A POEM on the King and Queen of FAIRY.  

UPon a time the Fairy Elves,  
Having first arrayed themselves,  
Thought it Meet to Cloath their King  
In Robes most fit for reveling.   

He had a Cob-web Shirt more thin;  
Then ever Spider since could Spin,  
Bleach'd in the Whiteness of the Snow  
When the Northern Winds do blow.   

In that waste and open Air,  
No Shirt half so fine or Fair.  
A Rich Wast-coat they did bring  
Made of the Trout-flie's Golden Wing.   

died Crimson in a Maidens blushy,  
And lined with humming Bees soft Plush,  
At which his Elveship 'gan to Fret,  
And Swore 'twould cast him in a Sweat.   

He for his coolness needs would wear,  
A Wast-coat made of Downy-Hair,  
When taken from an Eunuchs Chin.  
It pleased him well, 'twas wondrous thin.   

His Hat was all of Ladies Love,  
So passing Light that it would move,  
If any Gnat or Humming fly  
But beat the Air in passing by.   

About it went a wreathe of Pearl  
dropped from the Eyes of some poor Girl,  
pinched because she had forgot  
To leave clean Water in the Pot.   

His Breaches and his Cassock were  
Made of the tinsel Garsummer,  
Down its Seam there went a Lace,  
Drawn by an avaricious Snail's slow place.   

On the QUEEN.  

NO sooner was their King attyr'd  
As never Prince had been,  
But, as in duty was required,  
They next Array their Queen.   

Of shining thread shut from the Sun  
And Twisted into line,  
On the light Wheel of Fortune Spun,  
Was made her Smock so fine.   

Her Gown was very Coloured fair,  
The Rain-Bow gave the dip;  
Perfumed by an Amber Air  
breathed from a Virgins Lip.   

The Stuff was of a Morning down  
When Phaebus did but peep,  
But by a Poets Pencil drawn  
In Chloris lap a Sleep.   

Her veil was White and pale faced by  
Invented by a Maid.  
When she( poor Soul) by some bad Spy  
Had newly been betrayed.   

Her Neck-Lace was of subtle tie  
Of Glorious Atoms set.  
In the pure Black of Beautys Eye  
As they had been in Jet.   

Her Shoes were all of Maiden Heads  
So passing Thin and Light.  
That all her care was how to Trade,  
A thought had burst them quiter.   

The Revels ended she put off,  
Because her Grace was Warm,

MOnticolae quondam Lamiae circumdatae amictu  
Corpora praetenui choreis& lusibus apto;  
Talibus ind suum Regem quoque vestibus ornant  
Quae deceant numerosque leves Festasque choreas.   

Ejus araneoli scutulata subucula Filo  
Rarior, eximiae quod texuit artis Arachne:  
Intactaeque nivis fuit insolata nitore,  
Quam rigidus gelidâ Boreas diffundit ab Arcto.   

Nec sub Hyperboreo tam pura cam●sia tractu  
Usque adeò tenuis tamque alba apparuit usquam  
Proxima cura fuit tunicellam imponere Regi  
Hepiali textam mire ex aurantibus alis.   

Virginis eximiae roseo quae tincta rubore;  
Atque apis Hybleae duplicata est vellere molli:  
Tum fremere& jurare Heros gestamine tanto  
Pressus,& exili manare a Corpore sudor.   

Post, refrigerij causa, subtle theristrum  
Curari fecit consutum more d●coro,  
Nuper ab eunuchi malâ& lanugine sumptum:  
Hoc placuit, quia erat tenui Subtemine textum.   

Ejus erat( capitis tegumentum ensign) galerus  
Ut Referunt, è Femineo conflatus amore;  
Qui levis usque adeo fuit ut sine fine moveret  
Aera si Cynips vel praetereundo feriret.   

Ambijt hunc circum speciosa& Gemmea spirae  
Ex oculis tenerae tremulis modo lapsa pvellae,  
Quam malè multarunt Lemures quod linquere in oll●  
Oblita est puras, nocturno tempore lymphas.   

Denique fiebant saga cum Femoralibus ejus  
Lineolâ è tenui per summa cacumina campi  
Extensâ, quorum suturam rara tegebat  
Jnstita ducta pigri limacis tramite pingui.    

In Reginam.  

POstquam Rex tali fuit Insignitus amictu  
Membra cvi Regum nulla tulere parem  
Mox etiam, quoddle ratio poscebat& aequum  
Reginae parili corpora vest tegunt.   

Illius ex Auro clarâ de lumine solis  
Emisso scite facta erat interula.  
Stamina cujus erant solerti policy ducta,  
Sortis in amb●guae torta levique rotâ.   

Palla fuit qualem spectabilis induit Iris,  
Quam varijs radijs pingit Apollo suis.  
Talis odour qualis fragranti spirat ab ambra,  
Halitus aut qualis Virginis esse solet.   

Materies fuit Aurorae de lumine primo  
Phoebus ubi Eois surgit Honorus aquis.  
Peniculo vatis qui pingebatur amatae  
Chloridis in Gremio membra quiet levans.   

Candidulumque habuit velamen, pallidulumque  
dextra Puellaris texuit illud opus,  
Qui colour idem erat ac pellucet in ore Puella  
Prodita ab infausto quae modo fort Viro.   

Illjus orba decens ornabat colla monile  
Formosam pulchris conspicuisque Atomis,  
Quae velut in puro nigroque nagagate suissent  
Imposita miris emicuere modis.   

Calceo lique sui perquam tenuesque levesque  
Facti de claustris Virginitatis erant.  
His Igitur verita est incedere, namque pusillas  
Sensus amoris eos rumperet absque mora.   

Ludis ex●ctis, quoniam sudore madebat  
Confestim vestes exuit ipse suas.
