A90256	Ovid's Invective or curse against Ibis, faithfully and familiarly translated into English verse. And the histories therein contained, being in number two hundred and fifty (at the least) briefly explained, one by one; with natural, moral, poetical, political, mathematical, and some few theological applications. Whereunto is prefixed a double index: one of the proper names herein mentioned; another of the common heads from thence deduced. Both pleasant and profitable for each sort, sex and age, and very useful for grammar schools. / By John Jones M.A. teacher of a private school in the city of Hereford.; Ibis.

Not one did my book hurt but me alone When th' Artist by his Art was overthrown One man and that one thing is mighty wrong Cannot endure my Title should live long Who e're he be his name I le spare my Muse 10. He hath compell'd strange weapons now to use He doth me grudge exil'd to Northern cold My banishment in quietness to hold My half-cur'd wounds he cruelly doth pierce And openly my small offence reherse 15. He stops her that 's my own by Nuptials From wailing her poor husbands Funerals He that should first the sudden flames allay From mid'st the fire this Robber seeks a prey Of my torn ship few pieces could I save 20. Yet he the plank whereon I stand would have He works my banish'd age may want supply Oh! he 's more worthy of this misery Gods were more kind of which he 's far the chief That lets me not though banish'd want relief 25. Therefore deserved thanks to him I le give For so great favour where and whil'st I live Pontus shall hear this and perhaps I may Vow by a neerer place to him one day But thou that kick'st me being down ' gainst thee 30. Unto my power a mortal foe I le be Between the fire and water shall be love The Sun and Moon shall both in one Sphere move One coast shall East and West-winds too send forth The Luke-warm South shall blow from freezing North New love shall to the brothers flame return Which old wrath sever'd while their corps did burn E●eocles son of Oedipus king of Thebes by his own mother Jocasta contracted with his brother Polynices that each should yearly reign by course the first year ended Polynices being denied his turn made war wherein both were slain and the flame of their bodies being burned together parted Wrath once kindled among neighbours is hardly reconciled but among brothers scarcely extinguished by death it self chiefly when a kingdom lies at stake Tanta est discordia fratrum ● yet the brood of incestuous parents are more bloody then any other Spring shall be Autumn and the Summer shall Be Winter Rising of the Sun the Fall E're I le disarm me or renew old league 40. Which thou by thy offences do'st reneague E're this my wrath shall vanish or my hate While time and houres do last one jot abate Such peace between us while I breathe I le keep That is between the ravenous wolves and sheep 45. First I le by verse encounter though these feet For penning martial things are not so meet A Champion first on yellow sand makes bright His spear before he lists into the fight So sharpened weapons yet I will not use 50. Nor shall my spear thy hateful body bruise My book shall not thy name or deeds reveal And who thou art I will as yet conceal But cease else shall my keen Iambick dart Shafts dipp'd in blood of false Lycambes heart Lycambes not performing his promise to marry his daughter Niobole to Archilochus the Poet so bitterly inveyed against the father and daughter in Iambick verses that they both hanged themselves Criticks derive fides from fio because whatsoever is faithfully promised by word should be fully performed in deed B. Hall Med. Some promise what they cannot do as Satan to Christ Some what they could but mean not to do as the sons of Jacob to the Shechemites Some what they meant for the time but after retreat as Laban to Jacob and Lycambes to Archilochus so great distrust is there in man either by impotency or unfaithfulness But let wilful promise-breakers take heed lest they break their own necks Dabit Deus his quoque funem 55. Now as Callimachus did curse his foe Ibis so curse both thee and thine I doe In stories dark I le wrap my book as he Although that method's seldom us'd by me His form I le follow in his Ibis now 60. And my own wonted fashion disavow And of thy name ' cause I le no mention make Do thou the name of Ibis also take And as something of night my verses have So let thy life prove black unto thy grave 65. On New-years day and on thy birth-day let All with true lips this book to thee repeat Ye Gods of Sea and Earth and ye with Jove That better Kingdoms do enjoy above Gods of the Sea are Neptune Castor Pollux c. Gods of Heaven that drink of Nectar are Jupiter God of power to help Mars God of war to fight Apollo God of wisdom to counsel Liber God of wine to comfort To us
