losse enioying heauen Or thinke of danger when an Angel guards me Can greater glory to my life be giuen Then her maiesticke beauty that rewards me Nay is not he of happinesse bereau'd That neuer saw her face nor heard her voyce And those that win our loue or most regards me Confesse that we are godlike in our choice 73 He left his Ianisaries in a trance And to her priuate chamber straite enioyes His bloud within his azure veines doth dance In loue th' effects are seene before the cause For nectar'd kisses and a smile by chance Are but loue branches though they grow vp first And Cupid thus confines vs in his lawes To tast the fountaine ere we quench our thirst 74 Night like a Princes pallace full of light Illumin'd all the earth with golden starres Here Art crost Nature making day of night And Mahomet prepares him for loues warres A banquet is ordain'd to feed delight Of his Imperiall bountie with expences A heauen on earth he presently prepares To rauish in one hower all her sences 75 Her eyes could glance no way but saw a iewell As rich as Cleopatra gaue her loue Pictures haue power to warme ice with loues fewell The gentle treading of the Turtle-doue The Camels lust that in his heate is cruell And Iupiter transformed from a man When with his breast the siluer streame did moue And rauish Leda like a snowy Swan 76 The table furnisht to delight the taste With food aboue Ambrosia diuine Such as would helpe consumptions that did wast The life bloud or the marrow Greekish wine So high one draught would make Dian vnchast Nectar is water to this banquets drinke Here Aesculapius did his art resigne And pleasure drown'd with standing on the brink 77 To please her hearing Eunuches sang as shrill As if that nature had dismembred them All birds that ecchoes musicke through the bill Sang ioy to her in an vndittied antheme An artificiall heauen stands open still Filling the roofe with a sweet vnknowne noyse Downe fals a clowd like a rich diadem And showes a hundred naked singing boyes 78 The sence of smelling with all rare deuises That rich Arabia or the world can yeeld The dew of Roses and choise Indian spices The purest of the garden and the field The earth to part with these rare gifts now nises And vowes no more her nature so profuse Shall let her sweets be from her breast distild To feed their vanitie with her abuse 79 Then in a rich imbroidred bed of downe Pluck't from the cōstant Turtles fethered breast Vpon her head he set imperiall crowne And to her goes Now is his soule at rest This night he counts the end of his renowne The sence of feeling she feeles by his power And like a subiect yeelds to his request Whilest Mahomet a virgin doth deflower 80 Now feares this flower deflowr'd his loue will waine Wishing the lustfull act had bin vndoon The pleasure cannot counteruaile the paine For still she thinkes with torment joy is woon His loue growes full she gets it now with gaine He like a ring of gold insets his iewell But fearing of his force she should disdaine Till sighes and kisses did inflame Loues fewell 81 Then like the God of Warre caught in a net He twin'd his Venus danger was not nigh And as a Diamond compar'd with Iet So show'd her sparkling eye against his eye The sunne-gaz'd Eagle now this done doth get And gently gripes her hurting not his pray She sounds with pleasure second sweets are high And wishes Phoebus blinde all night no day 82 The red-cheek't morning opens now her gate And busie day breathes life into the world The heauens great coachman mounted is in state And darknesse from the aire to hell is hurld Now pleasures king by day light sees his mate Whil'st she lay blushing like the damaske rose His ietty haire she with her fingers curld He hug'd her fast least he his ioyes should lose 83 Her fight begot in him a new desire For that is restlesse alwaies in extreames Nought but saciety can quench loues fire Now throgh the christal casemēt Phoebus beames Dazled those twinckling starres that did aspire To gaze vpon his brightnesse being a louer Tasting her petulans in waking dreames To hide her from the sunne he doth her couer 84 Then sweet breath'd musicke like the chime of spheares Did rauish pleasure till this paire did rise More wonder then that sound was to men eares Was her rare beauty to the gazers eyes Ioy was so violent the rockes it teares The noise and triumphs beates vpon the aire And like ambition pierceth through the skies That Ioue loo'kt downe on her that was so rare 85 Thus Mahomet both day and night doth spend In obseruation of her eyes and pleasure Growing so iealous least he should offend His soules perfection natures vnspent treasure If she but speake to him he low doth bend And such a seruitude he doth discouer Neglecting of himselfe in that grosse measure That Hiren clips her slaue no Emperour 86 Her chamber is her prison O most willing And there like house-doues they each other woo At first shee 'l shun him after fall a billing And with imagination make him doo Thy eies quoth Mahomet saues thousands killing For all my force vpon thee shall be spent Thy warres directions I do best allow Thy Armes my Armour and thy bed my Tent. 87 Who doth offend this paramour straight dyes As certainly as if pronounc'd by fate Who doth with duty please her needs must rise Her face directeth both his loue and hate The grosest flatterer is held most wise Now reignes swolne gluttony red lust and pride For when the heart 's corrupted in a state Needs must the other parts be putrifide 88 The cōmons like wolues bark against the moone And sweare they wil depose him from his throne The Nobles whisper and intend that soone Some one shal let their griefe to him be knowne To scape that office now is each mans boone Who speakes against her whets a fatall knife For he replyes I loose but what 's mine owne As sure as we haue life you loose that life 89 They stand amaz'd by hearing their own feares Each viewing other with a face extracted Some praying cursing other shedding teares To see a Louer by a Souldier acted Patience doth foole vs that so long forbeares To tell our Emperour hee 's turn'd a monster And to such ease and vices so contracted The world his birth and titles doth mis-conster 90 Then Musstapha beloued of the Turke Stood vp and said I hazard will my head Know Countrymen I le vndertake this worke And if I fall lament me being dead No flattery within this breast shall lurke For that to Princes eares is now grown common Whilest Mahomet to haue his pleasure fed Doth loose the worlds sway for a fickle woman 91 Vnto her priuate chamber straight he goes And findes his soueraigne sleeping on her lap On suddaine wakes him
