seven Cubits high Still cold North winds blowing eternally Nor can the Sun those gloomie shades displace Nor when his horse mount the Meridian race Nor when he cools them in the Western maine There icy setters straight swift rivers chaine Wheeles shod with iron the strong-back'd water bears And where ships sail'd now safe goe laden Cars It breaks hard brass cloaths freez upon their backs Aud wine once liquid suffers now the axe And mighty lakes transform'd to ice soone hard Grow drops of water on their uncomb'd beard Meane while all heaven is dark with snow sheep die And under mighty drifts fair Cattell lie Whole herds of Deer new Mountains there infold That scarse you may their lofty crests behold Nor these with nets they snare nor seiz with hounds Nor are they frighted when the arrow sounds But as they struggle under hils in vain Kill with their Swords whil'st they aloud complain Then bear them home triumphing with a crie These under ground in Caves securely lie Whole Elms and loads of mighty Oke are layd Upon the hearth when the huge fire is made They spend the night in sport strong Ale they quaffe And wanting VVine carouse sharp Cervice off People so fierce nigh Hyperborean hills Under cold stars of th Artick Region dwels Still beaten with the sharp Ryphaean blasts Their body cloath'd with Sable Furs of beasts But if thou wool esteeme from thorns thy sheep From burs and briers preserve from rank grass keep And with soft fleeces snowie flocks elect But him although the Ram be white reject Whose mouth is alwayes moyst with a black tongue Lest he should change the colours of the young But choose another through the spacious plaine VVith a white fleece if it may credit gain Arcadian Pan thee Luna to the grove Calling intic'd nor didst thou scorne his love Is milk thy care then Lotus Cythesus bring And in their coats store of salt herbage fling This makes them drink which more the reat extends And with a quicker taste the milk commends Some from the Dams hinders the tender Kids And with hard muzzels from the pap forbids VVhat they at morning milk they press at night VVhat they at evening gain when day grows light The Swains to Market bring or sprinkled o're VVith salt they keep it for their winter store Nor of thy Dogs have thou less care but feed Fleet Spartan whelps and thy Mollossian breed VVith store of whay commanding such a guard ' Gainst thieves by night or wolves thou art prepar'd Nor shall the fierce Iberian thee afright Thou the wilde timerous Asse shalt put to flight Oft hunt the Hare and Deer with full-mouth'd hounds And thrust forth Boars shelter'd in wood-land grounds And from high Mountains with loud shouts beset Sometimes huge Stags and drive them to thy net Next learn to burn sweet Cedar in their roomes And smoke out Serpents with Galbanian gums For ost amongst the planks a Viper lies Deadly to touch and light affrighted flies Or else a Snake in sheltring roofs doth use VVhich will on Cattell cruell bane infuse Hid in the ground take thou a stake or stone And as he swels and hisseth knock him down But if he threaten yet thou mayst be sure He will by flight his Coward head secure His armed ribs being bruis'd and harnes'd traine Scarce rallying up his broken rear again In the Calabrian Groves there haunts a snake Wreathing a haughtie Crest and scalie back And mingled spots on his long bellie shew Who whil'st the rivers from the Mountains flow Earth with the Spring dew'd and the showrie South He lives in fens glutting his greedie mouth With fish and croaking frogs but when earth gapes And Lakes are drain'd with heat to Land he scapes Rouling his flaming eyes Then far and wide Rages with thirst with heat much terrifi'de Then let not me under heavens Canopie Sweet slumber seize nor on the grass to lie Neere murmuring Groves when he hath cast his skin And rouling shines in want on youth agen Leaving in 's nest his egs or else the young And dares at Phoebus shake his triple tongue The signes and causes now of each disease I 'le thee informe foule scabs thy flock will seise When chilling showres invade lifes strongest hold And horrid frosts wax grim with bitter cold Or when foule sweat sticks to them lately shorne And with rough briers their naked bodies torne For wiser Shepherds the whole flock will take And deeply plunge them in some cleansing Lake Far in to drench his fleece the Ram is thrown Who with the gentle stream comes gliding down Or when they 'r shorne the lees of oyle apply Or silver spume commix'd with Mercuris Idean pitch and store of oylie tar Scylla Bitumen and black Hellebor And no indeavor shall finde more successe Then if the skilfull Swaine an orifice VVith a sharp Launce shall open on the head Corruption lives and is by covering fed VVhil'st the idle Swaine neglects to dress the sore And from the Gods doth better things implore VVhen in the Bleater's marrow aches breed And putrid fevors on his spirits feed It will be good t' avert the raging paine By opening in his foot the beating vein So the Bisaltians were accustomed And the most fierce Gelonians when they fled To Rhodope or Getan wildes to quaffe Mix'd with thick milk the blood of horses off If thou seest any to the coole shades draw And sweet grass nibble as they had no maw Or lag behinde or grazing to lie down And ere they fould to march away alone Straight kill the guilty ere the dire disease Infect the flock and careless vulgar seise Nor oftner is the floods disturb'd with winde Then sheep with rots nor doth the sickness finde One to destroy but suddainly doth fall On root and branch stock and originall If any th' Alps and Norick Castles knowes Plac'd on high hils and where Tymavus flowes Deserted Realms now he may see of Swains And every where Groves and forsaken plaines Here once the aire infected did beget A plague which rag'd through the Autumnall heat All kinde of Cattell and of wilde beasts di'de The grass was tainted rivers putrifi'de Nor was one way for death but when the flame VVith burning thirst through feav'rous bodies came Cold Rheums again abound and the disease Their feeble limbs consumed by degrees Oft sacrifices at the Altars plac'd With snowie wreaths and flowry Garlands grac'd E're Sacrificers could dispatch fall dead Or if before the Priest one slaughtered The bowels on the Altars will not burne Nor the Diviner answers can return And scarce their knives with blood are sprinkled o're And the top-sand be stain'd with watery gore Then the fat Calf in richest pasture fals And his sweet life gives up at plenteous stals Hence Dogs run mad and sickly Boars perplex't With a short cough and with swolne jawes are vext The Conquering steed mindeless of war or food Unhappie falls and leaves the cooling flood And with his
