jarrs That blew the trumpet to th' intended wars She forfeits her prerogative to woo The Prince to what she ne'er could tempt him to Or by facility or kindness he But poorly retributes her courtesie Degenerate cold Prince whose frigid fire Only admits the name of love ' cause blind How else could thy excaecated desire Tend to ought else but her that was design'd To grace the bed o' th' Phaenix of his kind ' Count but externals she deserves no worse Than one that might inherit th' Vniverse Poize her intrinsick virtues and she calls For one that could ingross Heroicals Nay but for fear of a Dilemma I Could name the extract of formosity But he affects Cassandra on whom she Means to employ her best Chirurgery Which can't be ineffectual when each part 's Magisterial to allay the smart Her touch is a Dictamnum and her eyes Dart smiles more soveraigne then Panaces And so it prov'd her patient did regain At once both strength and vigor of her brain Witness her plot to quench ROSINDA's fires By th' consummation of her chast desires The Prince came to the camp of Scicily Upon her summons for ROSINDA she To save his life became a prey to them And won Cesario by a stratagem CANTO V. Or the DIONYSIADE DId'st see my Muse how yonder wanton whore Proud ' cause Queen Regent of this day hour Came whirling in her Coach as if she mean't To sport in some opacous firmament With her old Martial Paramour while he Rode on before her through the Galaxy But we will wink at that 't is my intent To enterprize a thing more eminent Let us observe Antonio that way Encountr'd by his DIONYSIA A dreadful combatant nay do not start In Cupid's lists she 's sure to thrill the heart Nor was she long in winning of the field Antonio was soon enforc'd to yeild Himself a wilful subject and forget Th' allegiance he vow'd to Margaret Such is the potency of her who darts Glances so piercing that they conquer hearts Yet he was loath at first to quit the yoak Of 's lawful soveraign but did revoke His resolution till a missive brought From DIONYSIA entertain'd his thought Then read consider'd wept a while and then Thinking ha'd past o'r somthing read again This rais'd a tempest in his troubled breast He re-enacted what he now reverst Thought of his Margaretta and the oath In Hymen's temple taken by them both Then weigh'd his DIONYSIA's courtesie Which put his mind in aequilibrity Consulted with his friend who did prefer The last and made her scal the heavyer Untill she came her self on embasie And turn'd the scales by th magick of her eye Which made him to conclude he would go on Although he grappled with destruction And who could chuse but be for such an one A renegado from 's Religion Perfect Antonio what thou dost begin Let th' worst come on 't 't will be a splendid sin Thus troubled DIONYSIA design'd To meliorate the Crasis of his mind By her prescriptions O thrice happy man Who had'st so potent a Physician Whose tongue whosoe ' experiments shall find Galeni Exhilerans to a pensive mind Whose eyes I 've try'd my self and now conclude 'T is th' onely Acopon for lassitude A kiss from whose sweet lips but he alone Must be thus blisful is a panchreston Yet all these Ana's could not do him good Naught can repaire his health but his own blood Which cures her too she and her rival friend Like to undaunted Amazons contend One weeping t'other smiling who could do An act most worthy their Antonio CANTO VI. BUt why so hasty Pegasus look here Is no great cause for such a swift career There 's nought in Friga's Vespers doth require So high a Pannade nor is' t my desire That thou should'st take the needless pains to sing The virtues of Landoff's fam'd Magick ring Which sure made her invisible for I With all my indagations could not ' spy That Non-parel who with her troops possest Th' Elective Empire of my torrid brest CANTO VII SAturne succeeded next who did ordain GARTRVDE's re-entrance in the lists again With her Antagonist which wee 'll pass o're Because we saw the combate once before And Seater's Vespers too because they lye Without our Province's territory CANTO VIII BRight Sol the next usurp'd th' Imperial throne But vex't to see beams brighter than his own He call'd to Zephyrus to bring supply Of Clouds as she dispell'd them with her eye But whence those powerful rays were sent did lye Out o' th' dominions of my prying eye So you may sleep my Muse but come anon To take thy ultime valediction CANTO IX Or the LVCRETIADE THen Cynthia ' rose the Empress of the sky But from this pensive palefac'd Deity My forward fear presagâ—d some Tragick end Our Acidalian revels did attend Now Muse thy Pegasus his course hath run This is the day Albions refulgent Sun Did pass that line which terminates my sight And left me groping in a polar night LVCRETIA of whose virtue Fame hath hurl'd Sufficient Euges through th' capacious world Did from her modest eye such lightning dart Kindled lascivious fires in Tarquin's heart Who posted from the camp to raze the splendor Of that stout fortlet which would not surrender But having lost her name regardless she Resolv'd not to survive by battery Demolish'd th' fabrick Thus that Roman dame Resign'd her life to notifie her name In Fame's records but this no doubt did write The copy fairer than the prototype Had this been real 't would go nigh I fear To cause a fatall Regifugium here Then I retirâ—d yet dubious whether she Deserv'd my plaudite or plangite For if those hapless men whose lot did fall I' th' farthest part o' th' frigid Zones bewail Their half-years-night yet sure their Sun will turn At 's period what cause have I to mourn Doom'd from the sight of mine whose brighter rays Make me more sensible of such delays Especially sith I do not know Whether 't will e'er be day again or no. CANTO X. Or the CONCLUSION THus was I partially eclyps'd and here Apollo too forsook our Hemisphere And went to 's brother Neptune's bed to cool His fiery chariot in his Western Pool Leaving his Lacquey Vesper in his seat Tâ— unharness th' horses and provide them meat Mean while my restless fancy my feet leads T' expatiate in the adjacent meads Where silent Charwel revels as she goes To th' Nuptials of her elder sister Ouze And to this Nymph I made my moan till night With his black mask had hoodwink'd all the light Cynthia was absent too sure she was gone To Latmus to salute Endymion So I was forced to retire to rest But Morpheus with his wiles could not arrest My watchful sences then Aurora led The blushing Morne from her Mygdonian bed And made the rays of light in tumults throng Which come too soon although they stay'd too long For warlike Mars usurp'd the reins o'th'sky The last of this so famous Heptarchy And would needs be my convoy till I come Out of the precincts of Elysium For such were those most blessed banks that while SHE darted there her beatifick smile Then blame me not if I was scarce content To want those Aspecâ—s yet at last I went But with eyes so retorted that I made My tâ—rdy paces seem all retrograde Yet was my tedious journey too soon done Our jades before the Sun 's their course had run But here are none 'fore whom to vent my woes And flames depress'd grow but more vigorous Experience dictates for this heâ—rt of mine Is daily holocaustâ—d to that shrine The Book EPILOGizeth THus have my pages entertain'd your eye With some reflections of formosity He that enumerates all shall find it more Than th' task o' th' Segamore's Embassador And now let Critick Catos vent their rage In their censorious descants on each page All such Malignant Planets I 'll neglect So you 'll but deign me your benign Aspect Fâ—rsan hec olim meminisse Juvabit FINIS
