T Is not enough to weepe for if it were Nature would bee dissolved into a teare Fancy would glory if that it could bring Pure Helicon to bee a briny spring Perhaps deare beauty thou didst only come To teach how we should know Elysium T is our parts then to ioy not weep that we Had the blest sight of such felicitie Heaven will not be lesse glorious and to grieve For thy departure hence a cause may give Of kindling wrath in it because we goe For thy being theirs the Pilgrimage of woe We saw the Sun the moone the Stats when life Was pleasd to name thy divine selfe it's wife We saw thy eyes too in whose every glance A greater lustre then theirs seemd to dance Beauty wee see which once Apelles drew But never such as did appeare in you We smelt Arabia yet far beneath Was it in our thoughts thy celestiall breath Wee perus'd vertues actions but by thee Wee thought her exceld in divinity In brightnes beauty sweetnesse vertue all Might thee their only great example call Is it prophane to sorrow for thee How Will that sin fill the world when as they know That thou art gone though wee joy for their blisse Wee must needs sigh when wee knew what it is That is fled from us Ti 's the sweetest faire Death gave heaven light while we here darkned are And then my candle went out On the death of my most honoured vncle William Prujean Doctor in Phisicke c.

tydings Every silver Spring Glories when that Lisander it may bring Vnto a happy shoare Never a friend Is there of mine but does thy valour send As if it were a Marses Some did tast That were their enemies of what thou hast When as the Sylvian gods had left them to * Ruine thou conquenedst that fiercer foe For strangers thou didst hazzard out the dye Then must Cleander know thy cruelty Must friendship have no recompence but this What is in it that can bee happines Each sonne to Aeol when they waft away What thou hast done will lose their dresse of day And bee turn'd with its foule infection To cloudy vapors Is Cleander gone And by Lisander has the frowne of fate Lowr'd on him O unhappy friendships ●●ate To what did all the sighs and teares of thine Tend when thou didst commend thy love in brine And sorrowes aire unto the woods when each Of th' harbingers thou how to mourne didst teach When as the mary gould desir'd no sun To shew shee thy unhappy sate did moane Didst thou e're hope for to enioy my love When treacherous to Cleander thou didst prove Thou didst not play the Politician right Enough to kill him in the dead of night A prepar'd field had better fitted this Since thou art tearm'd a Sonne to noblenesse One of her chiefest too thy memorie Which fild the world will by this ruin'd bee Thus does Lisander give reward they 'll say For his friends love his friends life takes away 'T is false Lisander did it not Yee reeds That to each gole of winde doe bend your heads Yee feathery waving fancies yee that doe The falsest alwayes give your credits to And thou base rumour that darst staine the worth Of heavens darling Thunder will breake forth And curb thy trumpetting Though thou beest free A while the Powers will find their enemie Can hee whom great Bellona favoured best Forsake her deity and so staine his crest Perjur'd Berontus but Cl●rind● * more Dare yee wipe of Lisanders noble score Divinitie should hee but goe astray Would turne into sins night its glorious day Hee surely is the mover of that sphere And where his soule directs it must be there Bee bright Lisander shew thy innocence Let that bright Sun display its influence That all may see thee morelesse all may know Thou nee're to such an Erinnys didst owe Or any thought or action What 's divine That will not have some clouds before it shine Yet I 'll disperse all these And since 't is done Confesse to the world the deede was mine alone 'T was mine Lisander This my right hand did That which so long and often I deni'd Yet blame mee not young courtier for 't was thee That wert the cause of this my cruelty Thou sud'st for love and for to recompence It with a grant I attempted this offence A sword was found there bloody All secure I made when I had done the act so pure An essence of rich policy did give Mee leave that while its harborour to live Not for to rage because I feare to dye More would I undergoe sweete friend for thee Were I but sure thou would'st constant prove But how can murderers bee true in love Rage did not make mee doe this stir'd by that Feare t is alas the only thing I hate Yet me thinks I should pare it with another But what thou ere hast I here doe smother done Live still Lisander And for all thy vowes Thy signs thy teares take this which love allowes If thou doest the most wretcht Calista see Yeelding to death as 't is the lawes decree Say to thy selfe Lisander shee did dye Not for Cleanders murder but for thee The Judge shall yeeld thee guiltlesse and for this Let mee but have one teare my dust to blisse * Hee freed her father and brother from theeves in a wood * Her maide who voyc'd abroad the false intelligence LOVES LOOKING-GLASSE Lisander to Calista KNowing by th' superscription whence these came And that they had the faire Calista's name Heaven I invok't to make mee worthy to Enrich my eyes with what the inside show How often I ador'd how often kist The paper where I thought thy hand not mist For to recount would puzzle any one Though he was an Arithmaticion In loves sweete merchandise Why what can come Then say'd I from Calista but a doome To love her whilst I live and where can blisse Ly if not in so great a happinesse Then I presum'd to read But when I see A conspiration for my miserie When I did view my friend Cleanders death And mee the fatall cause given by thy breath My ful blowne worth began to sade mee thought My eyes to dimnesse as they read was brought Thy letter did so gloriously appeare With thy stil'd justice I durst not come neere For feare the rays should burne me how dare I Thinke my selfe cleere when thou accusest mee My martiall hazzards did not freez my blood So much as when I saw thy nuntio's brood Stuck with so many of thy angers darts Now does Lisander read and now hee starts First with a pleasing calme my heart is blest Now comes a Boreas and denyes mee rest His raging blasts he every where sends and Makes my poore soule subject to their command Whilst the flame is disperst through every pore Ready to cast mee unto Charons shore Some words I happily receive of love But thousands my ioys enemies doe prove Neptune in 's fury ne're could give such shocks Vnto a ship as I have by these rocks Iove ne're had with the gyaganticke race Such trouble as I have in one lines space Their suppos'd truths I tremble to deny Because they faine themselves to come from thee Should I deny what is from heaven sent How could I looke for a lesse punishment Then it 's hate to reward me Sweeting speake My part is only no reply to make But will the powers no succour to me lend Can my poore innocence finde ne're a friend Must envy have her will and justice dye Must vertue now be thought impietie I must conclude it so for they confine From libertie thee th' onely stocke divine Of all Elysiums governours Has he No pitty whom we call our Deitie Love in its selfe being so just a thing So holy should have such a God and King How have I been unto my vowes untrue To merit sweet Calista this of you Or to Cleanders friendship how false have I been that here my love must finde a grave Yet have you not the taint as well as I Enjoy I not Calista's destinie To tender arguments so ' gainst me is 'T would make me prisoner from my happines Else I could bring ô that I nought could bring But what would make me with Calista sing My loyaltie to valour who can I taint Me there Calista that ne're erring Saint Yet cannot all these crimson gemmes I weare Pleaders for their Lisander now appeare They can but dare not till Calista's face Banishes frownes and takes her candours grace My very sword if that Calista say It must its trusty master will betray Rather then lose successe to its plot 't will runne To my foe and helpe there to eclips my Sunne Hot in disputing of a question sent Unto me faint I grew A banishment From life I feare which made me soone let goe My nipping sophister my sword my woe Which since I could not find But ah all this Rather detracts then addes to happinesse Why doe I blame my valour ' cause it vail'd To envies cloudy frownes could I have sayl'd Unto a better shoare with my wish 't was ' Cause I should take with faire Calista place Why doe I chide my wounds because they hid Themselves and would not for their Master plead Why doe I rage and question thee my sword ' Cause thou didst run from me thy trusty Lord Some happy fate that knew my friend should dye And she be doom'd the cause instructed yee How you should make me blest I doe accept What you in store so long have for me kept We shall have nothing when thou' rt gone but strife VVho shall with thee first sacrifice their life The Rose the Lilly Panciby what 's best Of natures joy will seeke with thee to rest The meaner beauties will desire to stay To gaine when thou art gone perfections bay Both will dye once both will enjoy one death VVho will not with Calista lose his breath To my Selfe an Allegory ANchor within this port thy ship has yet The smiles of Neptune and no tempests met Yet has no Doris rought her brow nor given Envious or angry lookes All smooth and even Gives thee a welcome yet Yet Englands flood Curles not her silver maine but for thy good Yet has Elysium's calmest breath appear'd No angry North yet yet nothing to be fear'd The gods have to thy voyage prosperous been Trust not another fortune here strike in O happy shoare when I salute thy sand Me thinkes my mother has me at command VVhere can an infant thinke to fare the best If at her dugge it is deny'd to feast Thou stretchest forth thine arme to catch thy sonne Sweet Thamesis with ruine halfe undone Ah! hold me fast lest a dissembling wave VVith witching charmes makes me thy true love leave For when Sh' has got me at her wisht-for state I must indure the rigid front of fate Keepe me close in thine armes for if I finde Thy friendly pledges set none else be kinde The care is taken Ah! blest mother see On thee depends my onely destiny Let envy bubble if there 's such a fiend Against me Thamesis but prove my friend Or let her Dogfish barke I now am free VVhen once thy eye yeelds that I happy be Then goe no further here unsaile thy ship Shee will not hurt but save if thou 'lt be kept FINIS
