Hymenaeus 4. TH' Idalian Boy no sooner with his Fire Had warm'd the brest of Honour'd Casimire That now he leaues the Nimphes along his Rheine T' espouse Eliza with Saint Valentine But smiling at the Newes away he hi●de To Cyprus where his Mother did abide There is a Mount within this sacred I le Right opposite against seauen-headed Nile Another way affronting Pharos bright That many a mile the Sea-man lends her light Here on a plaine to mortall wight vnknowne Where neuer storme or bitter blast had blowne Or candi●d hoare-Frost show'd the crusty earth But euer May of meriment and mirth An hedge the same enuirons all of Gold Which Mulciber for sweet embracements sold And wanton dalliance to the Cipryan Dame T is said and since she hath possest the same VVhere still the fields with veluet-greene are spred And blossomes paint the woods all white and red No Bird may perch her on the tender bow But such for voyce as Venus shall allow The trees themselues doe fall in loue with eith●● As seemes by kissing of their tops together And softly whispring when some gentle gale Chides from the Mountaine through the shady Vale.

For which the Eye the Frame should most commend Here Cupid downe with weary wing did light And iocu●d comes into his Mothers sight VVith statefull gate who from a burnish'd Throne Embraces with
