while I in faith involv'd Fluentus doe by this make thee resolv'd Eramio to Fluentus REports of Gratulations to retain Me for your vowed servant are but vain For prosperous gales may drive me more your debtor Through Neptunes fomie floods to love you better For this pretext Epithalamium like The mirror of which influence doth strike That Epithesis to my humid sense That young Leander like I banish hence Foolish dispaire when such an easy price Favour'd by love may win a merchandise Richer than Cholchos pride such power and force Have your Platonick lines to make a course That once seem'd tedious when it was begun Pleasant and short to those that needs must run Thus far my thanks your counsell being had Kindly and seriously of one as glad As may be when he finds a friend will say And botch his lines to make an hower a day Trust me the winds are not so false as fleet Nor amorous nor kiss they all they meet Without exception those be foolish winds Which Bore●…s like blusters on all it finds There is indeed a breath that takes delight With his obdurate busses to affright Chaldei met come from Lavinium dales In love's disgrace but these are not the gales My Muse reports of t is a pleasing aire Which only sits and nestles in the haire Of my dear love which like a feth'red rain Circuits the Globe and thither comes again Witness the heads of those Aeolin streams Whose bubling currents murmur forth the dreams Of Nymphs and Satyres which acount the groves The ardent Salopia for their loves Ardent Narcissus mist the love he sought Yet foolish boy what ere he wisht he caught He lov'd himself and when himself he misses The eccho's mock him for his foolish wishes Amidst such Hero and such ●…hisban choices Thrusting him farther with their wanton voices To deeper griefs mounted on th' highest tops Dispair could grant those clear and silver drops Which only lingred time to kiss she sweet The innocent the pur●… and heavenly feet Of my faire love amaz'd him to behold For what they touch't they straitway turn'd to gold For shame Queen Flora daigns not to appeare Abash't to se●… a fairer Flora here Nor Cynthia did more chastity embrace Than she nor Venus a more lovely face Whose radient eyes that kindle Cupids fire Are Cos amoris whetstones of desire Then strive not this intire knot to undoe For I can love thee and Amissa too Eramio This by the one wrot by the other read Stopt Letters mouthes and sudden Parly bred In which dispute Eramio did haste To publish proofs but in his proofs was cast O dear Fluentus said Eramio In whom my soul revives by this I know Thou art upright so will I be upright No more the wicked boy shall taint my sight With his deluding parables I hate His idle lawes and at as high a rate Esteem Diana's worship as before I ever did and her alone adore And will you then neglect that lovely chase Fluentus said you so much did imbrace I will said he and if Eramio live No more I will my youth and honour give To foolish love Idalia's son I bid Thy laws adue and so indeed he did Which when his love the faire Amissa knew How all her wished joys abortive grew She watch't a time even as Eramio came From sweet Casperia Dian's sacred flame And there by force love conquering did move her By force to make Eramio her lover Eramio starts mistrusting even as reason Her self would do some new intended treason What cause said he hath urg'd you to this plot Against my life ye men I know ye not About to strike the faire Amissa cryes O ●…old thy blow for if thou strik'st she dies Whose death thou seek'st And came the cause from

Thy often flatt'ring messages had wrought By that black art from which this harm proceeds Or such faire beauty could have mask'd such deeds Long since thy soule to that black Cave had fled Of envious night and I snatch'd from thy head Those glorious Anadems thou us'd to wear Chaplets of curious flowers I did prepare For thy bewitching browes O how I hate My wicked star my too too envious fate I hate the time that did induce desire Of love I hate the fewel caus'd the fire I hate my eyes too credulous and kind To thy false heart that strikes thy beauty blind And which more honour from thy brest discovers To give example to young foolish lovers I vow by heaven and all the powers there be Therein I hate my self for loving thee His words half spoke Cyandus daughter cryes Is this the meed of zealous love and dyes For young Eramio in this plot deceav'd Vp from the ground the massie stone had heav'd Borne by the fury of a Tyrannous spite And as his present anger did invite Hurl'd it amongst them heard you not the sounds Of strugling vialls powring from their wounds Consumed oyle Amissa's feeble heart Paying untimely death for his wish't dart Its purest streams but lo a sudden

pleasant convoy to her soul Her soul and body gon those Heav'ns to grace As too too worthy for this sordid place Her heart to manifest the cleer complection Of her upright of her unstain'd affection Was metamorphos'd to a Diamont Which so th' afflicted lover did affront With visions dreams and such like signs to move A good conceit of her unspotted love Hold hold said he let my revenge alone The Gods have wayes enowe if once but shown The time will come when V●●us will inspire Into each scornfull brest tormenting fire By nought to be extinguisht for I know If Poets can divine it must be so It must be so and those who now deride Her holy laws and have too much reli'd Vpon the foolish worships of the Queen Of Chastity whose power is still unseen Ev'n as I am so will I alwayes pray Shall be perplext a thousand times a day This hand curst be this hand and every hand That rescu'd me and helpt me to withstand That glorious yoke my neck should daily move Vnder Amissa's too respective love This hand no more shall sprinkle the persume Of Frankinsence in Dian's

Traitors that debarr'd Wendenlands Crown from righteous Phaon's browe These cause the Gods had quit them of the vowes They made to work his death with open cries Proclam'd their thanks and sent them
