The English PARNASSUS OR A HELPE TO English Poesie Containing A COLLECTION Of all Rhyming Monosyllables The choicest Epithets and Phrases With some General Forms upon all Occasions Subjects and Theams Alphabetically digested By JOSUA POOLE M. A. Clare Hall Camb. Together with A short Institution to English Poesie by way of PREFACE London Printed for Tho. Johnson at the golden Key in St. Pauls Church-yard 1657. 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 presse 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 ows both its originall 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 burthensome 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 sleighted profession are not free from partly from the difficulties that attend the education of youth and partly from that generall 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 losse of Modesty that there never came yet abroad so methodicall an Institution of ENGLISH POESIE 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 layes the solid foundations of humane life and undertakes a businesse 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 tendernesse 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 testifie my faithfulnesse 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 conceale 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 expresse my self Sir Your most affectionate Friend and faithful Servant Josua Poole To the hopeful young Gentlemen his Schollers in that private School at Hadley Kept in the house of Mr. Francis Atkinson SWeet impes of early hopes whose smiling brow Beckens the cincture of the laureate bough Whose lips seem made to tast 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 augurie Presage betimes what the fledge soul will be For you Ingenious spirits thus I trie To find a milkie way to Poesie That babes as they the coral nipples lugge May find an Hippocrene within the dugge 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 greete At once may find their own and verses feete 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 phancies raise That whilst they run at they shal win the Baies In all their sports they shall the Poets play And make the Birch prevented by the Bay For they shal need no Masters to rehearse Long tedious precepts of the lawes of verse In them so printed shall those lawes be seen As if they had the lawes of Nature been The only taske 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 fingers 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 seene After the Thracian Harper dance along Wedding their motions to his well-tim'd song And all that shal their sodain 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 shal be Advantag'd by that hill whose tops do rise In stately height to parly with the skies On then sweet souls that sacred verse may be No longer call'd the thred-bare mystery Let the world see what yet it scarce before Hath known there are good Poets yet not poore Whose inspirations and rich phancies 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 ebbe and flow lust as their cups greater or lesser grow Phaebus 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 my selfe though I did ne'r bestride The winged horse and through the welkin glide Vnto the forked hill nor saw the spring Where those sweet maids of Memory do sing Whilst their harmonious aires give easie birth Vnto the flowers and help the teeming earth Whilst shaggy Satyrs yeild their sences thrall To the sweet cadence of their madrigals And all the leavy standards of the wood Quitting the place
