AN ENGLISH-MANS LOVE TO BOHEMIA WITH A friendly Farewell to all the noble Souldiers that goe from great Britaine to that honorable Expedition AS ALSO The names of the most part of the Kings Princes Dukes Marquisses Earles Bishops and other friendly Confederates that are combined with the Bohemian part BY IOHN TAYLOR Printed at Dort M DC XX. We beare the outward forme of Martialists But worth and manhood in the minde consists And noble Souldiers that our shapes do see We are but shadowes you the substance be TO THE HONORABLE WELL APPROVED AND accomplisht Souldier Sir Andrew Gray Knight Colonell of the forces of Great Britaine in this noble Bohemian Preparation SIR ANDREVV GRAIE Anagramma I GARDE IN WARRES Honorable Knight THere are two especiall Causes that haue moued me most boldly to thrust these rude lines into the world the first is my hearty affection to the generality of the cause you vndertake which I beleeue God and his best seruants do affect and the other is my loue and seruice which I owe to your worthy selfe in particular for many vndeserued friendships which I haue receiued from you and many of your noble friends for your sake Ingratitude is a Diuell so farre worse then all the diuels that if it should craue harbor of me in the likenesse of an Angell of light yet I would neuer be perswaded to entertaine it My thankfull acknowledgement of your goodnesse towards mee is my prayers and best wishes which shall euer be a poore requitall towards you not forgetting my thanks in the behalfe of all the worthy Ladies and others of that Angelicall sex that are maried and resident in London whose chast honours you as became a true Knight defended when an audacious Frenchman most slanderously did without exception swear there was not one honest woman dwelling within the boundes of this populous City but that they had all generally abused the bed of mariage then did your noble selfe inforce the pestiferous pesant to swallow his odious calumny and in humility to confesse there were fifty thousand or a greater number that neuer had wronged their husbands in that vnlawfull act I haue made bold to speake of this matter here because the abuse was so generall your quarrell so honorable which I think vnfit to be buried in silence or forgetfulnesse howsoeuer I craue you pardon and worthy acceptance whilst I most obsequiously remaine Euer to be commanded by you Iohn Taylor A FRIENDLY FAREWEL to all the noble Souldiers that goe out of Great Britaine vnto BOHEMIA WArres noble Warres and manly braue designes Where glorious valour in bright armour shines Where God with guards of Angels doth defend And best of Christian Princes doe befriend Where mighty Kings in glittering burnisht armes Lead bloody brusing battels and alarmes VVhere honour truth loue royall reputation Make Realmes and Nations ioyne in combination Bohemia Denmarke and Hungaria The vpper and the lower Bauaria The two great Counties of the Pallatine The King of Sweden friendly doth combine The Marquesse and Elector Brandenburge The Dukes of Brunswicke and of Lunenburge Of Holsten Deuxpont and of Wittemberge Of the low-Saxons and of Mackelberge Braue Hessens Lantsgraue Anholts worthy Prince The inhance Townes whom force cannot conuince Prince Maurice and the States of Netherlands And th' ancient Knights of th' Empire lend their hands These and a number more then I haue nam'd Whose worths and valours through the world are fam'd With many a Marquesse Bishop Lord and Knight T' oppose foule wrong and to defend faire right Whose warlike troops assembled brauely are To ayde a gracious Prince in a iust warre For God for Natures and for Nations lawes This martiall armie vndertakes this cause And true borne Britaines worthy countrymen Resume your ancient honors once agen I know your valiant minds are sharpe and keene To serue your Soueraignes daughter Bohems Queene I know you need no spur to set you on But you thinke dayes are yeares till you are gon And being gone you 'le wealth and honour win Whilst ryot here at home addes sin to sin You God assisting may do mighty things Make Kings of captiues and of captiues Kings Riches and loue those that suruiue shall gaine And fame and Heauen the portion of the slaine The wounds and scarres more beautifull will make Those that doe weare them for true honours sake Since God then in his loue did preordaine That you should be his Champions to maintaine His quarrell and his cause a fig for foes God being with you how can man oppose Some may obiect Your enemies are store If so your fame and victori's the more Men do win honour when they cope with men The Eagle will not triumph o're a wren The Lyon with the Mouse will not contend Nor men gainst boyes and women wars will bend But clouds of dust and smoak and bloud and sweat Are the maine meanes that will true honour get Thus to fames altitude must men aspire By noble actions won through sword and fire By trumpets clangor drums guns flute or fife For as there is an end to euery life And man well knowes that one day he must end it Let him keep 't well defend and brauely spend it O griefe to see how many stout men lye Halfe rotten in their beds before they dye Some by foule surfets some by odious whoring In misery lye stinking and deploring And e're a lingring death their sad life ends They are most tedious loathsome to their friends Wasting in phisicke which addes woe to griefe That which should yeeld their families reliefe At last when wished death their cares do cure Their names like to their bodies lie obscure Whereas the souldiour with a Christian brest Wars for his Soueraignes peace and Countries rest He to his Makers will his will inclines And ne're gainst heauen impatiently repines He to his Sauiour sayes that thou art mine And being thou redeem'st me I am thine That if I liue or die or die or liue Blest be thy name whether thou take or giue This resolution peirces heauens high roofe And armes a souldier more then Cannon proofe Suppose his life ends by some noble wounds His soule to heauen from whence it came rebounds Suppose blowne vp with powder vp he flies Fire his impurity repurifies Suppose a shot peirce through his brest or head He nobly liu'd and nobly he is dead He lies not bedred stinking nor doth raue Blaspheming against him that him should saue Nor he in Phisicke doth consume and spend That which himselfe and others should defend He doth not languish drawing loathsome breath But dies before his friends doe wish his death And though his earthly part to earth doth passe His fame out weares a monument of brasse Most worthy countrymen coragious hearts Now is the time now act braue manly parts Remember you are sonnes vnto such sires Whose sacred memories the world admires Make your names fearefull to your foes againe Like Talbot to
