wine in streames gainst one another stroue Where many a caske was bankrout and vndon Depriu'd the treasure of the fruitfull vines By Bacchus bounty that great God of wines Thus Ioue and Iuno Imps of aged Ops With wise Minerua Mars and Mercury Resplendent Sol with musicks straines and stops Faire Venus Queene of loues alacrity Loues God with shafts betip'd with golden tops And Bacchus showring sweete humidity Gods Goddesses the Graces and the Muses To grace these Triumphes al their cunnings vses Amongst the rest was all recording Fame Insculping noble deeds in brazen leaues That meagre Enuy cannot wrong that name Where braue Heroick acts the minde vpheaues Fames golden Trump will through the world proclame Whom Fortune Fate nor Death nor Time bereaues Thus like a Scribe Fame waited to record The Nuptials of this Lady and this Lord. All-making-marring Time that turneth neuer To these proceedings still hath bin auspicious And in his progresse will I hope perseuer To make their daies and howers to be delitious Thus Fame and Time affords their best endeuour Vnto this royall match to be propitious Time in all pleasure through their liues will passe Whilst Fame records their fames in leaues of brasse You sonnes of Iudas and Achitophell Whose dambd delights are treasons bloud and death Th' almighties power your hawty prides will quell And make you vassals vessels of his wrath Let all that with these Princes worse then well Be iudg'd and doom'd to euerlasting scath For t is apparent and experience proues No hat preuailes where great Iehouah loues To whose Omnipotent eternall power I do commit this blest beloued

and well compar'd vnto a span Oh fleeting Life take this my counsell than Hold long possession in the royall breast Dwell euer with the King the Queene the Prince The gracious Princesse and her Princely Spouse In each of these thou hast a lasting house Which Fate nor Death nor Time cannot conuince And when to change thy lodging thou art driuen Thy selfe and they exalted be to heauen To Death TO thee whose auaritious greedy mood Doth play at sweepe-stake with all liuing things And like a Hors-leech Quaffes the seuerall blood Of Subiects Abiects Emperours and Kings That high and lowe and all must feele thy slings The Lord the Lowne the Catife and the Keasar A beggers death as much contentment brings To thee as did the fall of Iulius Ceasar Then since the good and bad are all as one

Sea-fights and Fyre-workes with other royall occurrences which were accomplished at the Princely Celebration HHe that vppon the Poles hath hing'd the skies Who made the Spheares the Orbs Planets seauen Whose iustice dam's whose mercy iustifies What was is shall be in earth Hell or heauen Whome men and Angels lauds and magnifies According as his lawes command hath giuen The poore the Rich the Begger and the King In seuerall Anthems his great praises sing Then as the meanest doe their voyces stretch To lawd the sempiternall Lord of Lords So I a lame Decreppit-witted wretch With such poore phrases as my skill affoords From out the Circuit of my braine did fetch Such weake inuention as my wit records To write the triumphs of this famous I le On which both heauen and earth with ioy doth smile My Genius therefore my inuention moues To sing of Brittaines great Olympick Games Of mirth of heau'n and earth beloued loues Of princely sports that noble mindes enflames To doe the vtmost of their best behoues To fill the world with their atchieued fames T' ataine eternities all passing bounds Which neither Fate nor Death nor Time confounds Gunnes Drums and Trumpets Fire-works Bonfires Bells With acclamations and applausefull noyse Tilts Turneyes Barriers all in mirth excells The ayre reuerberates our earthly ioyes This great triumphing Prophet-likefore-tells I hope how Leathes lake

Right gracious Princesse great Elizabeth In whose Heroick pure White Iuory breast True vertue liues and liuing flourisheth And as their Mansion hath the same possest Belou'd of God aboue and men beneath In whome the Goddesses and graces rest By vertues power Iehouah thee hath giuen Each place doth seeme where thou remain'st a heauen The Royall blood of Emperours and Kings Of Potent Conquerors and famous Knights Successiuely from these two Princes springs Who well may claime these titles as their rights The Patrons Christendome to Vnion brings Whose vnitie remoted lands vnites And well in time I hope this sacred worke Will hunt from Christian lands the faithles Turke Since first the framing of this worlds vast Roome A fitter better match was not combinde So old in wisdome young in Beauties bloome And both so good and graciously inclinde And from this day vntill the day of doome I doubt succeeding ages shall not finde Such wisdome beauty grace compact together As is innate in them in both in either None but the Deuill and his infernall crue At this beloued heau'nly match repines None but such fiendes which hell on earth doth spue Will wish Eclips of their illustrous shines The Gods themselues with rare inuentions new With inspiration mans deuice refines And with their presence vndertakes these taskes Deuises Morions Reuells playes and Maskes The thund'rers Bride hath left her heauenly bed And with her presence this great Wedding graces Himen in Saffron Robes inuelloped Ioynes and accords these louers lou'd embraces Yea all the Gods downe to the earth are fled And mongst our ioyes their pleasures enterlaces Immortals ioynes with mortals in their mirth And makes the Court their Paradise on earth Maiestick Ioue hath left his spangled Throane To dance Leuoltoes as this Bridall feast Infusing Iouiall glee in euery one The high the lowe the greatest and the least Sad mindes to sable melancholy prone Great Ioue their vitall parts hath so possest That all are rap'd in sportfull extasies With showts and Clamors ecchoing in the skies Apollo from two topt Muses Hill Light of the Sisters nine hath brought from thence Leauing Melpomena alone there still To muse on sad and Tragicall euents The rest all stretching their all matchles skill To serue this Royall Princesse and this Prince Thus Sol descended from his Radient shrine Brings Poesy and Musicke downe diuine The wrathfull God of Warre in Burnish'd Armes Layes by his angry all-confounding moode And in the lists strikes vp sweet loues Alarmes Where freindly warres drawes no vnfriendly bloud Where honours fire the noble spirit warmes To vndertake such Actions as are good Thus mighty Mars these triumphs doth encrease With peacefull warre and sweet contentions peace The Queene of loue these Royall sports attend And at this Banquet deignes to be a guest Hir whole endeuours wholy she doth bend She may in loues delights out-strip the best For who so ere doth Hymens lawes pretend If Venus be but absent from the feast They may perhaps be merry in some sort But t is but painted mirth and ayery sport Bright Mayas sonne the God of tricks and sleights Hath op'd the treasure of his subtill wit And as a seruant on this wedding waightes With masques with reuels and with triumphs fit His rare inuentions and his queint conceites Twixt heauen aloft and hels infrerall pit He in immaginary showes affords In shape forme method and applausfull words Old sullen Saturne hid his moody head In dusky shades of blacke Cimerian night And wauering Luna closely cooch'd to bed Hir various change she knew would not delight The loyall minds where constancy is bred Where Proteus t thoughts are put to shamefull flight These two by Ioues command were straitly bound To stay at home as better lost then found Cupid descended from the Christall skies And leaues behinde his golden fethered darts In steede of whom he makes faire Ladies eyes The peircing weapons of true louing hearts And be amongst these high solemnities His awfull presence freely he imparts To all in generall with mirthfull cheere All sports the better if lou's God be there The of-spring of the high celestiall Ioue His braine-bred daughter and his thigh borne sonne One with aduice of wisedome shewed hir loue And tother bounteously made plenty ronne Where
