. Might have beheld her personated right, When I approached to— sight. Like as a man whose hourly wants implore Each meals relief, trudging from door to door, That hears no dialect from churlish lips, But news of Beadles and their torruring whips, Takes up perchance some unexpected treasure, New-lost, departs, and joyful beyond measure, Is so transported, that he scarce believes So great a truth, and what his eye perceives, Not daring trust, fearing it is some vision, Or fl●ttering dream, deserving but derision. I am too narrow to contain my joy. The Merchant when he ploughs the angry seas, And sees the mounting billows fall upon him. As if all elements, and all their anger Were turned into one vowed destruction, Shall not with greater joy embrace his safety. My joy cannot show itself modest enough without the badge of bitterness, my tears. My plenteous joys, Wanton in fullness, seek to hid themselves In drops of sorrow. Imparadised. An ecstasy of joy.

Chained by the teeth unto their meat and drink. Digging his own grave with his teeth. Witty and ambitious appetite. Three elements at least dispeopled be To satisfy judicious gluttony. Nice palates, Knowing stomaches, That never fast, but presently after dinner, The whole world is his confectionary. Banquet beagles. That wears his brains in his belly. That cannot judge the controverted c●se, Twixt meat and mouth, without the bribe of sauce. That gull the seas, Their witty appetite to please. That eat The heads of par●ets, tongues of nightingales.

And th● heavens a constant smile, Darted upon every thing, When no ship had brought from fare Neither ill sought ware nor war, Pale conscience started not at ugly sin When good old Saturn's peacefel throne Was unusurped by his beardless son. When jealous Ops ne'er feared the abuse Of her chaste bed, or breach of nuptial truce, When just Ast aea poised her scales, in mortal hearts. Saturn's reign, when as the homely cave, A narrow dwelling to the people ga●. A little hearth, small fire, when beasts and men Slept in the shadow of one common den, The herb gave wholesome seeds at first, And the clear fountain quenched their thirst, Beneath the shadow of the pine, Men slept, then in the Ocean brine; No keel was washed, no unknown guest On any foreign coasts did rest, No blood was shed through bitter hate, No arms took up to pluck on fate, For what should hostile fury do? Or stir up mad men's spirits unto. Saturn's reign, When as the earth unmeted did remain, And no long journey's known, the sea not cut By any crooked stern, as ye● 〈…〉 To such new but thence, and 〈◊〉 ●●dering wind To play withal, no limber say 〈◊〉 could find; Nor did the erring mariner so 〈◊〉 Travel, or yet find out the constant star. By which to steer, nor as they now do roam from remote places to bring traffic home. The servile yoke did not the bull disturb The unbackt Jennet knew no bit or curb, The dwelling house no door had, but stood open, Nor was the stone prefixed, that bounds the scope Of common fields, the bollow oak the hive That yielded honey, neither did they drive Their home, but with their udders swel●'d, They flocked unto the milkpail uncompelled, No wrath, no war, no armies to invade, For no smith then, knew how to cast a blade. In the world's young days Nation 'gainst nation did no forces raise T▪ invade each other, no man then for gain Da●'d in a thin ribbed bark to cross the main. No craft was known, no fraud then understood, The udders of their lent them food, The fleece their garments, only to defend. From wind and weather (for no other end Was clothing made) pride was a monster then Unheard, unthought, one fashion was to men. Women another, for no change they knew, One garb they kept, and studied nothing new, None idle was, but lived by his own sweat, ●he brook their drink, the herb and root their meat, ●he industrious ox safe wanders up and down. ●ares and bright felicity do crown And seed the land; through seas by Neptune tamed No sailors fly, faith feareth to be blamed. No chaste house with adultery defiled, C●stome and law had spotted sin exiled, Each man about his own hills shut up day, And 'bout the widow elms doth vines display, And frolic in free earouses. When every thought a seed did bring. And every look a plant did bring. And every breath a flower, Then earth unploughed did yield her crop, P●e honey from the oak did drop; The fountains did run milk, The thistle did the lily bear, And every bramble roses wear, And every worm made silk, The very shrub did balsam sweat, And nectar melt the rock with heat, And earth did drink her fill, That she no harmful weed did kow, Nor barren fern, nor mandrake low, Nor mineral to kill, The male and female used to joint, And into all delight did coin That pure simplicity, Then feature did to form advance, And youth called beauty forth to dance, And every grace was by, It was a time of no distrust So much of love, had nought of lust, None feared a jealous eye. The language melted in the ear, Yet all without a blush might hear, They lived with open vow. Each touch and kiss was so well placed, They were as sweet as they were chaste. The goats their swelling udders home did bear The droves did then no shaggy lion's fear; No herbs did with deceitful poison flow, And sweet Amomum every where did grow. Ripe grapes did dangle from the briers tops Hard oaks sweet honey form in dewy drops The pine did then no use of trade retain. Each country bred all fruit, the earth disdained The harrows weight, and vines the sickles stroke. Strong ploughmen let their bulls go free from yokes, Wool learned not to dissemble colours strange, But rams their fleeces then in pastures changed To pleasing purple, or to saffron die, And lambs turn ruddy, as they feeding lie. The golden time which uncompelled, And without rule in faith and truth excelled, As then there was nor punishment, nor fear Nor threatening laws in brass prescribed were, Nor suppliant crouching prisoners stooped to see Their angry judge, but all was safe and free. To visit other worlds no wounded pine Did yet from hills to faithless seas decline. Then unambitious mortals knew no more But their own country's natur-bounded shore, Nor swords nor arms were yet no trenches round Besieged towns nor strifefull trumpets sound, The soldier of no use in firm content And harmless ease their happy days were spent, The yet free earth did of her own accord, Untorn with ploughs, all sorts of fruits afford, Content with natures unenforced food. They gather wildings, straw buries of the wood, Sour kernels, what upon the bramble grows, And Acorns which Jove's spreading oak bestows. 'Twas always spring, warm Zephyr sweetly blew On smiling flowers, which without setting grew; Forth with the earth, corn unmanured bears, And every tree renews her golden ears, With milk and nectar were the rivers filied, And honey from green holly-oaks distilied. When froth-born Venus, and her br●t, With all that furious brood young Jove begar. In horrid shapes, were yet unknown Those Haleyon days, those golden days are gone. There was no client then to wait The leisure of a long-tailed Advocate. The Talion law was in request, And Chancery courts were kept in every breast; Abused statutes had no tenters, And men could deal secure without indenters; There was no peeping hole, to clear The wittols eye from his incarnate fear. There were no lustful cinders then To broyl, the carbonadoed hearts of men; The rosy cheek did then proclaim A shame of guilt, but not a guilt of shame. There was no whining soul to start At Cupid's twang, or curse his flaming dart. The boy had then but callow wings, And fell Erynnis scorpions had no stings. The better acted world did move Upon the fixed poles of truth and love; Love essenced in the hearts of men, Then reason ruled, there was no passion then, Till lust and rage began to enter, Love the circumference was, and love the centre, Until the wanton days of Jove, T●e simple world was all composed of love.

Medusa's snaky head, which who looks on Is straight congealed to a sencelesle stone, On whom Minerva her due vengeance takes, In turning of her radiant hairs to snakes, For her unlawful pleasures in her fane, From whose hot blood, when her bold Perseus slew, Thence Pegasus, and thence Chrysaor flew Under the frosty Atlas' cliffy side: Grape. The juicy burden of the vine. The spicy clusters of the vine, The juicy vines attire. The purple pendants of the vine. The dangling jewels of the clustered vine. The swelling clusters great with child of Bacchus. Giving the eyes a pleasant taste, Before they give the mouth repast. Grasse The mountains motley lock. The green plush of the plains, The enamelied valleys flowery fleece, The checkered vesture of the Meads, Dressing the valleys in their shaggy freeze. The tufted mantle of the fields. The earth's green Summer gown. Grave. v. Stoic S●ldome he smiles, and smiles in such a sort, As if he mocked himself and scorned his spirit, That could be moved to smile at any thing, That looks with such Majestic grace ' As if he swayed an Empire in his face. The Grave. Tomb, Urn, shrine, monument, , vault, charnel, Last home. The cold bed. The common Inn. The harder Lodging of mortality, deep Goal of Death The charitable honour. The everlasting bed, Which makes no changing of the Sheets. Earth's dark bosom. Death's cold embers. Death's melancholy dungeon. Caves of death. The cabinet where is laid the pawn for the Souls re-turn. The bed of clay. The wormie bed. Death's public tiring house, where all men must, Measure their cold proportion in the dust, That locketh up our scattered dust, That she must audit upon trust, That quiet closet of content. The child's portion, our common mother bequeathes her children. Dusty confinement of the body. That dusty bed. Where unfelt worms, are all the fleas are bred. within whose dusty Territories plowmen are full. Compeers to K●ngs, where the spade may challenge precedence ●f the Sceptre, and where the mitre may not contest with the ●●●tock. There where the weary from their labours rest. Nor pisoners there enforced by torments cry, 〈◊〉 fearless by their old tormentors lie. ●he mean and great on equal basis stand, No servants there obey, nor Lords command, Where all in silence mourn, From whose dark shores no travellers return, A Land where death, confusion, endless night, And horror reign, where darkness is their light. Great. Of the Gigantic Size. The Folio of nature or of art. Nature's text-hand. Nature's great capital letters. Of vast proportion. Large Dimensions. Grief. v. Melancholy That froward Scholar in Arithmetic, Who doth Division and Substraction fly, And only learns to add and multiply. Beauty's moth, cancer. Daughter of care and misery. Souls-afflicting vinegar. To Grieve. v. Mourn. Lament. Groan. v. Sigh. The end of this gave life unto a groan, As if her life and it had been but one. Sad symptom of oppressing misery, Wounding the pitying air. Grove. v. Dark, Silent Wood All hushed and silent as the mid of night. Birds that compassion from the rocks could bring, Had only licence in that place to sing. Whose doleful notes the melancholy Cat, Close in an hollow tree sat wondering at, Trees nod their curled heads as they would be The judges to approve their melody, Where Fairies danced, and Shepherds quills, In sweet contention past the tedious day: Dark silent grov●, profaned by no unholy love. Where witty melancholy ne'er Did carve the trees or wound the air, Where nought except a solitary spring Was ever heard, to which the Nymphs did sing, Narcissus obsequies. The scattered grove Leads winter shelters, and gives summer bowers, As with the flood in courtesy it strove, And by repulsing the sharp Northern showers, Courts the proud Castle, who by turning to her, Smiles to behold the wanton wood nymph woo her, A bushy grove pricking the looker's eye, Where every morn a choir of Sylvans song, And leavs to chattering winds served as a tongue, By which the water turns in many a ring, As if it fain would stay to hear them sing, And on the top a thousand young birds fly To be instructed in their harmony Guilty. v. Blush. Whose guiltiness betraying blushes speak, That makes his fault legible in his cheeks, His trembling lips, and his disjointed word. Attainted breast. The conscious thoughts. Giant. Sighing out clouds of breath. From his great yawning nostrils, the earth's bold sons, A moving rock, a walking, stalking tower. Great stones he fling, Like quarries by a warlike engine slung. A walking Aetna, nature's great Folio. A stalking mast, Nature's text-hand, Nature's whole cloth. He that saw him go Would think some steeple reeled to and fro. When the dreadful monster stirred His massy limbs, beneath his feet he rea●'d A cloud of dust, and wheresoe'er he went. Flight, fear and death his ghastly steps attend, That swears by great Mahoon, moving mount of flesh. Corflambo, Garugan●u●. Colbrand, Brandamart, Typheous, Antipha●es, Polyphemus, Brontes, Steropes, Pyracm●n The serpent footed issue that durst invade, And would on heaven their hundred hands have laid. Tirans. Mimas, Porphyrian, Enceladius, Rhaetus ●reat sons of earth. Of large dimensions. The great hill-lifters. Guns. Engines whose rude throats. The immortal Jove's great thunder, sergeant. The weighty circumstance of glorious war. ●i●ick thunder, ●pes of thunder, Whose vast throats disgorge, And with loud thunder belch their angry language. Vomiting out, digested into flame, What was but dust crammed in. Cowardly cruelty, That date not speak, nor do, but at a distance, H. Hair. THE heads native ornament. Nature's shadow. Locks like streams of liquid amber Smoothly dangling seemed to spread, Curtains fit for beautes chamber. Hang fit for beauty's bed, Of which slender golden sleeve Love his wanton nets did wove. The strings of Cupid's bow. Venus' trammells. Sleavy Amber. Cupid's sleavy chains, Ensnaring nets like to the rays, Wherewith the sun doth diaper the seas. Had fair Arachne wrought her hair, When she for skill with Pallas did compare. Minerva's work had never been esteeemed. The silken fringes of the head, Her hair was rolled in many a curious fret, Like to a rich and artful Coronet. Upon whose arches twenty cupids lay, And were, or tied. or loath to fly about. Such hair. As those that lay their tresses to the Sun, View hers, and see if theirs be not agreeing To roll them up, as scarcely worth the seeing. Her tresses far more fair, Would show in heaven, than Berecynthians' hair, Her plenteous hair in curled billows swims, On her bright shoulders, and harmonious limbs. The flaxen wealth of nauture. The dangling curls. The bounteous treasure of her hair, Whose dangling tresses if they had been shorn, Yet never cut and unto Colchas born, They had allured the venturous youth of Greece, To hazard more than for the golden Fleece. Bright Phebaean hair, Where perfumed Meanders are. That amorous cordage, glistering groves. As if that nature for so rare a piece. Had meant a shadow, Whose curious tresses dangle all unbound With unaffected order to the ground. Her tresses falling down, As loath to be imprisoned on her Crown. I saw the soft air sportively to take To divers forms, and sundry shapes to make it. Nature's rich fan, whose wires are drawn Softer than the threads of Lawn, And are softer than the leaves On which the subtle spinner weaves, That net of beams able to captive Jove. Vulcan need not a finer, stronger net, For Venus and her Champion to set. On whose radiant hair Cupid sits fettered in a golden snare. Her dishevelled hair Hung down behind, as if her only care Had been to reconcile neglect and art. His hair becomes him like the star That ushers in the day. Locks some curled, some forgotten, with such a careless care and art dissembling art, as she seemed she would lay them for a pattern, whether nature simply, or nature helped by cunning were the more excellent. A net able to have caught Jupiter When he was an eagle. It was doubtful whether the hair graced the garland, or the garland the hair. Whose odour fills the ambient air. Which losest fastest rinsed. The golden sea, whose waves in curls are broken. The wanton winds, with beauties so divine. Ravished, stayed not, till in her golden hair, They did themselves in sweetest prison twine, And fain the sportive winds, there would their stay Have mad, but forced by nature still to fly. First did the puffing kisses her locks display. Her sunny locks Hang on her temples like a golden fleece. Nature there played the spider, and hath wove A golden mesh●●'intrap the hearts of men. Like a Laconian maid, ▪ Ties her neglected hair in curious braides▪ Locks so aptly twined That every hair a soul doth bind. Insnating all beholders. Like to the silk the curious Seres spin. Which from their crown Phoebus and Bacchus wished were hanging down. Small as the w●e●y net Which Vulcan once for Mats and Venus set. Hail. The candid balls of ice. The candid pellets of the sky. The northwest wind under the weeping kid. Never so thick his volleys racketed. Of bounding balls, of icy pearl. The gunshot of the skies. Halcyon. The azure-plumed Halcyones. Whose birth controls the raging seas. Birds of calm that brood upon the charmed wave. Hands. Nature's handmaids. The body's victuallers. A wealthy palm Which holds the sweeting of the Eastern balm. Whence Jove might sip out nectar. Fingers the darts of love, Which with a touch might make a tiger me●k, So soft, so feeling delicate and sleek, As Nature wore the lilies for a glove. As might beget life, where was never none, And put a spirit into flinty stone. Where whiteness doth for ever sit, Nature herself enamelded it, Where with a strange compact dothly, Warm snow, moist pearl, soft ivory. There fall those saphire-coloured brooks, Which conduit like, with curious crooks, Sweet Lands make in that sweet land; As for the fingers of that hand, The bloody shafts of Cupid's war, With Amethists they headed are, Which without stroke subdue. Which with their whiteness make one desire to touch them, and with their softness rebound a desire to look on them. In whose comparison all whites are ink, Writing their own reproach, to whose soft seizure The cygnets down is harsh, and spirit of sense, Hard as the ploughman's hand. Hanged. Choked with a hempen squincy. To dangle from the cursed tree. To go to heaven in a string To take a turn at Tyburn Happy V. Fortunate I am in Elysium. I will pronounce this for my birth day. Placed in the Apogaeum. Zenith of all happiness Whose bliss Meets his desires, or prevents his wish. One that hath so much happiness, as puzzles his soul to find subject for another wish. Envy to cry could scarce forbear, Finding no argument could urge a tear, I am too great for Fortune to bereave, Though much she ravish, she much more must leave. My blessings are above low fear, Like N●obe before, Latona's doom. Blessed Beyond the treasures of the balmy East. Every day Rose with delight, and with it to us set. An happiness, which Jove would be More proud of far, than of his deiry. Writes a non ultra to his bliss. ●n happiness which none can have but he, ●ust blush to call aught after misery. Hard. Hard as the ploughman's hand. As the camels c●llows knee. As adamant, Which nought can soften but the blood of goats. Hard as the unrelenting tyrant's heart. As the Scythian rock. As fire-engendring flint. As the stiff ribs of iron. As the lasting marble. As solid brass. As the rocky stone. Harpies. The virgin raping fowls. Stimphalian monsters. Tartarian birds. Aello. Ocypete. Celaeno. ●ore horrid monsters, direr plagues than those, Or wath of Gods, from Styx yet never risen, Like fowl with virgin faces, purging still Their filthy paunches, armed with talons ill, And ever pale with famine. Jupiter's dogs. Daughters of Neptune, and old Tellus. Parents of prodigies. Phineus tormentors, which with hooky claws, Snatched all his meat, to glut their filthy maws. Harvest. v. Autumn. The reaper panting both for heat and pain, With crooked razor shaves the tufted plain, The full ears humbling their flowery top, Are even as ready with a grateful crap, To think the husband for his painful toil. The summer's green is girded up in sheaves, Borne on the bear with white and bristly beard. Now the industrious harvester, Scorched all day with his own scalding heat, Shaves with keen sith, the glory and delight Of motley meadows. When Ceres yellow locks are shorn. Hast. v. Swift. Each step the other strives to overgo. With hasty feet, swallowing the tedious way, With speed that went before the winged thought. With speed untainted by delay. With a lover's speed. Stewed in his reeking sweat. Each envious pace vies to be first. Hast looks through his eyes. With such speed, He's almost dead for breath, hath scarcely more Than will make up his message. With as much haste as they would fly death. To spar, to give wings, to feather flight, to post. Hate. To pursue with a stepdame's hate. The tender swallow hateth less the cold. He hates me like a dog or snake, The Gods cannot more hate the Stygian lake. Pursues him with Vatinian hate. Bupalian hate. God loves not goodness more than she hates thee. Unreconciled hatred. When these agree, Nature will reconcile antipathies. So plants love oil. So vines the colwort love. So sheep love wolves. 'Swounds at the very name. And sinks as if he mean the Antipodes To see, and leave this loathed hemisphere Wherein I breath. Haven. Harbour, port, safe station of the tossed barge. C●lme bosoms that embrace the sh●p. The weary seamans' wish and hope. The long expected shore. That hath occasioned many pious airs, And been the subject of the seamans' prayer. Hawk. The common terror of the doves. The airy hunter. The insulting tyrant of the air▪ The airy pirate, Rover. Head. Crest, sommet, globe of wonder. That doth contain All sense, and fountain of all sense, the brain. Health. My pulse beats music, and my lively blood Danceth an healthful measure. Whose brow no wrinkle bears, Whose cheeks no paleness, in whose eyes no tears, But like a child, she's pleasant, quick and plump, She seems to fly, to skip, to dance and jump, And life's bright brand in her white hand doth shine, The Arabians bird rare plumage plaited fine Serves her for surcoate, and her seemly train, Mirth, exercise, and temperance sustain. Whose humours in sweet temper lie With undisturbed harmony. The humours calm. Hear. To salute the ear. To be presented to the ear. To strike, to beat the ear. To entertain the attentive ear. To glad the ear. To wound, to stab the ear. Harken. v. Attend. To grace with attention. To lend a willing, yielding ear. To lend soft audience, Afford the speakers tongue an ear. Heart.

The suns offensive rage. Hot as the scalding ray Which Phoebus darts, when he divides the day Into its equal halves, Hot as the torrid zone. Burning with a calenture. So hor was the Tyrinthian when he wore The poisoned shirt washed in the Centaur's gore. So burning Phaeton, when he did drive The flaming chariot. My bulk to Aetna turns, And all her flames penned in my bosom burn. I dare that fire itself for heat provoke That chambers in the sky. Like flames of burning sulphur. Acheron. Phlcgethon. Hot as a burning fever. As Perillus' bull. Seething, boiling, sultry, stewing, baking, brewing, frying, roasting, broiling, parching, scorching, burning, flaming, chased smoking, sweeting, reeking, glowing, findging, scalding. Hot as the flaming furnace. Heaven. The Olympic Hall. Jove's white hall. The starty vault. The stately palace of the Gods. The spangled canopy. The airy battlements.

Harmonious orbs that roll In restless gires about the Arctic pole. Hector. Andromache's stout husband. Priam's tall son. Priam's valiant son.

Priam's fruitful wife, That gave the all illustrious Hector life. That scratched out Polymnestors' eyes. Buried with stones upon her fling, Yet first revenged with curses of her tongue. Whom raging grief converted to a bitch. Ulysses scorned lot. Unhappy Queen, Which after she so much of joy had seen, Had life by fates unkindest kindness lent, To see her daughters impious ravishment; Her sons untimely fate, her husband die, And rolled in blood before Jove's altar lie; Polyxena dear issue of her womb, A sacrifice upon Achilles' tomb; And which was worse than all she saw before, The liveless corpse of her young Polydore. Helen. v. Beautiful. The beauty of whose cheeks Brought against Troy the army of the Greeks. Paris unhappy bride. Leda's fair daughter, That charming beauty, free from tainting spot, Worthy of Jove, if not by Jove begot. The twin-brothers pride. Hell. Sad Averno's strand. The depths to heaven-opposed.

To strangle serpents was his cradle sport. Who when he saw the Thracian horses feast With humane flesh, their mangers overthrew, And with the steeds, their wicked master slew. Jove's cruel wife was sooner weary to impose, Than he was to perform. Whose garment that he wrapped his body in, Was glorious spoils, the Nemean Lion's skin: The injured world's revenger, and his own. First he the grim Cleonian Lion slew; Next Hydra did with sword and fire subdue; The Erimanthian Boar with Javelin stroke; The brass hooved stag with golden antlers took; The chased Stymphalideses his arrows felt, From th'Amozonian won her precious belt; Then cleansed Augaeus stalls with ordure full, And vanquished the furious Cretan bull; S●erne Diomedes his ravenous horses threw, Three-headed Geryon in Iberia slew; The Hesperian dragon-guarded apples won, And scowling Cerberus shown to the sun.

Whose lofty top Nature hath made contiguous to the heavens, Whose lofty top doth know No distance from the Skies. Singing his pate against the torrid Zone. Makes Offa like a wart. That emulate the Sky, As they would ease great Atlas of his load, That rear Their glitering tops, which fatal lightning fear, Invade the Skies, And bid defiance to the Sky, That lick the stars, and steal a kiss from heaven, That muffle up their heads within the clouds. Like Athos Mount, Or Erix steep and long, Or like old Apeninus raised on high Into the Air, kissing the starry Sky. Whose top seems to despise The under vale— doth rise▪ In stately height to parley with the Skies, As Mountains on whose barren breast, The labouring clouds do often rest. Whose stately eminence. Vassals the under vales circumference, So high as if they meant, To ease strong Atlas of his punishment, Whose head like winged fame, Might pierce the clouds, yea seem the stars to kiss, And Mausolus' great tomb might stand in this. Tempting the Sky, so ●gh From thence swelled mountains seem but to the eye As atoms, losing their heads within the Sky, Bearding the stars, thrusting acquaintance on the Sky Proudly insulting o'er the under Sky, Whose lofty foreheads brush the stars, As if thee meant to put out heavens bright eyes, As if they meant to scale the Skies, Whose height doth court the clouds, Scaling Olympus snowy brow, Knocking their h●ows against heavens brazen doors, That heaven and earth atone. That reach heavens battlements, So high They threatened to give battle to the Sky, Which show Against the height of heaven their pointed brow. Sky-kissing, air-invading, High as Riphoean hills.

He lifts his hasty hoof, as if he scorned The earth, as if his tabering feet had found A way to go, and yet ne'er touch the ground. Bounds from the earth, as if his entrails were hairs. He is pure air and fire. Earth and water never show themselves in him, but in his still patience to let his ●ider mount him. There stamps a Steed that champs the frothy steel. This strokes the ground, that scorns it with his heel. His neck with thunder armed, his breast with force, Who from his nostrils throws a dreadful, light E●alts in his own courage, proudly bounds, With trampling hoof the sounding Centre wounds, Breaks through the ordered ranks with eyes that burn, Nor from the battle-ax nor sword will turn, The rattling Quiver, nor the glittering Spear, Or dazzling Shield can daunt his heart with fear, Through rage and fierceness he devours the ground, Nor in his fury hears the trumpet sound, Far off the battle smells, like thunder neighs, Loud shouts and dying groans his courage raise. One snorts, another puffes out angry wind, This mounts before, and that curvets behind, That with their hoofs so swift beat out the race, As if an engine shot them to the place, Going as if they did disdain the ground, And treading on it, not for necessity, but in contempt. The battered Centre flew V Dubarta's Handicrafts description of an horse. In clouds of dust raised from their prancing hoofs, That beat a thunder from the groaning earth. Hour. Time's lesser children. The fleeting measures of the day. The rags and bits of time. Time labours to bring forth, 7, 8, 9, etc. Humble. Unambitious, spirit-groveling, low-pitcht soul.

Lawless, famine, self-consuming hunger, Which makes men feed, on that they cannot feed Their weakened limbs. Hunger, the bellies flame. The empty bellies lean inhabitant.

None more, The choice affected, or t'entoil the bore, The tops of Mountains scale, And trace the leavy woods, Follows the cry of hounds, And drives the hair along the fallow grounds, Wakening the prattling echo— sounds, And shrill Alarms of the foul mouthed hounds, Whilst hounds do make the woody hills, Talk in an hundred voices to the rills. The savage and the bloody sport Of chaste Diana— that loves to set The toils, and chase the Deer into the net, Whose choicest music is the cry of hounds. Quick-sihred Beagles in a view, O'er hill and dale, the fleeing chase pursue The scented trace.

If small legs wan; Ever the title of a Gentleman; His did acquit it, in his flesh pulled down, As he had lived in a beleaguered town.

Putting her fingers to unrip, the seal Cleaving to keep those sorrows from her eyes, As it were loath the tidings to reveal, Whence grief should spring in such variety, But strongly urged, both to her will appeal, When the soft w●x unto her touch implies, Sticking unto her fingers bloody red, To show the bad news quickly followed, And for a fescue, she doth use her tears, That when some line she loosely overpast, The drops do tell her where she left the last, Her trembling hand as in a fever shakes, Wherewith the the paper doth a little stir, Which she imagines at her sorrow shakes, And pities it, which she thinks pities her, Made the short letter long, by reading it oft over. I burst open the letter, but not till after the third pluck, as if the● dumb wax, pitying my too nigh approaching unhappiness, seeme● to be an unwilling messenger of my misery.

Whose heart is nothing but a stage of Tragedies. Time seemed to forget her, bestowing no one hour of comfort upon her. Without any comfort or easement, but when the stars breathed for a greater misery. Ripe misery had her harvest in him. The triumph of the hateful destinies. Miserable below the reach of pity.

Enough to have taught sorrow to the gladdest thoughts, and have en●●ved it in the minds of hardest metals. Misery enough to justify excessive sorrow. One whom the Fates have marked to be A feeler of th' extremes of misery, A soul bruised with adversity. Groaning under the sad load of woes, Where life hath no more interest but to breath. Such misery As might have sprinkled even the gods with tears, And make the Stoic leave his Principles.

Misery is witty in our plagues, whose misery is grown to such an height, As make the earth groan to support its weight. Clothed in misery. The abstract of all misery.

A far finer man than he thinks on, that confutes his commenders, giving reasons to think they are mistaken, and is angry if they do not believe him, a bawdy jest shall more shame him than a bastard another, and if you take him by his look, he is guilty. Modesty, that cumbersome familiar of womankind. Her motion blushed at itself. When dishonesty comes near her ear, wonder stops it out, and saves virtue the labour. Monk. v. Anchorite. Moon.

Who from their lofty mangers forthwith led His fiery horses with Ambrosia fed. The humid night Beyond th' Hesperian vale hath ta'en her flight: Aurora's splendour re-enthrones the day, Aurora doth her dapple cheeks display, And from the East doth usher in the day, When aged night Aurora's blushes fled, When from th' approaching morn the stars withdrew And that the Sun had drunk the scorched dew, Lucifer displays Aurora's blush, and she Apollo's rays, The dewy confines of the night and day. When grey Aurora now had vanquished night, When Sol had raised his beams above the flood, Now Lucifer exalts the day, to hell Old night descended. Day sprung, and mountains shone with early beams The morning night dismasks with welcome flame. Now Lucifer awakes The dewit morn. The time, when light the gloomy night invades. B●ight Lucifer his taper shows, The harbinger of day; T●●'enlightned world resigns to Phoebus' sway. That time the light Gins his triumph o'er the vanquished night.

The dawn usur pes upon the night. What time the sun first gilds th'Horizon with his radiance. Blushing Aurora sweetly peeping out, Chides in the stars. The sun gins to suck His early balm, and Island spices. The glory of the next day's light, Had chased the shadows of the tedious night. The darkness flies, and light is hurled Round about the silent world. When the shrill cock proclaims the infant day▪ The day gins to disclose his comfortable beauties. The rosy morning draws away The sable curtain, and lets in the day. Like Venus rising from a sea of jet. When as the shady gloom Doth give the day her room. T●e rising sun Doth show the victory that he hath won Of cloudy night. The hour when we might Not speak a falsehood, if we called it night, The morning having dispossessed the night, Makes the sky wear her livery of light. The palefaced empress of the night Hath resurrendered up her borrowed light. And early Hesper shoots his golden head, To usher Titan from his purple bed. When dewy cheeked Aurora's purple die, Dapples the beauty of the morning sky. Aurorora doth display Her golden locks, anu summons up the day. Titan heaves up his head, From off the pillow of his saffron bed. Titan now ready for his journal race, Hath roused his dewy locks and rosy face, Enriched with morning beauty. Phoebus hath now upheaved his golden head, From the soft pillow of his sea-green bed, And with his rising glory hath possessed The spacious borders of th' enlightened east. Grey lines do fret the clouds, the messengers of day. The winking Mary buds open their golden eyes. The rising, breaking light. The stars are vanquished by the morning's flame. The morning sun erects his beams, And rarefies the earth with piercing gleams, Lady of light, the rosy fingered morn. Sol with his face new washed in cleansing waves, Enchased the skies. The new fired sun Strikes the broad fields. The cheerful Lady of the light, Clad in her saffron robe, Dispersed her beams through every part Of th' enflowred globe. The morning's beauty now had glazed the sky. The rosy morn holds out her silver light, Now drew the suns bright steeds light from the hills. When Phoebus fiery car Threw darkness of its wheels, When now the thirsty sun drank up the stars. When light doth show Her silver forehead, Aurora risen from her loved Tithonus' bed. Fair Nymph, whose chaste and fragrant beauties run A course that honours and prevents the sun; 'Tis thou that breaking through th' enlightened ●ire, Comest first abroad, and shak'st day from thy hair. Aurora rose, And from her orient tresses threw the light, The morning sitting in a throne of gold, Surveyed the earth. The early riser with the rosy hands. Soon as the white and red mixed fingered dame Had gilded the mountains with her saffron flame. Now the next morning's light sprang from the east; And Sols bright rays the dewy shades decreased. Sols puffing steeds begin to breath out day From their inflamed nostrils. The modest morn on earth's vast zone, The gladsome day doth re-enthrone. The spring of day Bloomed from the east. The dawning grey, The ensign of a glorious day. The morn doth look out of her eastern gates, portals▪ Casements, chiding the stars to bed. When the next day had with his morning light Redeemed the East from the dark shades of night, And with his golden rays had over spread, And all the neighbour hills embroidered. When the next morning had renewed the day, And the early twilight now had chased away The pride of night, and made her lay aside Her spangled robes. The lily-handed morn Saw Phoebus stealing dew from Ceres' corn. The mounting lark, day's herald got on wing, Bidding each bird choose out their bough to sing. By this had Chantecleere the village clock, Bidden the goodwife for her maids to knock, And the swart ploughman for his breakfast stayed, That he might till the lands which fallow laid, The hills and valleys here and there resound With the re-ecchoes of the deepmouthed hound; Each shepherd's daughter with her cleanly pail Was come a field, to mi●ke the morning's meal, The bees were not got out, nor scaly fry, Beg●n to leap, and ca●ch the drowned fly. Aurora Kisseth the perfumed cheeks of dainty Flora, The sun our Hemisphere hath repossessed, The early rising lark sings up the ploughman. The Muse's friend Grace eyed Aurora ye● Held all the meadows in a cooling sweat, The milk-white Gossamores not upward snowed, Nor was the sharp and useful steering goad, Laid on the strong-necked ox, no gentle bud, The sun had dried, the chewed the cud, Low levelled on the grass, no flies quick sting Info●c'● the stone horse in a furious ring, To tear the passive earth, nor lash his tail About his buttocks, yet the s●●my snail M●ght on the wainscot, by his many mazes, Winding Meanders, and self-knitting traces Be followed, where he stuck his glittering slime Not yet wept off, it was so early time, The careful smith had in his sooty forge Kindled no coal, nor did his hammer urge His neighbour's patience, owls abroad did fly, And day as then might plead its infancy. The morn came out with sandals grey. Eous and his fellows in the team, (Who since their watering in the western stream, Had run a furious journey to appease The night-sick eyes of our Antipodes.) Now sweeting were in our horizon seen To drink the cold dew from each flowery green. The morning now in colours richly dight, Stepped over the eastern thresholds. The day, drew from the earth her pitchy veil away And all the flowery vales with carols rung, That by the mounting la●ke were shrilly sung, The dusky mists rise from the crystal floods, And darkness no where reigned, but in the woods, The chaste morn all her beauty now discloses, Ou●-bl●shing all the emulating roses, When the cock with lively d●n Scatters the rear of darkness thin, Of lis●ining how the hounds and horn, clearly rouse the slumbering morn. The ruddy horses of the rosy morn O●● of the eastern gates had newly borne, Their blushing Mistress in her golden chair, Spreading new light throughout o●● Hemisphere. The Lyric larks practise their sweetest strain, A●ror●'s early blush to entertain. The day star late sunk in the Ocean bed, Do●h now again repai●e his drooping head, And tricks his bea●s, which with new spangled ore, Flame in the forehead of the morning sky. The day out of the Ocean main Began to peep above this earthly mass With pearly dew sprinkling the mountain grass. The shining morn bewrays unto the gloomy world her face Before the lamp of light. Above the earth upreard his flaming head. When the ra●he morning newly now awake, S●arce with fresh beauty furnished her brow, Herself beholding in the general lake, To which she pays her never ceasing vows. Scarce h●d the sun dried up the dewy morn, And scarce the heard gone to the hedge for shade. The early lark mounts from th● sullen earth, And sings her hymns to welcome in the light, The prime of day breaks through the pregnant east. The sun doth rise, And shu●s the lids of all heavens lesser eyes. With quivers Nymphs ado●ne Their active sides, and wake the morn With the shrill music of their horn. When everystar fled from th' approaching sun bu● Lucifer. Bright day dissolves the d●mps of night. The Pleiades grow dim, each nearer star, Loseth his light, Boots lazy car. T●rnes to the plain complexion of the skies, And Lucifer the grea● star darkened flies From the hot day. A●rora now from Tithonus' purple bed Arose, and th' eastern sky discoloured, Gave cheerful notice of th' approaching sun. The ●osie fingered morn Kisseth each flower that by her dew is borne. Envious light, chides away the silent night. By this Apollo's golden harp began To sound forth music to the Ocean, Which watchful Hesperus no sooner heard, But he the days bright-bearing car prepared, And ran before, as harbinger of light, And with his flaring beams mock● ugly night, Till she o'ercome with anguish, care, and rage Threw down to hell her loathsome carriage. The night's dislodged, and now The morn is trimming of her virgin brow To court the sun, when from the western deep, And Te●hys lap his glimmering beams do peep, To ascend his glorious car. Days porter hath unhinged the painted door. When the sun scatters by his light All the Rebellions of the night. When Chanticleer the bellman of the morn, S●mmons up twilight with his bugle horn. The night's swift cou●se with silence is outworn, And gives a kind farewell unto the day; The winged musicians which awake the morn, With hollow throats and horned bills do play. The illustrious officer of day, First worshipped in the east, 'gins to display The glory of his beams, then buds unfold Their chary leaves, each dew-drowned marigold Insensibly doth st●r itself, and spread, Each violet lifts up his pensive head. The evening of th' Antipodes. The early dawn enamelling the air●. Heaven p●ays the good huswife, and puts her candles out When first the morning hath her mantle spread. The sable night's dislodged, and now began Aurora's usher with his w●ndy f●n, Gently ●o shake the woods on every side; While his fair mistress like a stately bride, With flowers and gemes and Indian gold doth spangle Her lovely locks her lovers looks to tangle, When gliding through the air in mantle blue, With silver fringe, she drops the silver dew. Aurora now her treasures forth had brought Edging the silver clouds with fringe of gold, And hangs the skies with arras rarely wrought, powdered with pearl and precious stones untold, Yet weeps she, for she thinks it all too small To welcome great Apollo to her hall. The glorious sun doth gild the day. ●ights cheerful dame in saffron robes did shine, Whose silver beams through every part dispe●st Of the terrestrial globe did now refine The thickened air, and leavy forests pierced. Now sparkling Titan burnished Neptunes waves, And spread his beams on earth's enameled breast. The bashful morn doth long in vain Court the amorous Marigold, With sighing blasts and weeping rain, Yet she refuseth to unfold. But when the planet of the day Approacheth with his powerful ray, Then she spreads, than she receives His wa●mer beams into her virgin leaves. The blushes of the morn appear, And now she hangs her pearly store, Fished from the eastern shore, 〈◊〉 cowslips bell, and roses leaves. The rapid motion of the spheres, Old night from our Horizon bears: And now declining shades give way To the return of cheerful day. The morn doth now display The purple ensign of ensuing day. The sun ready to ride. Night's dusky shadows fly, And morning flecks the rose-enamelled sky. Phoebus' now prunes himself. His way is strowed with roses. The beauteous Harbinger of day ●●●sht from the Eastern pillow, where she lay Clasped in her Tython's arms, red with those kisses, Which being enjoyed by night, by day she misses. As soon as Titan gilds the eastern hills, And chirping birds, the Saints-bell of the day Ring in our ears a warning to devotion. Light now repa●●es the wrongs of night. When Sol with morning glory fills the eyes Of gazing mortals, whose victorious ray, Chasing the night rethrones deposed day. The illustrious prince of light, Riseth in glory from his Crocean bed, And tramples down the horrid shapes of night, The early bugle horn Of Chantecleer had summoned up the morn. The eastern lamps begin To fail, and draw their nightly glory in. Ere the first cock his ma●●ens rings. By this the broad sa●'● Quirister of night Surceased her screeching note, and took her flight To the next neighbouring ivy. Birds and beasts Forsake the warm protection of their nests. And nightly dens, whilst darkness doth display Her sable curtains to let in the day. Phoebe now to the lower world retires, Attended with her train of lesser fires. The gray-eyed janitor doth now begin To open his eastern portals and let in The new borne day, which having lately hurled The shades of night into the lower world; The dewy cheek'● Aurora doth unfold Her purple curtains, all besringed with gold; And from the pillow of his Crocian bed, Don Phoebus raiseth his refulgent head, That with his all discerning eyes survaies, And gilds the mountains with his morning rays. In the flowery east Fair Erycina with her beamy crest Raiseth Aurora; and she starts with blushing, From aged Tithonus' cold arms quickly rushing, Opens the wide ga●●s of the welcome day, And with a beck summons the sun away; Who quickly mounting on his glistering chair Courseth his nimble horse, through the air, With swi●ter pace, than when he did pursue, The laurel changed Nymph that from him flew. The morn in russet mantle clad, Walks over the dew on yond high eastern hill. The glow worms uneffectual fire, begins to pale Aurora rising from her blushing wars, Doth with her rosy hand put back the stars, Now o'er the sea from her old love comes she, That draws the day from heavens cold axletree. When light ●●●ps through the glimmering eyelids of the morn. Flame-snorting Phlegon's ruddy breath began, ●educing day, to gild the Indian. Aurora's saffron ray, On the Horizon doth renew the day. Au●o●a weary of her cold embrace With her old spouse, began in Ind apace To paint her portal of an opal hue. Before the worshipped sun Pears through the golden windows of the east. The all cheering sun, In the remotest east gins to draw The shady curtains of Aurora's bed. The grey eyed morn smiles on the frowning night, Checkering the eastern clouds with streaks of light, And freckeled darkness like a drunkard reels From forth day's path, and Titan's burning wheels, When silver streaks do lace the blushing clouds. Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day, Stands tiptoe on the misty mountains top. The rising sun peeps over the hills, & with a hearty draught Of morning dew, salutes the welcome day. Aurora now puts on her crimson blush. And with resplendent rays gilds over the tops Of th' aspiring hills, the pearly dew Hangs on the rose bud tops, and knowing it, ●ust be anon, exhaled, for sorrow shrinks, And melts into a tear. The lark gins his flight, And singing startles the dull night From his watch tower in the skies, Till the dapled morn doth rise. The early la●k, With other winged choristers of the morn, Chant forth their anthems in harmonious airs. The morning strews roses and violets Upon the silver pavements of the heaven Against the coming of th' approaching sun. The morning had given the stars leave to take their rest. By that the next morning gins to make A gilded show of a good meaning. Ere that the morning shall new christian day. The morning draws dew from the fairest greene's Against th' approach of her burning lover, to wash her face withal. The morning winning the field of darkness. The night grown old, his black head waxen grey. The morning steals upon the night, Melting the darkness. The wolves have preyed, and the gentle day, Before the wheels of Phoebus round about, Dapples the drowsy east with spots of grey. Ghosts wandering here and there, Troop home to Churchyards damned spirits all, Unto their wormy beds repair. The eastern gates all fiery red, Opening on Neptune their dispersed beams, Turn into yellow gold, his salt-green streams. Sol fires the proud tops of the eastern pines. And darts his lightning through each guilty hole, Out from the fiery portal of the east. When ruddy Phoebus had with morning light Subdued the east and put the stars to flight, When Phoebus' harbinger had chased the night And tedious Phosphar brought the breaking light. When the ploughman near at hand, Whistles over the surrowed land, And the milk maid singeth blithe, And the mower whets his , And every shepherd tells his tale Under the hawthorn in the dale.

Night's moist shades the earth doth hid, And Cy●●hi● in her golden ch●●iot rides, Dark night rushed down, and hid the face of earth With her spread sable pinions— Heavens eye doth gild the seas In his days journey to th' Antipodes. When heaven that was a Cyclops late before, Becomes an Argus. Over the pole, night her thick mantle throws. The time the jetty charioteer Hurls her black mantle o'er our Hemisphere. Mother of sleeps and fears. That with her sable mantle friendly covers The sweet stolen sports of joyful meeting lovers.

When nights black muffler hoodeth up the skies. The sun doth leave us to our rest, And Cynthia hath her brother's place possessed. Now had the glorious sun ta'en up his Inn, And all the lamps of heaven englightned been. Virgins, now day is fled, Make poo●e their garments t'enrich their bed.

Repose and sleep; when every mortal breast, Whom care, or grief permitted took their rest, Now nights black mantle had the earth o'erspread, And all the ●●st of stars in P●aebus stead, Though with less light adorned the spangled sky. The night did ●rowning rise Into her throne, and from her humorous breasts, Visions and dreams lay sucking, all men's rests Fell like the mists of d●ath upon their eyes. Love's Mart of kisses. Venus' day. Soft rest of cares. Night lays her velvet hand upon day's face. The air with sparks of living fire is spangled, And night deep drenched in misty Acheron, Heaved up her head, and half the world upon, Breathed darkness forth. The sky appeared in sable mourning dress, The ebon night brought in a coach of jet, Drawn by her sable feathered steeds, ravens. When Morpheus ●e●geant of the night Had laid his mace upon the dying light. And with his listlesse limbs had closely spread, The sable curtains of his drowsy bed. Darkness had stained, The Crystal brow of day, and gloomy night Had spoiled and rifled heaven of all his light. Grim night looked forth with grizly countenance, Her smoky breath in dusky clouds doth fly ●rom her pale lips, and darkened heavens bright glance, prevailing o'er the earth and azure sky. When as the universal shade, Of th' unspangled heaven and earth had made An utter darkness. When as the heavens by the sun's team untrod, Hath took no print of the approaching light, And all the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright. Her body is confined Within a coal-black mantle through lined With sable surres, her tresses were of hue, Like Ebony, on which a pearly dew Hung like a spider's web, her face did shroud Aswarth complexion, underneath a cloud Of black curled cypress, on her head she wore A crown of burnished gold, b●shaded o'er Wi●h fogs and ro●y mists, her hand did bear A sceptre, and a sable Hemisphere. Death resembling shades of night Had drawn their misty curtains twixt the light, And every darkened eye. Sols horses now eat their Ambrosia Within the western meads, deposed day Surrenders up her throne, and yields her right Unto her Negro sister.— In the raging sea, The sun is drowned, and with him falls the day, When Cynthia whips her drowsy team. When the wings of night fans sleep on mortals. Now was ou● heavenly vault deprived of the light With suns departed, and now the darkness of the night Did light those beamy stars, which greater light did d●rk, Now each thing that enjoyed that fiery quickening spark, Which life is called, were moved their spirits to repose, And wanting use of eyes▪ their eyes began to close. A silence sweet each place with one consent embra●'● A music sweet to one in careful musing placed, And mother earth now clad in mourning weeds did breathe A dull desi●e to kiss the image of our death. Earth thing with her black mantle night doth sconce, Saving the glowworm, which would courteous be Of that small light: of watching shepherds see. The welkin had full niggardly enclosed In coffer of dim clouds his silver groats. When Phoebe doth behold Her silver visage in the watery glass, Decking with liquid pearl the bladed grass. Night that from eyes their busy function takes The ear more quick of apprehension makes, Wherein it doth impair the seeing sense But pays the hearing double recompense. Born by swift dragons in an Ebon coach. The creeping murmur, and the poring dark, Fills the wide vessel of the universe. The Churchyards yawn, and hell itself breathes out Contagion to this world, When the Diurnal Charirioter had set His fiery brasse-hoo●'d coursers to their meat, And o'er his golden glistering locks had spread The jetty hang of his sable bed. Lights sable Coffin buries up the day, The night close mourner for the dying light, Bedews her cheeks with tears, When the wearied Sun is gone to rest, And darkness made the world's unwelcome guest, The sable mantle of the silent night, Shut from the world the ever joysome light. Care fl●d away, and softest slumbers please To leave the Court for lowly Cottages: Now when the night her sable wings had spread, And sleep his dew on pensive mortals shed, When visions in their a●rie shapes appear. Wild boars forsake their denston woody hills, And sleightfull otters left the purling rills; Rooks to their nests in high woods now were fling, And with their spread wings shield their naked young, When thiefs from thickets to the cross way stir, And terror frights the lonely passenger. ●en nought was heard, but now and then the howl ●f some v●le Cur, or whooping of the owl. ●w the hungry lion roars, ●d the wolf beholds the Moon, whilst the heavy Ploughman snores, ● with weary task foredon, ● the wasted brands do glow. ●ile the screech owl screeching loud, ●s the wretch that lies in woe, ● remembrance of a .

A man declined to his Preterperfect tense, In the autumn of his mellow age, The glass accuseth to the face, Their want of beauty, Whom rotten teeth and wrinkled face, And head of snowy hairs disgrace, Cold age hath frosted his fair hairs, Whose hairs do wear the sober hue of grey, Envious time ●●th delved her parallels within her brow, ●orty winters have besieged the brow, And digged deep trenches up in beauty's field, When ●able curls are silvered o'er with white, Time hath spilt snow upon your hair, Whose hairs contend with snow, That wears snow on his shaking head. ●●e in his hair.

Living deaths head, more antic than ancient. Old age. Crooked age. Death's twilight. Death's slumber. The bloodless age, when times dull plough Doth print her furrows in the aged brow, When Ladies in their glass Look for their own, and find another face. The grey sum of years.

Omens. Such as were seen Before the Romans on th' Amathian plain, With their own Country's blood their swords distain, Sad presages, irregularities of natures, As ominous as was that voyage when When Caesar did ●ail from Greece to Italy In the small Bark. The ominous ●aven with a dismal cheer, Through his horse beak of following horror tells, Begetting strange imaginary fear, With heavy echoes like to passing bel●s, The howling dog a doleful part doth b●ar, As though they chimed his latest bu●ying knell, Under the Eves the buzzing screech owl sings, Beating his windows with her fatal wings, And still affrighted with his fearful dreams, W●th raging fiends and goblins that he meets, Of falling down from steep rocks into streams, Of tombs, of burials, and of winding sheets, The melting stars their sulphurous sum f●t shed, The Centre pants with sudden throes, And trembling earth a sad distemper shows The sun affrighted hides his golden he●d From hence by an unknown Eclipctic fl●d, Irregular heavens, abortive shades display, And night usurps the empty throne of day, The Meteors fright the fixed stars of heaven, The palefaced Moon looks bloody on the earth, And lean-looked Prophets whisper fearful change, As doth the raven o'er th' infectious house, The Skies hung with prodigious signs, As if the Scorpion would drop down Out of the Zodiac, or the fiercer Lion. The croaking ravens F●ag up and down beating the air With their obstreperous beaks, The yawning graves have yielded up their dead, Fierce, fiery warriors fight upon the clouds, In ranks and squadrons, and right form of war, Which drizzle blood upon the Temple's top. The noise of battle hurtled in the air, Horses do neigh and dying men do groan, And Ghosts do shrick and squeal about the streets, Lamen●ings heard ●'ch air, Strange skreams of death and prophesying, With accents terrible of dire combustion, And confused accents hatched to woeful time, Th' obscure bird clamoured the long lived night, Some say the earth was feaverous and did shake. Heart thrilling groans first heard, he round his bower, And then the screech owl with her utmost power, Laboured her loathed note, the forests bending with winds, as Hecate had been ascending, As if some devilish hag were come abroad With some kind mothers late delivered load, A ruthless, bloody sacrifice to make To those infernal powers that by the Lake O● m●ghte S●yx, and black Cocytus dwell: Swords in the spangled heavens did then by night, In th' East and West extend their blazing light, Ashes in showers upon the earth did fall, L●stre deserts the Sun in height of all, His towering pitch. The Moon did then look red, And ●e●rs of blood from her dark Chariot shed, Ha●d ●ocks did groan. Ar●'d troops of foot and horse Encounter in the air with horrid force. Prodigious events. Presaging signs. Portents of dire calamity and woe, Affrighting voices in the air were heard, The Sun himself in threatening forms appeared, Sometimes as if he wept, his glorious head, With a blue Rainbow round environed, Sometimes quite dimmed, as if he fled the sight Of men, and meant to make eternal night. The windy spirits through earth's torn caverns break, ●o●ds change their courses, beasts 'gainst nature speak, The air that night was filled with dismal groans, And people oft awaked with the howls, Of wolves and fatal dogs, ill boding owls, Night ja●s and ravens, with wide sttetched throats, From yews and holies send their baleful notes, The shrieches, wail, and all cries were heard Of every fatal and affrighting bird. Oracle. Where the cloven ground inspires, Oraculous truth. The gaping earth exhales Prophetic winds, Tripodes keepers of fate. A voice so shrill, As all the caves capacious throat might fill, The laurel falls from ●●thia's frighted hair, The god possessed With a full spirit her inspired breast, Her hair upright throws down, The sacred ornaments, and Phoebus' crown, Her neck turns wildly round, and down she throws All Tripodes she meets with as she goes, And with an inward fire she burns To crave the Oracles advise, To the undoubted Oracle resort. The Delphian Phoebus did possess In kill rage his wretched Prophetess, Making sad death the punishment and hire. Of the poor soul his fury did inspire. An hideous voice, Runs through the arched roof in words deceiving, A nightly trance or breathed spell, Inspires his pale ●y'd Priest from the Prophetic cell. V Mays Contivation of Lucan Lib.

The Priest proclaims a solemn feast, The Dames and Maids from usual labour rest, Wrapped in skins, their hair-laces unbound, And dangling tresses with wild lvy crowned, They leavy spears assume, High Rhodope with Timbrels rings, Vines shade their brows, the rough hide of a Dear, Shog at their sides, their shoulders bear a spear. Orpheus. The Thracian ha●per. The Thracian singer that once with his Lyre, Taught the deaf stones to hear him and admire, When Thracian Orpheus to●k His Lyre, and gen●lly on it struck, The learned stones came dancing all along, And kept time to his charming song, With artificial pace the warl●ck Pine, Th' Elm and his wife, th' lvy Twine With all the better trees, which erst had stood Unmoved, forsook their native wood, The Laurel to the Poet's hands did bow, Craving the honour of his brow, And every loving arm embraced and made With their officious leaves a shade. The beasts too strove his auditors to be, Forgetting their old tyranny. The fearful Hart next to the Lion came, And Wolf was shepherd to the Lamb, Nightingales harmless Sirens of the air, And Muses of the place were there, Who when their little w●nd-pipes they had found, Unnequal to so strange a sound, Overcome by grief and art they did expire, And fell upon the conquering Lyre, The god's interpreter who sung so well, As by his songs to bring his wife from hell; For while he sung and struck the quavering strings, The bloodless shadows wept, nor flattering springs Tempt Tantalus, Ixion's wheel stood still, Their Urn the Belides no longer fill, The vultures feed no●, Tityus left to groan, And S●syphus sat listening on his stone, The Furies vanquished by his verse were seen To weep, that never wept before, hell's Queen.

Which richly paid the pleased beholder thanks In its sweet situation. A valley graced with nature's art and care. As fertile as the soil of Arabia. As pleasant, as Thessalia Tempe fair, On which from heaven no blustering tempests fly, Nor Zephry blows but sweet and wholesome air. A long whose side the mossy mountains rise, And lift their swelling tops above the skies. Down through the mist of this fair valley glides The Crystal flood with glancing silver hue. Whose roaring streams on golden channels slide With murmur sweet in Thetis bosom blew, Of brooks supplied with liberal store besides, Which tops of towering mountains still renew. In midst of this fair valley doth arise A mighty mounting rock of wondrous height. On whose ambitious back, as in the skies, A City stands impregnable to sight. A castle on his lofty crest espies The valleys round about the mountains height, Below the rock the glancing river glides, In whose cold streams, he cools his hoary side. When T●tan doth ascend unto the south. Ascending through heaven's vault of brightest azure. Those lofty turret's seem to have desire To view their beauty's pride, while they h●ve leisure, Then set they all the rolling flood on fire, Whose trembling billows show their golden treasure, The smiling sun illustrates them with beams, While as their beauty, beautifies their streams. A place for pleasantness, not unfit to flatter solitar●●●sle, for it being s●t upon an insensible rising of the ground, as you are come to a pretty h●i●h●, before almost you perceive that you ascend, it gives the eye lordship over a large circuit. It seems a pleasant picture of nature, with lovely lightsomeness and artificial shadows. With such a rise as doth at once invite A pleasure, and a reverence from the sight. They who abstract paradise from the earthly globe, make ● that part of heaven, which is this places Canopy. As if nature there had meant to make a place where the beholders are beholde●, and sufficiently paid in their grateful prospect for the pains of their view. Where lands untilled are yearly fruitful seen, And th' unpruned vine perpetual green, S●ll olives by the fertile branch are borne, And mellow figs their native trees adorn, Honey from elms distil, the gentle fountains. Descend with purling noise from lofty mountains: There milky goats come freely to the pa●le, Nor do glad flocks with dugs distended fail, The mighty bore, ●oares not about the fields, Not hollow earth doth poisonous vipers yield. Add to this happiness the humid east Doth with no frequent showers the field infest, Nor the fat seeds are parched in barren land, The heavenly powers both ●empering with command, No bark comes hither with Argoan over, Nor landed wanton Colchis on this shore. Cadmus' with swelling ●ailes turned not this way, Nor painful troop that with Ulysses stray, Here amongst cattle no contagi●● are. Nor seel flocks drowthy power of any star. When bra●●e did on the golden age intrude, Jove for the pious did this place seclude. Where every object charms the wandering eye, And bids the soul gaze there eternally. The smoke by which the loaded spits do turn, For incense might on sacred altars burn. The n●ked rocks are not unfruitful there, But at some certain seasons every year, Their barren tops with luscious food abound, And with the eggs of various ●ouls are crowned, Ripe fruits and blossoms on the same trees live, At once they promise, what at once they give. So sweet the air, so moderate the clime, None sickly lives or dies before his time, Heaven sure, has kept this spot of earth uncurst, To show how all things were created first. V Hom. Odies.

In wose soft streams, swans wash their silver wings, Fanning the bosom of th' enamoured Nymph. Which both held the eyes open with her azure streams, And yet sought to close them with the purling noise, It made upon the pebbles it ran over, Making sweet music with the enamelled stones, And gives agentle kiss to every sedge, He overtaketh in his pilgrimage, And so by many winding nooks he strays W●th willing sport to the wild Ocean, To whose gentle falls Melodious birds sing solemn madrigals, Whose streams on purling pebbles murmur keep, Which may invite and summon gentle sleep; Where waves call waves, and glide along in ranks, And prattle to the water-edging banks, Her sad king's fishers tell their grieved tales, And fish enrich the brook with silver scales. The Nymph came from the veins Of our fi●st mother having taken pains, In scouting of her channel all the way, From where she first began to leave the sea.

A Crystal river on her bosom slid, And passing seemed, in sullen muttering chid. The aged flood came bravely from his cell, Down from his head hung dangling silver tresses, From every hair, a Crystal stream doth fall, And when he sweats, a roaring stream there passes. His wrinkled brow a pearly dew distilleth. His sea-green eyes with endless tears still filleth, The Nymphs with dancing round about him tripped, Against the sun their a zure mantle shone From wave to wave the wanton fairies skip, The sheals of fish here swim, there leap anon. ●●rke how she court● the banks, whilst they, As amorously their arms display, Pembrace and clip her silver waves, See how she strokes their sides, and craves An entrance there, which they deny, Whereat she frowns, threatening to fly Home to her stream, and 'gins to swim Backwards, but from the channels brim, Smiling returns into the creek, With thousand dimples in her cheek. Chiding the stones that stop his speedy course. With unusual pride, And dimpled cheeks rolls sleeping to the tide, Rides in his chariot. A thousand ways In wandering tr●cks the wanton river plays, And with his amorous folding arms doth seem Pembrace small ●●ands, whirst his silver stream, From several channels of itself doth meet, And oft itself with wanton kisses greet.

The waters with an amorous noise Leap up and down, and in an amorous dance, Kiss his dull cheeks that scorns their fond embraces, And darts them back, till they with terror scattered, Drop down again in tear●. That beetles o'er his brow into the sea. Whose high and bending head Looks fearfully on the confined deep. On which the sea oft throws his angry waves, And foams to see the stones neglect his braves. The vaulty rock Breaks the proud billows which her large sides knock. So have I seen a sea confronting clisse, Whose surly sides have felt the angry whiff Of the cold North, and with disdainful pride, ●y his own poisure firmly fortified, ●●stle the saucy winds and spurn away ●he crouching waves that underneath him lay, Till the revengeful sea now discontent, And weary of his craggy government, ●●gins to undermine him, and doth ride, Sometimes at tilt against his chalky side, Spitting her frothy venom which doth flaw ●●is tagged limbs and like a cancer gnaw His vaultie ribs until she work away. The rubbish that on his foundation lay, At last when angry fates his ruin call, And the rejoicing waves expect his fall, Clapping their envious hands, he storms to see Their malice feasted in his misery, He bows himself and with a stately frown, And a noise worthy of his bulk falls down, And with a dying valour shatters all H●s jeeting foes, that laughed to see him fall. Rose. The summer's breath their masked buds discloseth. On whose soft cheek a deep vermilion dwells, With such a purple light it shone, As if it had been made of fire, And spreading would have flamed anon, Which in their early pride, But half reveal, and half their beauties hid, Which opes her ruby bosom to the sun, And drops away, when he is from her gone. Venus' sacred flower, whose beauty is as short as sweet, The sading flower, which with the sun's uprise Her bud unfolds, and in the evening dies. Run v. Hast. Swift. Short breath from panting bosoms scorching flew, To throw the feet, With hasty steps they run. More swift than Mir●h or Daphne in her chase, The f●et scarce touch the ground. S. To sacrifice. Honouring the Deities with the large expense Of blood, free gifts and heaps of Frankincense. The blood Gush from the oxen in a purple flood, And on the altar spout their streams of gore, Who praying new born flames with incense fed, And bowls of wine on marble altars shed, They holy fumes present to all the gods, The entrails laid On burning altars, to the gods conveyed An acceptable smell, The sacred flames Sabean gums devour, And blaze on altars crowned about with flowers, Scaling the Welkin with their sacred fumes, The crooked horned rams now at the shrine, With their perfumes do cloud the sun, With thankful incense all the altars smoke, The altars do with joyful incense flame, To feast the altars with blood and odours, With prayer to mix perfumes, And sacred fires, with incense feeding pray. Congested incense burns, And cheerfully with horns gilded offerings pay Religious vows. On the altars pour the wine. Gird with tapers hol● shine. With fire he feeds the altars, richly feasts The gods with gifts, whole Hecatombs of beasts, Their horns with ribbons wreathed imbrue the ground, The axe doth beat the ox, his curled crown, With Wine being poured betwixt his horns falls down An hund●ed bulls with garlands crowned Are p●id to Jove, The sacrificed beasts the ground shall beat, And bright Religious fires the welkin hea●, Send grateful incense up in pious smoke We will choke The fires with weighty lumps ●f richer gums, ●d send perfumed clouds to the heavenly seats ●a continued thankfulness, ●●h smoky Hecatombs, and mealy showers, They pay their rites unto the sa●red powers.

To beat the foamy ocean with their oars, Riding in triumph on the bristled wave, They sat and plied Their polished oars, and did in curls divide Their white head waters. The foamy seas beneath their labour shook. Ransack the seas, The gently fanning blasts made dandling play Upon our sails.— Our oars we ply. Slice up the foam, sweep the blue waves on high, And with our nimble oars, We brush the flood, and glide off from the shores. The waves do shriek to feel Their slicing Oars, and at each cut they roar, Belching their angry foam upon the shore, Slicing their wavie way. To ●urrow up the briny sea, The keel gins t' obey Her gentlerudder, leaves her quiet key Divides the streams, and without wind or oar, She easily glides along the moving shore, Her swelling canvas gives her nimbler motion, Outstrips the tide, and hies her to the Ocean, Forth to the deep she lancheth and outbraves The prouder billows, rides upon the waves, She plies that course, her compass hath enjoined her, And soon hath left the lessened land behind her, That guide their winged wains On th' azure forehead of the liquid plains, Which when the proud bark feels, Scorns the salt waves should kiss her ●urrowing keel And tricked in all her flag, herself she braves, Capering for joy upon the silver waves, The frolic wind plays with the pregnant sail, And courts her linen sides. To sweep Neptune's smooth face, and cleaves the yielding deep The Sails conceive and grow big bellied with the wanton winds, To blow the bosom of the floods. Full Sails. Wing his successful course.

The winter-starved earth, By nature teeming labours towards her birth, Still as the day upon the dark world creeps, One blossom forth after another peeps, Till the small flower, whose root is now unbound, Gets from the frosty prison of the ground, Spreading the leaves unto the powerful noon.

Like the Sabaean airs, which as they fly, Perfume with sweets the morning Majesty. Like to the Phoenix nest, when she her wain Of age repairs, and sows herself again▪ Or when that balmy load she doth transfer Her cradle, and her parent's sepulchre, To Heliopolis, Apollo's Town, And on his flamy Altar lays it down. A place that breathed perfumes, Her words embalmed in so sweet a breath, That made them triumph both on time and death. Whose fragrant sweets. Since the Chameleon knew And tasted of, he to this humour grew, Left other elements held this so rare, That since he never feeds on aught but air. Oh how the flowers pressed with their treading on them, Strove to cast up their heads to look upon them, And jealously the buds that so had seen them Sent out their sweetest smells to come between them, As fearing the perfume lodged in their powers, If known, would make men quite neglect the flowers, The nard breathes never so, nor so the rose, when the namoured spring by kissing blows Soft blushes on her cheeks, nor th' early east Vying with Paradise ●'th Phoenix nest As it, the nard expires.

Whose odour fills the ambient air, Like spice of smokes raised from sweet gums With aromatic powders fraught, By merchants from Sabea▪ brought, That yield A savour like unto the field, When the bedabbled Morn Washeth the ears of corn, Fetch all the spices that Arabia yields, Distil the choicest flowers of the fields, And when in one their best perfections meet, Bring them to this, that so they may seem sweet. Sweet sounding The soft spring Chides not the pebbles that disturb her course With sweeter murmur, harmonious chime She forced, when she touched her lyre. The waves to leap above their cliffs, dull earth, Dance round about the centre, and creates new birth In every element, and outcharms the fears, Oh I could turn Chameleon, and live on this sweet air. A tongue made up of harmony, The hearers soul out at his ears enticing, Charming the soul even to an ecstasy, Striking a wonder in their ears, It wrought an envy in the spheres, Unexpressive notes▪ Whilst every strain Calls the soul into the ears▪ Taking all ears captive▪ Which with a greedy listening fain Would turn into the sound it hears, Contending nightingales struck mute, Drop down and die upon the lute, Such time and measures Mercury did keep, Then when he plyaed all Argus eyes asleep. The ravished air such pleasure loath to lose, With thousand echoes still prolongs each heavenly close. Such breathes the dying swans give, as they ride Upon Cayster, or Pergusa's glide. Such music Orpheus made in hell, When he wooed Pluto for Eurydice, And S●syphus sa●e listening on his stone. Harmonious as the breath Of dying swans, prophetic in their death, Should but swans hear this well divided breath, They listen would, and sweetly welcome death, The ravished nightingales striving too high To reach it would in emulation die. Whilst the amazed ear, ●ands ravished such harmonious breath to hear. So sung the Thracian poe●, when his songs ●asts, trees and stones attracts in following throngs, Her voice the woods and rocks to passion moves, Tames savage beasts, the troubled rivers smooths, Detains their hasty course, and when she sings, The birds neglect the labours of their wings. Even so the dying swan with low raised breath, Sings her own exequy before her death. So Canens did bewail Her late enchanted Picus. The dying swan adorned with silver wings, So in the sedges of Meander sings. So sung the Sirens, when Ulysses fast ●as bound with knotty halters to the mast. Gave accents in the sweetest strain, That ever opened an enamoured vein, Whose sadder tones enforc'● the rocks to weep, Enriched all neighbour ears. Wooing the rivers from the springs to hear him. Such Music as 'tis said, Before was never made, But wh●n of old the sons of morning sung, While the Creator great, His Constellations set. And the well balanced world on hinges hung, And cast the dark foundations deppe, And bid the weltering waves their oozy channel keep. Able to make the rocks to dance, And surly beasts that through the deserts prance, H●gh from their gloomy dens. A song whose cadence doth enthral. All sense it reacheth. In strains so rare, T●at all the ●litting pinionists of the air, Attentive sat, and in their kinds did long To hear some notes from his well timed song▪ Had wise Ul●sses who regardless fling Along, the Ocean when the Sirens sung, B●t heard her song, he would to her fair eyes, Offered his vessel as a sacrifice. Or had the Sirens on the neighbour shore, Herd in what raping notes she did deplore Her buried glory, they had left their shelves, And to come near her, would have drowned themselves. And none that heard him wished his song an ending. Such music did Arion make, When as he rid upon the Dolphin's back. The prating Echoes long For repetition of so sweet a song, All listening stood, At those sweet airs which did entrance the flood. And had the Thracian played but half so well, His wife had ne●e returned back to hell, Sounds, which by their delicious melody Might ●ull, not Argus, but even Mercury, Choicest accents be Harsh echoes of that heavenly harmony. Should such an holy song Enwrap our fancy long; Time would run back, and fetch the age of gold. Nature that heard such sound, Beneath the hollow round Of Cynthia's ●eat, the airy region thrilling, Now was all most won, To think her part was done. And that her reign had here its last fulfilling; She knew such harmony alone, Can hold all heaven and earth in happier union. T●' attentive rock, The rigour doth of its creation mock, And gently melts away; Argu● to hear The music, turns each eye into an ear. Sounds which the Panther a●, And sets the wildness of his nature law: A voice able to entrance the Panther, and command Incensed winds. Like sounds that breath upon a bank of violets. The shades admiring stand, And sacred silence to themselves command, Whilst the heaped multirude with greedy ●are, Throng. As if music from the spheres Did with their golden raptures swell our ears. Can charm the spheres, and rocks the heavens asleep▪ Every sense makes haste to be all ears, And give attention to those pleasing airs, To which the Gods may listen as to prayers Of pious votaries, the which to hear, tumults would be attentive and would swear, To make no noise. ● willingly would bear death's harshest doom, To have her sing an anthem on my ●ombe. A song, Which can inspire the dull, and cheer the sad, And to the dead can lively motion add, Charming the crystal floods. Had echo with so sweet a grace, Narcissus loud complaints returned, Not for reflection of his face, But of his voice, the boy had mourned. A music so divine did pierce his ear, As never yet the ravished sense did hear. Like the sea nymphs in veigling harmony, May sing a lullaby unto the spheres. Me thinks my ravished ear, ●●pt with the secret music that I hear, A●●ends the warbles of an angels tongue, resounding forth a sense-bereaving song. Where the ear baths in pleasing harmony. With such excess, Of grace and music to the ear, As what it sung, it planted there, stroking the air, Which stills the winds and makes the wild Incensed bore and Panther mild. Which floods have stopped their course to hear, To which the spotted Lynx have lent an ear▪ As strikes a wonder in all ears, And works an envy in the spheres, Making the soul climb up into the ear. Whose melody have made the spheres to lay Their heavenly lutes aside only to listen To their more charming notes. See how to hear thy sweet harmonious sounds About thy cradle here are thronging round, Woods, but with ears, floods, but their fury stopping; Tigers, but tame, mountains, but always hopping. Sph●ar-borne, harmonious sister's voice and verse, Wed their divine sounds, and mixed power employ, Dead things with imbreathed sense able to pierce, Such harmony make the seraphic quires, With their immortal harps of golden wi●es. The melting voice through mazes running, Untwisteth all the chains that tie The hidden soul of harmony, That Orpheus soul my heave his head, From golden slumber on a bed Of heaped Elysian flowers, and hear Such strains, as would have won the ear Of Pluto to have quite set free, His half regaind Eurydice. See how the heavens rapt with so sweet a tongue, To list to thine, leave their own dance and song. To hear her warble, Would move the rocks, and ravish marble. Like softest music to attending ears, Whose least breath brings from the spheres their music, charging each ear with insensibleness that did not lend ●t self unto them. Making the soul plant itself in the eat. Magic sound, Which destroys without a wound. If Orph●us voice had force to breathe such music's love Through pores of senseless trees, as it could make them move If stones good measure danced, the Theban walls to build, To cadence of the tunes, which Amphion's lyre did yield▪ Moore cause for a like effect, at least wise b●ingeth, O stones, O trees, learn hearing Stella singeth. Soul invading voice, The very essence of their tunes when angels do rejoice, Sweet as those dulcet sounds in break of day, That creep into the dreaming bridegrooms ears, And summon him to marriage. Sweet in taste. The purest honey sweet That the Muse's birds do bring. To mount Hybla every spring, No thing near so pleasant is. As sweet and good As the most costly and delicious food, Which if but tasted doth at once impart, Both life and gladness to the cheered heart. Like the sweet gums that from electar trees Distil, or honey of the labouring bees, Like morning dew, that in a pleasant shower, Drop pearls into the bosom of a flower. To which compared honey is as gall, Sweet as the Indian cane, as Hybla's trees, Or roses balmy breath, which oft delight. The palates of the active bees. Some star fled from the sphere, is melted there. Th●t mock Madera's sugar, and the Apricock. Passing in pleasant taste the drink, That now in Candia deck Cerinthus brink. Nepenthe. Ambrosia. Nectar. Drops of balm. Mummy. Elixir. Swift. As swiftly whitling as the whisking wind. As swift as shafts fly from a parthian bow. Swift as the sweeping stream, the winged arrow. Swift as the winged thought. W●●h nimble speed, scorning to touch the ground. Swi●ter than an Hungarian ague, or english sweat. The swifter courser did out swim the wind, As lightning which one scarce dare say he saw: With as much speed as Daphne fled, or Phoebus did pursue, Swifter than forced ai●e. As the drumming pulse. Swift as the breathed stag. So swift that in mine eye, Lightning seemed flow, and might be taught to fly. So Pluto driven when in his gloomy coach He hurried Proserpina. So fly the arrows from the twanging strings, With no less speed, than if supplied by wings. He vanished from our eyes, As swiftly as a well driven javel in flies, Or as a singing pellet from the sling. As haw●a the fearful dove, or huntor swift, Pursues the hare through Haemon snowy drift. Swift as the rolling fire. As the quick mo●ion of dislodged souls. Swift as an arrow from a Cretan string. As swift as Scythian shafts. Both from the barriers start, Whose nimble steps scarce touch earth's upper part. Their feet unwet the sea might well have borne, Or unsuppressed stalks of standing corn. Hippomanes and Atalanta ran with such a quickness, His noiselesse wings by night, fly Morp●eus strains, And with the swiftness of a thought attains, etc. Fear wings her feet, and love enfor●'● his pace. Swift as the cha●ed cloud, or flying wind. As swift as grayhounds laid in with the hare. With pace as speedy as the wind. Their pace was flee●, And thick they gathered up their nimble feet. Their sails so wrought, They cut a feather, and command a thought. Swift as Camilla, who with nimble feet, The tops of the unpressed corn could greet; And on the swelling waves so go that they Sunk no●, when she on them her weight did lay. Quick as the eastern wind, Sweeps through a meadow, or the nimble hind, Or Satire on the lawns, or skipping roe, Or well winged shaft sent from a Parthian bow, Like gallant▪ stags, that as they scorned the ground, Run from the shrill cries of the full-mouthed hound, Nor swifter comes the messenger of heaven, Nor winged vessel with a full sail driven, Nor Myr●ha's course, nor Daphne's speedy flight, Shunning the dalliance of the God of light, etc. Swift as the foals conceived by the winds. Swift as the fleeting air, Fleet as the swift-winged moments, hours, minutes. As if she had leapt into the chariot of the wind. Swift as the flight of lightning through the air. Swifter than whelpe-robed tigers, or the flight Of lightning o'er Apulia, where the field, Unploughed, no corn, but sluggish grass doth yield, Swifter than lightning, or the southern wind Through Lybia's yielding ai●e. Swift as the Autololes whose winged speed, In running far outstrips the swiftest steed; Equal the winds themselves, and as they pass, Scarce bend the standing corn, or sl●nder grass. Outstrip the wind, And leave the breathed hart behind. More swift than motions self. To this compared, slow Fly stones from slings, and not so swift as she, From Parthian bows, the winged arrows flee. Swifter than winds, whose tardy plumes, Are reeking waters, and dull earthly foams. As Biscan darts, or shafts from Russian bow, Swallowing the way. As the arrow from the Tartars bow. Like arrows that outrun the hunting eye. That on a winged whirl wind ride. As the swift son of Euriale, Who in his course was said to be so fleet, To run o'er rivers, and ne'er drench his feet. Or on the land through well grown meadows pass, Yet with his weight not once to bend the grass. Swim. Place with the native stream the fish do keep. To move the body's oars.

Tusked swine, That foe unto the corn and vine. The bristle-bearing beast. The beast that first taught mortals how To rip the earth with shared plough, That with such pleasure can desire To wallow in the dirt and mire. The nasty cattle which the Jew With so much hatred did pursue, The beast which lovely Venus hates, Remembering her Adonis fate, And Bacchus from them doth decline, As the destroyers of his vine. Sword. A Milan hilt. Damascus blade. Toledo. As good a sword, as ever rid on Gentleman's thigh. Imprisoned weapon. Morglay. Excalibur. Durindana: Swoon.

The rude sea grows civil at their song, And ravished stars shoot madly from their spheres To hear their music. Great The●is train, That on the shores do plain, And trammell up their sea-green hair.

That pathless seas might testify their care, The easy Gods consented to their prayer. Straight golden feathers on their backs appear, But least that music framed t' ●nchant the ear, And so great gifts of speech, should be profaned, Their virgin looks, and humane voice remained. Ne'er man in sable bark sailed by, That gave not ear to their sweet melody, ●ut the sly Greek, They to the Temple went among the rest, There where Aenarian waves that Isle invest, Their faces with an oily fucus spread, Their lips so rosy, not with their own red, Their necks and breasts shone with adulterate white, ●●re to the waist, the better to invite, With painted eyes and tresses of false hair, Which jointly bear off lust, the badge and snare, Whom when Minerva from her shrine had spied, She hide her eyes, and turned her head aside, If I a goddess, nor in virtue fail, ●●ight of force or modesty prevail, They shall not said she herein glory long, ●ly grief shall arm me to revenge this wrong, New scarce departed from her Temple door, When scarce their feet had pressed the beachy shore.

O stempered waters, Jove drives his flock of clouds, The stormy tyranny of winds, The Ship is made the scorn of sea and winds. Winds quick, winds up the waves, the billows rise. Dark clouds ●oll up, and take day from our eyes. With our laborious oa●s we ply, Slice up the foam, and sweep blue waves on high, The bow backed waves toss us up to the sky. A storm whose blackness frights the sea, Horror in triumph rides upon the waves, And all the furies from their gloomy caves, Hovered upon our ship, Where howling trenches of self-drowning waves, And stormy gusts throw up untimely graves, Where billows with white foam show angry minds, For not outroaring all the high raised winds, The Dolphins that presage a coming storm, Swimming on the waves, to teach us, none should dare, Excepting fishes then to venture there. When the distracted Ocean Swells to sedition, and obeys no law. The storms speak loud, And the astonished day doth turn to night. The seas are raised so high, That waves do hang like tears in the sun's eye, That we, as in vast cataracts they fall, Think that he weeps at nature's funeral. Such was the tempest in which Caeser sailed, In a small bark from Greece to Italy. Proud billows rise, and war against the skies. The waves in crooked furrows flow, As if that Aeolus and Neptune strove For the seas empery. The threatening Ocean spends his swelling spite, The tenth wave rears the ship. The Porpoise dance upon the swelling wave, Whilst every billow is her sister's grave, The angry tumults of the sea and skies. Aeolus lets lose his uncontrolled breath, Whose language threatens nothing under death▪ The rudder fails, the ships at random driven, The eye no object owns, but sea and heaven. The heavens begin to roar, As they would split the massy globe in sunder, From those that live above, to those live under. The winds above, the water underneath, Join in rebellion, and conspire death; Each one becomes an Orator for life. Their hands are busy, while their heart's despair. The waves With unresisted tyranny outbraves, And threats to grapple with the darkened skies, Whilst like to moving mountains they arise, From their distempered Ocean and assail Heavens batlements. High tides do flow, Whose brackish waves do lash the broken shore▪ Seas smooth back rolled before with gentle breath, In brissels set, now spits her foamy wrath.

The troubled waves in mighty mountains rise, Threatening to spit their brine drops in their eyes, The sea her billows musters proudly up, ●nd shoots them at the sun, ●● if all elements, and all their power, Were turned into one vowed destruction. The ship with main mast boreas the moon, The troubled billows chase with the shores. The scolding winds ●ive up the knotty oaks. Th'ambitious Ocean swells, rageth and foams To be exalted with the threatening clouds. The chiding billow seems to pelt the clouds. The wind shaked surge, with high and monstrous main, Seems to cast water on the burning bear, And quench the guard of th'ever fixed pole. ●● never did like molestation view On the incensed flood. Wind's blow, as if they meant to waken death. The labouring bark climbs up vast hills of se as Olympus' high, and ducks again as low, As hell's from heaven. A water combat on the sea, between Two toaring, angry, boiling billows, how They march and meet, and dash their curled brows, Swelling like graves, as if they did intent Tentombe each other, ere the quarrel end. Ulysses ships found not the seas more rough, Nor the unhappy navy that from Troy, Once with Aeneas sailed. The sea is not more troubled than their breast.

She trembles like a lamb snatched from the fangs Of some fell wolf, that dreads her former pangs, Or as a dove, who on her feathers bears Her bloods fresh streams, and late felt talons fears. So trembled Philomele in Tereus' arms, When she perceived her now approaching harms, Like shaking corn, which waveth with the wind. And like a misshaped letter I do stand, Which hath been written with a trembling hand, As the sea trembles, when light winds do blow, O● waving asps. Triton. Whose shrill shell-trumpet seas and shores do hear, His snorting sea-horse doth bestride, Thrusting his shell spurs in his brawny side. The scaly herald of the sea. Whose shells loud blast Blue floods affright, his figure to his waist Presents a man, the rest a fish, before His monstrous breast, the foaming furges roar. Neptune's blue brother. Triumph. The laurel crownes their brows, they Io sing, And to the captiol their trophies bring. In ivory chariot rides The glorious wardrobe of the victor's show. High palaces are now with garlands dight, And smoking incense, turns the day to night, Now the white victim by the axe are slain, And with their purple blood the pavements slain; The captive kings more to increase the show, Before the plumed horse do chained go. The subjects by loud shouts their love do show, Whilst all the way with sweetest flowers they strew, The Victor's Temple crowned with verdant bays, The soldiers singing Io to his praise, While in his ivory chariot drawn he goes Into the temple. v.

The tragical Alarm. A trumpeter is a man whose profession is not so worthy, as to occasion insolence, and yet no man so puffed up. His face is as brazen as his tumpet. He is somewhat in the nature of a hogshead, shrillest when he is empty. No man proves life more to be a blast, or himself a bubble, and he is like a counterfeit bankrupt, thrives best when he is blown up. Truth. Time's eldest daughter. Time's wont offspring. Upon her head she wears a crown of stars, Through which her orient hair waves to her waist, By which believing mortals hold her fast. And in those golden cords are carried even, Till with her breath she blows them up to heaven. She wears a robe enchased with eagle's eyes, To signify her sight in mysteries. Upon each shoulder sits a milk white dove, And at her feet do witty serpents move. Her spacious arms do reach from east to west, And you may see her heart shine through her breast. Her right hand holds a sun with burning rays, Her left a curious bunch of golden keys. With which heavens gates she opens and displays. A crystal mirror hangeth at her breast, By wh●ch men's consciences are searched and dressed. In her coach wheel Hypocrisy lies racked, And squinteyed slander with vain glory backed, Her bright eyes burn to dust, in which shines fate, An Angel Ushers her triumphant gate. Whilst with her fingers, fans of stars she twists, And with them beats back error clad in mists. Eternal unity behind her shines, That fire, and water, earth and air combines, Her voice is like a trumpet, loud and shrill, Which bids all sounds in heaven and earth be still. Turn.

Whilst heavens great law, given for their guide appears Just and unjust, but as it waits on theirs. serving up the pins of power too high. Not cutting but ravelling out men's lives. He seldom sleeps sound, having blood for his bolster. His fancy presents him with strange masks, Wherein only fiends and furies are actors. The fright awakes him, and he is no sooner glad that it was a dream, but fears it is prophetical. Having lived in other men's blood, he commonly dies in his own. As if he had a quarrel at all mankind, killing all he comes near. Who what they cannot gain By fairer language Tarquin like constrain. That can what soe'er he wills, wills what he can, To whom it is enough to be guilty, to have power to be guilty. Wanton cruelty, knowing no Horizon. Punishing not so much for hate, or anger, as because he felt not the smart of punishment. Pleasing themselves in making others wrack, the effect of their power. Whose liking was his justice. Sporting themselves in pains, and making others prayers the argument of their victories. Disdaining to obey any thing but his passion, which he calls his mind. Observing no formality but what passion suggests. To whom the eloquence of hatred, hath given revenge the face of delight. Able to teach Tiberius' craft, and Nero cruelty. His will is his God, and power his law. A man that can be as ill as he lists, And loves to be as ill as he can, and as much as any advancement can be got by it. The red eyes of strained authority. That with their humour only can comply. He keeps a constant kennel of blood hounds, To accuse whom he pleaseth, which will depose more than men an suppose. He leaves nothing to his poor subjects they can call their own but their miseries. Dancing pleasantly at the doleful Dirty of dying groans Like Devils in flesh, antedate hell in inventing torments.

Sparkle with lustre from his arms, As if in love with danger, That life can sobetly despise. Undaunted spirits that encounter those, Sad dangers, we to fancy scarce propose, That deride Pale death, and meet with triumph in a tomb, Who to pale fear, Whispering danger never lent an ear. That sells his life dear to his foes, Whom dangers do encourage and invite A spirit scorning justest fears. As if incapable of fears, Who, when a foot, is mounted upon an high spirit, Flying nothing more than the mention of flying, The sweetness of life cannot so flatter the palate of the soul, as make him swallow the bitterness of an eternal disgrace. As the Indian for his gem doth sound the stood, He dives for honour in a sea of blood, Glazing his valour in a crimson flood, A spirit that hath outgrown his years, Trampling depressing fears, Under his valiant feet, sets bravely on The Front of danger, 'Twixt whom an fear there's an antipathy. A spirit that durst war against the fates. That dare set his naked breast Against the thunder. Giving a Majesty to adversity.

Men of such prowess, as not to know fear in themselves, a● yet to teach it others that had to deal with them. A courage apt to climb over any danger. Observing few compliments in matters of arms, but such as pro● anger did indite to him. Giving as many wounds as blows, as many deaths as wound That can face the murdering Canon, When it blows ranks into the air like chaff, A courage that knows not how to fear. As full of spirit as the Month of May. A spirit of greater confidence, Than can admittance give to thoughts of fear. Will fight until his thighs with dares Be almost like a sharp quilled porcupine, Every gash he receives is a grave for him that made it, That being angry doth forget He ever heard the nime of death. An unaffrighted mind. Didaining fortune with his brandished steel, Which smoked with bloody execution, Like Valour's minion carved out his passage. Bellona's Bridegroom, ushrinking spirit, So daring that he would Go on upon the gods, kiss lightning, wrist The engine from the Cyclops and give fire At face of a full cloud. Looks like Apollo, raised to the world's view, The minute after he the Python slew. An heart that scorneth danger, With a brain Beating for honour▪ Like Eagles, his undazzeled eyes Affront the beams, that from the steel arise. That looks on his enemies with a kind of noble heaviness, no insultation. A spirit that to sullen fear, Whispering death ne'er lent a gentle ear, Like to the Roman Scevola dothstand, Bathing in flames his Salamander hand, And with a sober scorn doth laugh to see The worst incensed fates can do. Amazing death, to see with dying pride, In her pale chariot him in triumph ride, That wear their lives at their swotds' point, Whose courage outbrave all fear, If he do not live to enjoy the honour he purchaseth with his blood he leaves the world his Executor, and to it bequeathes the rich inheritance of his memory. Ready to disburse his life upon a good occasion. Adventuring upon such designs, as have no more probability, Than is enough to keep them from being impossible. That ne'er saw fear, but in the face of the enemy, Hands of steel, and hearts of diamond. His valour like the Fairy Arthur's shield, Which but disclosed awaked the weaker eyes Of proudest foes, and won the doubtful field, A Godlike courage, which no soft delight Can weaken, nor the face of death affright. A courage used to victory as an inheritance, Having the Thracian God tied to their swords, More than his body was to Vulcan's chain. A wise well tempered valour. Those giants, death and danger, Are but his ministers, and serve a master, More to be feared than they, and the blind Goddess Is led amongst the captives in his triumphs. Veins.

Supported so, the number did oppress The dying people, and dead carcases Increased the slaughter falling heavily. On living bodies. Where stand the groves of spears. Three sisters speedy hands cannot suffice, For breaking threads, hath tired the destmies. When now the horse came prancing nigh, The ground did shake, and clouds of dust did fly, As great as Thracian whirlewin is blow about, o'er the skies covered face, and darkness wrought. Shrill cornets than began the air to wound, Th' alarms beat, and all the trumpets sound, The noise and shout of souldlers pierce the sl●●e. Poor soldiers stand with fear of death dead struck. All hands are bathed in blood. And with a purple stream the thirsty soil Oreflowed, where all besmeared in blood there lies, A throng of carcases, wose liveless eyes Are closed with dust, and death. In a well ordered body stood Erected pikes, like a young leavelesse wood. Where drums and trumpets give such fearful sounds, As they would shake the clouds unto the ground. Each body seemed but as a sheath For his next neighbour's sword. Where an ounce of honour, costs a pound of blood. Where dead and wounded, pave the bloody field, Strewed with the slaughtered carcases. Where brandished ensigns seem to brave the day. Where in one shrick another shriek is drowned, And blood for blood incessantly doth call, From the wide mouth of many a gaping wound, Where drums and trumpets do awake the day, Muffled in mists. Where the blunted sword, Doth rather break than wound, Cloying the greedy jaws of death. The conquered field sown round with carcases. There they fell, And made their clashing armour ring their knell. The crimson paths of war paved all with corpse, The bloody harvest where whole threaves of men, The reaping sword scythes down. Where men are drowned in showers of darts Shafty, armed clouds. Steele-glistering spears the very fields affright, And all the camp seems fired with armour bright. Where towers, Prostrate themselves before the iron showers. Where is spent Many a cold December, with no tent, But such as earth and heaven makes. The rugged paths which those men tread, Which with a barbarous pride reckon the dead, And thence their glories number. Where runs the scarlet flood, Dogged war bristles his angry crest, And snarleth in the gentle eyes of peace, Thousands like sacrifices in their trim, Unto the fire-eyed maid of smoky war, All hot and bleeding do they offer up. And mailed Mars doth on his altar sit, Up to the ears in blood. The naked infants spitted on the pikes. The wounded steeds Fret fetlock deep in gore, and with wild rage, Yerk out their armed heels at their dead masters, Killing them twice, and tread a quagmire made Of mangled brains. No blow is dealt, that leaves not death behind it: Where friends depart, and never bid farewell. Where dying mouths do gasp forth purple breath. Blades imbrued In rivers sprung from hearts. Now horse to horse, and man is joined to man, So strictly, that the soldiers scarcely can Their adversaries from their fellows know. The grassy pavements stood, All moated over with a crimson flood: War that blood sucking cormorant, From battered casks with every envious blow, The scattered plumes fly loosely here and there, Which in the air doth seem as drifts of snow, Which every light breath on his wings doth bear. The child of malice, and revengeful hate, That impious good, and good impiety. Warm their cold swords in blood of enemies. So thick their blows, No wound one sword unto the other owes. War, whose angry feet shake towns and towers asunder. An iron cloud, heavens angry face doth hid. There stood A mount of bodies in a moat of blood. The dikes over filled with slaughter, while the blood Of men and horses make one purple flood, As if in nature they had been the same, And from the wounds of slaughtered Centaurs came. Each one plies deaths fatal task, the swords sad work. Pikes, bills and darts, seemed as they stirred or stood. A moving forest, or a standing wood. Drowning their swords in blood. Striking so thick, as if that every blow would fain have been foremost. Making the earth to groan under their furious burdens▪ The horses angry in their master's anger, with love and obedience, brought forth the effects of hate and resistance and with winds of servitude, did, as if they affected glor, The earth wont to bury the dead, is now itself buried with deabodies. In one place lay disinherited heads, dispossessed of their natural seignories, there lay arms, whose fingers yet moved, as if they would feel for him that made them feel, and legs, which contrary to common reason, were made heavier by being discharged of their burdens. Many first overthrown had the comfort to see their murderers over run them to Charon's ferry. Where terror was decked so bravely, that the eye, With delight had scarce leisure to be afraid. Where each sword makes spacious room before it, Like a wanton rich man, that throws down his neighbour's house, to make himself the better prospect. The horses with open nostrils breath war, ere they can see an enemy, and now up with one leg, then with another, seeming to complain of nature that she had made them any thing earthy. Their swords like cannons, battering down the walls of their armour, making breaches almost in every place, for troops of wounds to enter. The bloody armour seemed to blush, it had defended its master no better. Making many windows in their armour for death to come in at. Bleeding in such measure, as if they meant to lend Charon a flood, to ferry over their departing souls. The cannons spit their iron salutation▪ With bullets wrapped in fire, They make a shaking in the walls. The sleeping stones By the compulsion of the ordinance Are raised from their fixed beds of lime. Now death lines his dead chaps with steel, The swords of souldiets are his fangs. The summer dust is laid with showers of blood. Tearing the cloudy cheeks of heaven, With roaring bellows from the iron mouth Of loud voiced cannons. V Dubartas The vocation.

So wept Deucalion, when he saw the state, And face of nature deadly desolate. With tears which might have made another flood, Bathing her cheeks in tears. To shed From drowned eyes vain offerings to the dead. So wept th' Heliades, When they bewailed their brother, so their trees, Yet amber weep.

Have you beheld an April shower Send down her hasty bubbles, and then stops Then storms afresh? through whose transparent drops, The unobscured lamp of heaven conveys, The brighter glory of his sparkling rays, Even so upon her blushing cheeks resided A mixed aspect 'twixt smiles and tears divided. Welcome. v. Glad▪ Moore welcome than was light, To the disordered chaos. Welcome as are the ends unto my wishes. Nay far more welcome than the happy soil, To sea scourged Merchants after all their toil. King's meet Queens. So Cleopatra met Mark Antony. So soft streams meet, so springs with gladder smiles Meet after long divorcement made by Isles, When love the child of likeness urgeth on Their crystal waters to an union. Welcome as quiet rest To one by pain and want of sleep oppressed. Health to the sick, drink to the thirsty soul. Is not more welcome. As is the journey's end To weary travellers.

Flora ravished with the sight, In emulation made all lilies white, All other whites but shadowings to this. Whiter than morning milk. White as the flower, That Juno's milk did spring the silver lily, Whiter than Leda's swan, or bleached snow, Whiter than was the fair swans downy feather, When Jove and Leda lay in bed together, Like new fallen snow upon untrodden mountain, As white as is the nectar▪ stained way The restless sun by travelling doth wear, Passing his course to finish up the year. Whiter far, Than Towers of polished ivory are. So white it is. Snow is an Ae●hiope, if compared to this, Not the fairest Leda's swan, Nor the sleekest marble can, Be so smooth and white for show, As her lilies, as her snow, More white than snow Which on cold winter's face doth grow. More white than Neptune's foamy face, When struggling rocks he would embrace, There Leda's swans her feathers mews, White as the spotless Ermine. As unsumed snow, As that congealed snow. The cast wind hangs on Taurus' brow, White as the Aethiops tooth, as the fanned snow▪ That's bolted by the Northern winds twice o'er, In whose comparison all whites are ink, To write their own reproach.

The snowy dotage of the year, When downy snow did make the fields look old. Jove his cold Javelin throws Upon the earth, and whites it all with snows, When floods embrace the snows fair tender flakes, As their own brood. When hardly feed the flocks, And Isickles hang dangling on the rocks, When Hiems binds the floods in silver chains, And hoary frost hath candied all the plains, When every barn rings with the threshing flails, And shepherds boys for cold do blow their nails, Which with many a storm. Beat the proud Pines that Ida's tops adorn, And makes the sap leave succourless the shoot, Shrinking to comfort the decaying root, Divorced leaves then carpet all the ground, Winter doth the earth array In suits of silver grey, when night and day Are in dissension, night locks up the ground, Which by the help of day is oft unbound, The winter comes and makes each flower Shrink from the pillow where it grows. And the intruding cold hath power To scorn the perfumes of the rose, When seas are fettered in cold chains of ice. Wrinkles the beauty of the fields, When we have pigmy days, Hiems locks up the rivers with her icy key, Phoebus' lamp to our horizon low The shortest days, and coldest doth bestow, From Capricorn cold winter glazed the floods, And pur●'d with frosts the fields and naked woods, Every thing hath now His courser nature on winter's rough brow, And Boreas blast with envious haste, rends every tree, Disleaves each twig and bough, When trees put off their leavy hats In reverence to old Winter's silver hair, When every hoary headed twig Wears his snowy periwig, When every bough Wears on his head a cap of snow. When watery Pisces cools fair Phoebus' side, The frost Candy's the grass, and casts an icy cream Upon the silver lake and Crystal stream, Heaven's archer arrows every where bestows, Headed with ice, feathered with sleet and snow, Winter hath scaled the crannies up with frost, And crusted all the grounds.

Thrice seven summers I had seen, Decked in Flora's rich array, And as many winter's keen, Wrapped in suits of silver grey. Thrice through the Zodiac had Hyperion pranced, And the fourth time his burning team advanced. When Sol again had brought his team about, The sun hath three times parched crab and goat, Twelve times the sun Through his twelve signs had run. Now he to fifeteen added had a year. When summers five he thrice had multiplied. By this the sun, Conducting time had through, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. Autumn's run Now through twelve signs, the sun had brought his light. Now Titan thrice had finished his years. In watery Pisces. While slowly shding months make up the date Of thirty years. Now thrice four heavens have rolled about The circle of the year. Until Sol thrice the globe hath circled round. The quickening sun Had twice six times about the Zodiac run▪ Twice had the glorious sun run through the signs, And with his kindly heat improved the mines. Thrice had Phoebus been, In horned Aries, taking up his Inn. Now when the year had turned his course about, And fully worn his weary hours out; And left his circling travel to his heir, That now sets onset to th' ensuing year. Now seventimes Phoebus, had his welked wain, Upon the top of all the Tropic set, As many times descending down again, His fiery wheels had with the fishes wet. Three winters cold, Have from the forests shaked the summer's pride: Three beauteous springs to yellow Autumn turned, Three April perfumes in three hot Junes burned. Three summers now have past, Thrice hath the painted pride of flora graced. Earth's joyful bosom, thrice hath winter's rain, Bereaved her of that verdant dress again: The posting sun Five times, through his celestial Inns must run: Cold Capricorn had paved earth's surface, twice, With brittle places of crystal crusted ice. Twice glazed rivers, and the sappy blood, Of trees hath twice re-periwiged the woods. saturns flow team hath trotted twice the round, The sun hath gone his yearly progress twice. Full thirty times hath Phoebus' Car gone round Neptune's salt wash, and Tellus orbed ground; And thirty dozen moons with borrowed shine, About the world have twelve times thirty been, The rising Pleiades have four Autumns seen. Twice hath the golden sun, Through the cold pisces his round journey run. ●re Phoebus thrice twelve times shall fill her horns▪ When years first styled me twenty. V Spring. Summer. Autumn. Winter. Young man. To whom nature did late begin, To uneffeminate his smother chin▪ Now in his looks both boy and man appear: An old boy, an infant man. The doubtful down now budding on his chin. His chin began to bud with down of gold. His blooming youth twice told eight birth days crown, And clothe his cheek with scarce appearing down. So young, Scarce any down darkening their cheeks was sprung. The blossom of his youth so fully blown, That strength of nature now thought good to seek, Her entertainment in his downy cheek. And with her manly beauty did begin, To uneffeminate his sleeker chin, Whose Phoenix down began but to appear, Like unshorn velvet. Whose bare outbraved the web it seemed to bear. Fresh beauty triumphs on the brow. His height made him more than a boy, His look would not allow him man. The mossy down still growing on his chin. Whose face as yet did not bewray his sex, With so much as a show of hair. His face now beginning to have some tokens of a beard, was composed to a kind of manly beauty. Not old enough for a man, not young enough for a boy, a squash before 'tis a peascod. A stripling, not much in debt to years, Upon whose chin, are not so many hairs, But a tapster's arithmetic may soon bring his particulars therein to a total. The swift post of time hath now begun His second stage. Reason now draws her curtains, her closed eyes Gins to open, and she calls to rise. Youths now disclosing bud peeps out, and shows Her April head, And from her grass green bed, Her virgin primrose early blows, Whilst waking Philomela gins to sing Her warbling sonnets to the wanton spring. His stage is pleasant, and the way seems short, All strewed with flowers, The days appear but hours, Being spent in time-beguiling sport, Her griefs do neither press, nor doubts perplex, Here's neither fear to curb, nor care to vex. His downy cheek grows proud, and now disdains The tutors' hand, He glories to command The proud necked steed with prouder reins. The strong breathed horn must now salute his ear With the glad downfall of the falling dear. His quick-nosed army with their deepmouthed sounds Must now prepare To chase the timorous hare, About his yet unmorgaged grounds, The evil he hates is counsel and delay, And fears no mischief but a rainy day. The thought he takes, is how to take no thought, For bale nor bliss; And late repentance is, The last dear pennyworth that he bought, He is a dainty morning, and he may, If lust o'ercast him not, b'as fair a day. He is now out of nature's protection though not yet able to guide himself. Just of age to be miserable, when in his own conceit he gins to be happy. His reason serves not to curb, but to understand his appetite, and prosecute the motions of it with a more eager earnestness. Himself is his own temptation. He leaves repentance for grey hairs, and performs it in being covetous. He conceives his youth as the season of his lust, and the hour wherein he ought to be bad, and because he would not lose his time, he spends it. He distasteth religion as a sad thing, and is six ears elder for a thought of heaven. He scorns, and fears, and yet hopes for old age, but dares not imagine it with wrinkles. He doth seldom any thing, which he wisheth not to do again, and is only wise after misfortunes. He suffers much for his folly, and a great deal of knowledge makes him a wise man. Every action is his danger, and every man his ambush. He is a ship without pilot, or trackling, and only good fortune can steer him. Youth. Blooming years. April of our years.

Should any power into my brain infuse, Thy worth, or all the Poets had before; I could not praise, till thou deserv'st no more. But I employ, My pen in vain to overtake his fame, All praiseful tongues do wait upon that name. Whose worth so far transcends all praise, Who writes him well, may well deserve the bays. But striving her to grace, I injure her, For ever where true worth for praise doth call, He rightly nothing gives, that gives not all. Oh what virtues be Inherent, even to the least thought of thee! To live blest, is to trace his ways. Epitome of all that books, Or ere tradition taught. I aspire Enough to worth, whilst I his worth admire. A name most dear to virtue. Perfections great exchequer. Learning's exchequer▪ Nature at her own work doth wondering stand. I speak not this in hope t' encroach on fame, Or add a greater lustre to his name, Bright in itself enough. Servant to justice and strict honesty. Whose powerful name, Merits above the donatives of fame. A name, That he who without reverence speaks the same, Commits a sin that all his tears and prayers, Can never expiate. Circumference, And fixed centre of all excellence. All others virtues is his paraphrase. He is— but time denies to tell thee what, Sum all perfections up, and he is that. For whom nature did herself engage, To do more than in man could scarce be done. I should commend Particulars, but then how should I end, Without a volume? So noble all, That envy groweth weary of her gall. Whose acts and name Become the wonder and discourse of fame. Each verdant laurel, every myrtle bough, Are stripped for wreaths t' adorn and load his brow, Triumphant wreaths, which cause they never fade, Wise elder times for kings and Poets made. A sun, the beams of whose meridian glory, Fills eyes with wonder, and all tongues with story. He had all the graceful parts that might attract love, Or conduce to the accomplishment of a perfect soul. Had Plutarch lived till now, to blazon forth His life (as sure he would) what prince of worth, Or Greek, or Roman, had his single story, Selected out to parallel his glory. The Hemisphere of whose praise knows no Horizon. Had the blind Greek, one of the Muses first Priests, been conof so subto Apollo temporary to this Hero, how proud would he have been lime a subject to heighten his fancy; a subject adequate himself, and his whole choir of daughters. Yourself being extant, well may show How far a modern quill doth come too short, Speaking of worth. Fame that hath undertaken your name to blaze, Plays but the envious huswife of your praise. Alone in him was nature prodigal. Of so divine, and rich a temper wrought, As heaven for him perfections depth had sought. The best whilst thou art here, Compared with thee, like men scarce made appear▪ That curious form made of an earth refined, At whose blessed birth the gentle planets shined With fair aspects, and sent a glorious flame, To animate so beautiful a frame. The darling of the Gods and men. All that dare believe report, admire. Bright honours great example. Seems not a man but virtue's name. Though all might boldly, none could justly blame him. In whom consists all that The heavens have raised to a perfection. Parts beyond the degree of admiration. One that whosoever will praise well, Must first set down with himself, what it is to be excellent, for so she is. All that beheld him (and all that might behold him, did behold him) made their eyes quick messengers to their minds, to tell them they had seen, the uttermost could be seen. Of whom all expected as much as human nature could bring forth, and his virtue will not let their expectation be deceived. The senate-house of the planets were never so set to decree perfection in man. Of whose high praise, and praiseful bliss, Goodness the pen, heaven the paper is, The ink immortal fame doth lend. If ever virtue took a body to show its else unconceivable beauty it was in— N. M. Where truth itself must speak like flattery. It is a praise, to praise, when thou art praised, Not thou by praise, but praise by thee is raised. Where nature doth with infinite agree. Only in you the flatterer never ●●eth, Whose desert outstrip all praise, & make it halt behind it. When tongues speak sweetly, than they speak her name. No title good enough to keep his name company. A mind, envy cannot but call fair. Whose name's the theme of honour's tongue. All report of him, that is not fair, gives itself the lie, and pulls rebuke from every ear that hears it. Mortal Angel, Wants nothing of an Angel but eternity. That paragons description and wild fame, Who in the authority of merit, puts on the vouch of malice itself. Of whom to speak as he deserves I am unable, and in what I can, I am unworthy. All other perfections are so far from matching his, they deserve not to be mentioned, the great distance makes them appear like a little point, scarce to be seen, and less to be respected. So virtuous and spotless, that malice is angry, she can find no cause to be angry with him. His life was a letter, written full of religion and learning, whereof his death was the seal. Her virtues stifle my pen, they crowd in so fast upon it. His praises are as painful for himself to hear, as pleasant for others to relate. His virtues are too great to be spoken, and yet too great to be concealed. Fame's fingers are too foul to touch his virtues. His virtues raise A work to trouble fame, astonish praise. The element so mixed in him, That nature might stand up and tell the world, There was a man, whose fame is like the air. Invulnerable, and all calumny against him but malicious mockery. Where every God did seem to set their seal, To give the world assurance of a man. Sing, speak, and write the praise of other men, At him kneel down and wonder. A virtue that can give envy bounds. On whose every part, Truth might spend all her voice, same all her art, Whose graces do as far out▪ strip all fame, As fame doth silence. Old men were glad their fates till now did last, And infants, that the fates had made such haste, In such a welcome time to bring them forth, That they might be a witness to such worth. What others call virtue is the natural habitude of this princess. An angel dressed in flesh and blood. Such, as if a man were to choose out of all men, he could not pick another. Incarnate Cherubin. To be disliked by him, i● enough to be miserable, All whose inclinations do aim at goodness, And virtue to him is so natural, as I verily believe, he would be much troubled to do ill. It were hard to find a man for whom he could be changed without loss. In a place at Athens, when one named Plutarch, the echo answered Philosophy, the same would have been done with his name and virtue. Whose virtue is a transcendent, far above the abilities and carriage of our age, a match for antiquity, in its greatest purity and severity. In which name I call Up so much truth, as could I here pursue, Would make the fables of good women true. The wiser world doth greater thee confess, Than all the world, than thyself only less. Far beyond the pen, Or the weak knowledge of admiring men. Oh what a tax and impost hast thou laid, Of worth upon thy followers, how much praised, Must be that virtue, that can keep them free From th' exprobration of thy memory? Thou hast undone So much our fancy, and invention, It cannot gave thee aught, he that of thee Shall write out half seems to write poetry. It is a strong line here, to speak but true, Hyperboles in others are thy due. We Admire all virtues in admiring thee. With such goodness blest, As may merit praises best. Such goodness as admits no hopes of imitation, and by that only privileged from envy, and emulation. As if both heaven and earth should undertake To extract the best from all mankind to make One perfect man. He doth excel, In honours, courtesies, and all the parts, Court can call hers, or man would call his arts. He's prudent, valiant, just, and temperate, In him all action is beheld in state. And he is built, like some Imperial room, For these to dwell in, and be still at home, His breast is a brave palace, a broad street, Where all heroic ample thoughts do meet, Where nature such a large survey hath ta'en, As other souls to his, dwell in a lane. Beneath her feet pale envy bites her chain, And snaky discord whets her sting in vain. He that adventures of your worth to sing, Attempts in vain to paint a boundless thing. The highest pitch of perfect nature. Whom none can equal, best, but imitate. I know what ere my verses be, They will like the most servile flattery show. Though I writ truth, and make the subject you. Want of invention here, is no excuse, The matter we shall find and not produce. And as it fares in crowds I only doubt, So much will pass, that nothing will get out; Who undertakes this subject to commend, Shall find nothing so hard, as how to end. What Muse can silent be, Or little say, that hath for subject thee. I fear to act, A sin like their black envy, that detract, As oft, as I would character in speech, That worth, which silent wonder scarce can reach. Nor dare I, unless impudence in verse, Would cease to be a sin, and what were crime In prose, would be no injury in rhyme. Praises on thee, Short of thy worth, a kinder libel be. To write is easy, but to write on thee; Truth will be thought to forfeit modesty. Language richest dress, And highest sense, cannot thy worth express. To crown thy merits I shall only be Sumtuously poor, low in Hyperbole. None can speak of him without praise. Nor praise without admiration. Whom most men's hearts adore, and all admire, Worthy the envy of angels were they capable of passions. Oh had I Virgil's verse, or Tully's tongue, Or raping numbers, like the Thracians song. I have a theme, would make the rocks to dance, And surly beasts that through the deserts prance, High from their caves, and every gloomy den, To wonder at the excellence of men. A man of unexampled goodness. On purpose made by fate, That all might have one for to imitate. Not borne, but sent from heaven. Who writes of thee, Must volumes make, and write an history. Of whom men speak, when they his actions tell, Not as of man, but some great miracle. Should the stars come from heaven they could not thenc▪ Be here received with greater reverence. Whose name when it salutes the ear, M●n think they then, perfections abstract hear. V Famous. Admirable. Unspeakable. Forms of Dispraising. The baseness of whose mind is such, that it sinks a thousand degrees lower than the basest body could carry the most base fortune. An unnecessary letter in the alphabet of creatures. The cipher in Nature's Arithmetic, and the accounts of all good men. To make him more culpable than he is, were but to cast ink on an Aethiops face. Oh for a name Were bad enough, but all exp●ession's lame. A man of that stupendious composition, He seems made up of the worst of all extremities. Whose ill is grown to such a height, It makes the earth groan to support his weight. The quintessence and abstract of all evil, Clothed in flesh to play the closer Devil. Incarnate Devil. Devil in hose and doublet. Whose shame even hoarse with age black fame shall ring. And after times with horror shall distract, And by recounting of so vile an act, Mortality so much astonishing, Make them account their wickedness, scarce sin To that, which long before their time hath been. That know no God more mighty than their mischief. Of the most wicked disposition, that ever infected the air with his breath. S●ts fires on barns, and hay-stacks in the night, And bids the owners quench them with their tears. That d●g up dead men from their quiet graves, And set them upright at their dear friends doors, Even when their sorrows almost were forgot. Not clean enough to spit on. A man that is the abstract of all faults, That all men follow. The imposthume of all corruptions. Who all things on the earth amends, By being worse than they. A disposition would turn charity itself into hate. That pursue Deeds, After which no mischief can be new. Who is no less Than the perfection of all wickedness. The Stygian Quintessence. The Devils Enchiridion. In one the monster of all wicked men. None speak his name, but spit after it, for fear of being poisoned. The type of baseness, To whom vice is so proper, that it seems to grudge any man the practice of it, but himself. To whom murders are but resolute acts, and treasons, matters of great consequence. The Devil's factor for all wickedness. An honest man can neither see him, nor speak of him without a blush. v. Wicked Foole. Voluptuous. Forms of protesting. By all the oaths sacred religion knows. By all oaths made in reverential fear Of heaven, and her inhabitants. By yourself, that is by all that's good. By Styxes muddy peaceless spring, the fear, And only sacred oath the Gods do know. By all the floods infernal here I swear An oath, whose breach the very Gods forbear, Pronounce me guilty of a blacker crime, Than ere in the large volume writ by time, The sad historian reads of. By those chaste lamps that yield a silent light, On the cold urns of virgins. By that night, Which guilty of no crime doth only hear The vows of recluse Nuns, and Anchorites prayer, And by thy chaster self. Now by my father's ashes do I swear, Of whom a reverend memory I bear. By the sad ashes of my sleeping father. By dreadful Styx, by which the Gods Near swear and break their vow. By my best comforts. By the honour of my father's hearse. By the black brook of hell. As there comes lights from heaven, & words from breath. As there is sense in truth, and truth in virtue. By Cupid's strongest bow. By the best arrow with the golden head. By the simplicity of Venus' Doves, By that which knitteth souls and prospers loves, And by that fire, that burned the Carthage Queen, When the false Trojan under sail was seen. By all the vows that ever men have broke, By all the Gods that ever men invoke. By all the virgin roses of the spring. By maid-hood, honour, truth, and every thing. By innocence I swear, and by my youth. By all that's sacred, and can make an oath. By all that's sworn by, divine, and humane. Now by these burning tapers of the sky. Now by the sacred radiance of the sun. By all the operations of the heaven. Now by yond marble heaven. In the due reverence of a sacred vow. I do engage my words. So help me every spirit sanctified. By earth and sea, and Stygian Gods I swear. V Gods. Heaven. Sun. Moon. Stars. Forms of Conjuring, or Beseeching. I conjure thee by all the charms that love can teach▪ By all the rites of love I thee conjure. By those fair eyes that have enthralled mine, And by that all-alluring face of thine. So may thy growing fruit survive the frost, Nor ripening by the rapeful winds be lost. By that happy woman that bore thee, by all the joys of thy heart, and success of thy desires. By what more dear, a better proposer could charge you with all. By your fair beauty, for if Persians may Swear by their sun, I well may swear by that. By all that's virtuous. By all that you hold dear. By the sad ashes of your sleeping father. By the loved memory of all your ancestors. By the honour of thy father's hearse. I desire you by all that's sacred. Forms of giving Thanks. No word Breathes through my lips, that doth not thanks afford. I could afford To melt myself in thanks. A benefit I have received from you, never to be forgotten, but with ungratefulness. Which whensoever I remember, without due thanks, I shall forget all gratitude. I must repay you, with the uncurrent coin of thanks, out of the exchequer of the poor. You have anticipated all that I intended to say, and have not left for me in all rhetoric, either compliments, or commendations to return you. This is to enforce ingratitude by excess of obligation, and to reduce me to a necessity of being indebted to you after I am dead. Gratefulness is the poor man's virtue, and seeing I cannot be liberal, I will endeavour at least not to be unmindful. If there be a vice opposite to ungratefullnesse in the excess of gratitude, your many favours would drive me into it. Requital were presumption, and you may Call me ungrateful, when I strive to pay. All thanks are so due, that the greatest scarce can excuse from ingratitude. Your favours, and benefits to me are so much above my merit, that they are even above my▪ gratitude, if that were to be judged by words that must express it. The swiftest wing of recompense is slow to overtake your favours. My life wants worth to repay your favours. This dicourtesie alone your favours have done me, that I shall be forced to live and die ungrateful. You could not be unhappy, could either my wishes, prayers or power make you fortunate. When my pen-feathered Muse hath learned to soar, And gotten wings as well as feet, look then For equal thanks from my unwearied pen. I cannot think of your courtesies, without sighing at the sense of innability to repay, and blushing that I must needs (how thankful so●'● I am) at least appear ingrateful. I should be ready upon all occasions to give you thanks, did not the Consideration of the greatness of my Debt make me desperate. Sir, there is nothing you possess you may use more freely than myself, so much hath your courtesit purchased me yours, There is none hath a more ample interest in my love, Nor any have a lodging nigher to my heart. My uttermost ambition and endeavour is to climb to those deserts may give me the name of your thankful servant. No creature bears life, Which more faithfully studies to do you service. I am so far beneath the riches of your merits, it can be no honour to your name to rank me in the number of your servants. The least words you speak I receive with as much reverence, as an absolute and unresistable commandment. You have given so great testimonies of your love to me, that i● I should not have a due resentment of them, It were fit I lost my memory. I cannot forget your favours without forfeiting my right to a memory. You have so absolutely acquired me yours, as you have left me no liberty to do what I desire, when there is any question of performing your pleasure. There's nothing that my sense can reach, That doth not some way me my duty teach, Eevery object, me thinks, upbraids my ingratitude. H●d I as many tongues, etc. V Many unspeakable. My gratitude to you is as necessary as my being, and I can sooner cease to be, than to be unthankful. If you expect thanks worthy your favours. I beseech you afford me the terms I may repeat after you for your satisfaction. For I confess my incapacity to express the resentment your obligations cause in me. V Forms of concluding Letters. Forms of blessing or wishing well. All the dear joys here, and above hereafter, Crown thy fair soul. May sick men, if they have your wish be well. And heaven hate those you curse. Prosperity be your page. Success crown all your actions. Good fortune by your lackey, and wait upon you. The best wishes your thoughts can forge be your servants, and attend you. May each day better others happiness. May each sun shine with a new blessing on you. Until the heavens envying earth's good hap, Give you immortal honour, So live on earth, that heaven may thee desire, Yet slowly to the expecting stars aspire. May you carve out your fortune to your wish. Safety and honour always attend you. May heaven empty her storehouse of blessings upon you. V Happy. Forms of cursing or wishing ill. Mischief and sorrow go along with you. Heart's discontent and sour affliction Be playfellows to keep you company. May poison be their drink. Gall, worse than gall, the dainties that they taste, Their sweetest shade a grove of Cypress trees, Their chiefest prospects murdering Basilsks, Their softest touch as smart as lizards stings, Their Music frightful as the adders ●isse, And boding shriech owls make the consort full, All the foul terrors in dark seated hell, All curses madded Hecuba gave the Greeks, And mine to boot dart on thee. The gods send thee not death, the common plague, but feeling after death, May thy curse equal thy merits, and the Devil's malice be glutted in thy misery. May heaven create a new puinshment in hell for thee alone, as conceiving all the degrees there already heaped together, too little for thy wickedness. The ravenous Vulture tear his breast, The rolling stone disturb his rest, Let him next feel Ixion's wheel, And add one fable more To lying Poets store. May he be whatsoever rage and malice wish. V Miserable. Unhappy Forms of blessing times and days. That blessed night, that mild aspected hour, Shall consecrated evermore remain, What gentle Planet in that hour remain, It shall be happy in the birth of men, Which was chief Lord of the Ascendent then, With whiter wool be clad the day, It shall be marked with the whitest stone. The sun shall shine upon that happy day, And ever crown it with a glorious ray. This happy day Shall be to after times their Epocha. And wh●n reckon up the sum of bliss. They shall wish all their days to be like this. And may there on that day for ever be, A Rubric set to all eternity. The golden number light upon that day Not any moments are More sainted in Fame's happy Calendare, Nor shall that happy day for ever lack Its worth in fames eternal Almanac, Which none shall read, but strait their loss deplore, And blame the fates they were not born before To see this day. Time's last annals eternize that day. Forms of cursing days and times. O let that day be guilty of all sin, That is to come, or heretofore hath been, From his unnumbered hours let time divide it, Lest in his minutes he should hap to find it. Or let him on his brows for ever wear it, That when he comes all other days may fear it, And the illboding Planets by consent, That day hold ever their sad Parliament, Be it in heavens decree enroled thus, Black, fatal, dismal, inauspicious. O let that day be ever banished far, And quite expunged from times great Calendar, Succeeding years as they their circuit go, Leap o'er this day, as the sad time of woe, May the unwearied sun for ever shroud This day his face within some dismal cloud, And when the Morn shall bring its dawning light, May it be strangled in eternal night, When this day yearly comes let every one, Throw in their urn their sad and blackest stone, Let never bird that cuts the air with wing, Except the owl be this day heard to sing. Let clouds and darkness dwell upon that day, Unblessed for ever by Sols cheering ray, Let all men curse it, let it ne'er appear, Amongst those days that consummate the year, Let mirth and joy be banished from that day, May it its course and cursed succession lack, Nor have a name in any Almanac. Let that day be bound In clouds of pitch, nor walk th' Aethaerean round. Let not God writ it in the roll of days, Nor let the sun restore it with his rays, May plagues and famine, and the worst of fate Light on that day, may universal hate Make it by all detested. may all unhappy stars Conjoin their most malignant influence, And then extract the subtle quintessence, And throw it on this day. Let the eclipsed Moon her throne resign, Instead of stars let blazing Meteors shine, Let deaths dark shade involve, no light appear, But dreadful lightnings, it's own horror fear, Be it the first of miseries to all, Or last of life defamed for funeral, O▪ be that dismal night for ever blind, Lost in itself, nor to the day rejoined, Nor numbered in the swift circumference Of months and years, but vanish in offence, O let it sad and solitary prove, No sprightly music hear nor songs of love, Let wand'ring Apparitions then affright The trembling Bride, and quench the nuptial light. Forms of breaking off. But as in cutting up a man that's dead, The body will not last out to have read On every part, and therefore men direct Their speech to parts that are of most effect, So But like a winter's day. I must make amends for my unpleasantness in my shortness, therefore etc. Day would expire E'er all were told, and would your patience tyre, Should I from their original, Our sufferings tell, should you give ear to all The annals of our toils, approaching night, First in Olympus would enclose the light, But should I all intent to show, The days swift course would sink before below. But day would end, And Phoebus' panting steeds to seas descend, Before my scant Oration could pursue All etc. But I must free your weary patience. But I'm afraid my tedious discourse Should give your ears a surfeit and enforce, A loathing on your willing patience. But it would be a crime beyond excuse, If I your patience longer should abuse. Forms of bringing Similitudes. Have you beheld. So have I seen. Have you not seen. So we oft see. As I have seen. So I have oft observed. So oft hath my observing eye descried, Not much unlike. Holding resemblance with. Forms of invocating Muses. Twice sacred powers (if sacred powers there be, Whose mild aspect engyrland poesy) Ye happy sisters of the learned spring, Whose heavenly notes the woods are ravishing, Brave Thespian Ladies, at whose charming lays Each moss thrumbed mountain bends, each current plays Pierian singers, O ye blessed Muses, Who as a gem too dear the world refuses, Whose truest lovers never clip with age, O be propitious in my pilgrimage, Dwell on my lines until the last sand fall, Run hand in hand with my weak Pastoral, 'Cause every coupling cadence flow in blisses, And fill the world with envy of such kisses, Make all the rarest beauties of our clime, That deign a sweet look on my younger time, To linger on each lines enticing graces, As on their lover's lips, and chaste embraces.
