pay as homage to thy sweeter lips Where such Nectarean fragrancy he sips That richly laden to the East he roues And with thy breath perfumes those spicy groves Their native fount and sacred Naiades These Issuing streames renouncing to the presse whom finding they with purling murmurs chide That Natures Law Commands away their tide wishing that winter would confine their race In Icy chaines that they might stand and gaze If thou canst thus enflame Natures cold rheume What wonder that my youthfull floud consume The cruell Mistresse TELL me O love why Celia smooth As Seas when winds forbear to sooth Their waves to wanton curles then down More soft which doth the Thistle Crown Whither then is the milky road That leades to Joves supreme aboad Should harder far and rougher be Then most obdurate rocks to me Sheds on my hopes as little day As the pale Moon 's aclipsed ray My heart would break but that I hear Love gently whisper in my ear Actions of women by affection lead Must backward like the sacred tongue be read To his Mistresse Desiring him to absent himselfe SEE how this river 's liquid glasse Can never cease its motion Untill he hide his Christall face i th' bosome of the Ocean The amorous Nymphs who closely guide His purling Chariots reines Declare that loves impetuous tide To be represt disdaines Charm Zephyr that his gentle wing Not with Narcissus play The Sun in his diurnall ring From Thetis lap delay Stop the departed soules career To its appointed blisses All thiâ— effected you may steer Me to abstaine your kisses To his scornfull Mistresse LOve in 's first infant dayes had 's Wardrobe full Sometimes we found him courting in a Bull Then drest in snowy plumes his long neck is Made pliable and fit to reach a kisse When aptest for imbraces he became Either a winding Snake or curling Flame And cunningly a pressing kisse to gaine The Virgins honour in a Grape would staine When he consulted Lawns for privacies The Shepheard or his Ram was his disguise But the blood raging to a rape put on A Satyre or a wilder Stallion And for variety in Thetis Court Did like a Dolphin with the Sea-Nymph sport But since the sad Barbarian yoak hath bowd The Grecian neck Love hath lesse change allowd Contracted lives in eyes no flaming robes Wears but are lent him in your Christall Globes Not worth a waterd Garment when he wears That Element he steals it from my tears A Snake he is alasse when folded in Your frowns where too much sting guards the fair skin A Shepheard unto cares and onely sips The blushing Grape of your Nectarean lips The Ram Bull stallion Satyrs onely fight Loves battels now in my wild appetite He in his Swan too suffers a restraint Cygnaean onely in my dying plaint Since all his actions love to moralls turnes And faintly now in things lesse reall burnes In such a weaknesse contraries destroy And she his murdresse is who now is coy To Mr. J. L. Vpon his Treatise of Dialling OLd time but for thy art alone would passe And idly bear his solitary glasse Though he fly fast thy judgment mounted on The wings of fancy yoakes his motion Each little sand falls not unquestioned by The due observance of thy piercing eye Each moment you converse with so that thus Discoursing his stage seemes not tedious others perhaps by their mechanick art May ask him what 's a clock then let him part Thou in thy circles conjur'st him to stay Till he relate to thee the month and day All propositions of the Globe dost bring To be confest as well in dialling What lucky signes successively do run By the reclining chariot of the Sun And in a various dialect of Schemes Interprets't all the motions of his beames How many houres each day he travells in When he arrives diogonall Inne Other bookes show the trade of dialling But thine the art and reason of the thing Thou knowst the spring and cause that makes it go Addest new wheeles demonstrated all so That weake eyes now may see what was before Defective in the fam'd Osorius store A lim at least of this celestiall trade Asleep till now lay in the Gnomons shade Nor teachest thou as those who first did find With much circumference the Indian mine Thy needle points the nearest way and hath Made streight th' obliquity of the old path Thou nor thine art our praises need yet I Will for this miracle both deify Thine art enlightens by a shade of that Nothing a reall Science you create Epithalamium To the L.
