Violence in an ambush Enuy shrowdes Pride is associate with lustfull loue Craft here sets vp the art of cosening Ignorance there of spurblind censuring Euen then when Auarice had spred her wings And couetous desire was waxen fligge A company of ruder vnderlings In the deepe entralls of the earth gan digge Whē as amaz'd they stood vnto their sight Appear'd a woman all in siluer dight No sooner had her beautie giuen a print In the soft table of these mortall hearts No sooner had her fauour made a dint In their weake bosomes but she plaies her part After her faire enticing countenance With witching words she puts them in a trance Mortalls quoth she whose toiles deserue some gaine If for to digge me out the massy deepe You haue begunne and ended all this paine Though ignorant who should my presence keepe Take me possesse me chalenge me your slaue For hauing me you seeme the world to haue Out of th' infernall bowels of the ground Neare to the Stigian horrour of blacke Dis Where foule Cimerian darknesse streakes around Amidst those clowdie shades my mansion is I come where Styx doth dimme the Fayries sight Where all is darknesse saue my splendours light My beautie now approaching Phoebus rayes Looseth the beautie of her shining lampe Your eies are dim your mortal iudgemēt saies The Sunne hath giuen me an eternall dampe But purge the grossenes of your lying eine And you shall see me darken Phoebus shine Whilst that my glory midst the clouds was hid Like to a Iewell in an Aethiop's eare Or as a spot vpon a christall lid So did my brightnes with more pride appeare My selfe most faire oppos'd to cloudes most fowle Sate as an Eagle ore a formelesse owle Ye tonguelesse cauernes of the earth adieu Farewell blacke house of Styx-polluted ground My glory hath bene much extold by you In your deepe holes my brightnesse first was found Now I haue got th'earth'superficiall Farewell darke Styx blacke Phlegiton and all No sooner had her sence bereauing eye Bewitcht with loue and admiration The Ideot sight of this rude company Oh palpable and grosse illusion But first Auarus maister of the crew Beheld his followers with a iealous view Straight he exclaimes ye rude Mechanicalls Do you not tremble at this wonderment Ye more vnciuill then the Bacchanalls Do you not stand amaz'd at this euent This is a Queene behold her maiestie Nay more a goddesse see her deitie Blessed diuine glorious immortall pure Sacred vnspotted and maiesticall Whose high supremacie stands euer sure Whose pedigree is true celestiall Whose power is equiualent to the gods Who do'st exceed their maiestie by ods Still let mine eyes be glutted with thy sight Still let mine eares drinke thy harmonious voyce Still let mine hands erect to thee aright Beg for thy presence my desires sole choyse Still oh still let my hand mine eare mine eie See heare and touch thy royall dignitie Gaze still mine eye on her attractiue glory Feed on her beautie surfet on her grace Be thou in lookes her due contributory Glut thee with view of her resplendant face Contemplatiue desire let neuer rest Til thou do'st learne her lookes be manifest Harke still with true attention mine eares When times require performe your function Her voyce more sweete then motion of the spheares Or Philomell in her Pauilion Oh that mine eare mazed with such a sound Might in a trance lye groueling on the ground Hands if you durst with a small ciuill touch Be witnesses of this heauens ornament You would be proud your honour should be such To touch a goddesse most omnipotent Sufficeth me that I may please mine eye Although mine hand touch not that maiestye Goddesse erect thy beautie from the ground Too base a seate for such an Emperesse Since Lady of such honour thou art found Giue no disparage to thy worthinesse Assume the place of thy great dignitie And be the mistresse of this Emperie No sooner had his lips dame silence clos'd But in steps open-handed Prodigus He with this Lady in an humour gloz'd Vtt'ring more braues then minuck Roscius At last in words his humour to display Swelling in pride to her he thus gan say Lady diuine mistresse of golden mines Earths precious iewell heauens paramour Whose beautie brighter then faire Cinthia shines All able riches sweete ambassadour Gracious fore-runner of felicitie Constant vpholder of high maiestie With ioyfull newes leape to this open brest A receptacle for thy worthinesse In this hote borough build thy warm dry nest Where being heated thou wilt strait confesse A surer couert thou hast neuer found Within the massie roundure of the ground Thou shalt view countries that be farre remote Thou shalt with me to our Antipodes Thou shalt behold the Zones cold temp'rate hote Thou thousand captiues shalt from bonds release Thou shalt appoint countries that now lie dead With habitants to be replenished Thou shalt a Iudge bribe with a benefite Thou shalt rich countries and whole nations buy Like to an Empresse thou by me shalt sit Whilst I am graced with the Empery Thy sentence as a grauen lawe shall stand What case of lawe doth not lye in thy hand Thou shalt a paire of foes congluminate Yet amongst equalls breed dissention None dares presume to be th'associate What 's not effected if thou wish it done Nations shall fight to see thy gracious fauour Whilst thou secure sits laughing at their labour Follow my colours and thy glorious fame To euery eare shall be a frequent sound All tongues with wondrous loue shal speake thy name Thy presence in all meetings shall be found Thy worthy name shall finish euery clause Whē thou shalt cease to shine

raigneth but hath enemies No vertue but endangered by vice Ladie in truth and faire in veritie In pompe maiesticke in show beauteous In slie apparance full of dignitie In liberall actions most bounteous Though in thy selfe lyes no disaster crosse Yet in thy vsage stands or good or losse We neuer knew that Natures holy Nature Created ought to a prepost'rous end Good in it selfe we know is euery creature And from it selfe doth good effects intend Yet vsing vertue in an euill cause We guiltie are of breaking vertues lawes Siluer is framed to a good entent To be reducted to the shape of

tuition And in the Lappe of vertue build thy nest This cottage is a secure
