Straight shuts them vp within herselfe at warres Loue harts her eye maides modesty strikes terror Thus in loues conflict with chast modesty She loues and feares she sees and dares not see 26. But yet so closly could not this young louer Mooue the faire Orb of her Siderian eyes But straight the louesick Palsgraue could discouer And meet the turn with due obseruancies Hundred ey'd Argus Io nere so tended As he Eliza til these greetings ended 27. This thus and more perform'd in princely sort Dark sable-coulor'd Nox comes trotting on Mounted vpon Allaster from the port Of black Cymmerian pitchy Acheron Phaebus with fiery chariot flies away Post hast to giue Antipodes the day 28. Meane while a guard of gallant Gentlemen Addrest in skarlet liueries euery one With Cognizants first drawne with Pallas pen Then wouen with siluer gold and pretious-stone In which Palladian art did vive appeare King IAMES his arms great Britans Monarch there 29. These worthy Waiters worthy of their places Present their burning tapers 'fore the King Who with the Queen and all those Princely graces Addrest himselfe to Ioviall banqueting Which being done as fitteth Princes best They all retire them to nocturnall rest 30. King IAMES no sooner prest his lofty bed And Somnus comes to close his Princely eyes But Morpheus his fancy wakened And Consus counsels god he straight espies Who softly comes with graue and auncient pace Comely though old with reuerence in his face 31. With his fur'd night-gowne shooes cap for night In his right hand he brings a golden booke Thus he presents himselfe to IAMES his sight Much like old Philon both in speech and look Who for in younger age he taught his Grace His Highnes therfore knew him by his face 32. Who mildly standing at our Soueraignes feet He thus begins to speake with grauitie Great Britans Monarch giue me leaue to greet Thy mighty selfe and then to question thee Why'mongst so many dost thou tosse thy mind A match for faire Elizabeth to find 33. Behold great Ioue by heauens owne direction Hath sent thee one the mirror of his time Whose Auncestry next vnder your protection May with the best compare of Kingly line Whose regiment encreaseth with his yeeres In aequi-pollence to the mightiest peeres 34. More wise he is then young age can affoord Whom mighty Ioue both loues and offers thee He doth professe the same religious Word And link't in Christian league of amity Make this thy Son this Prince will only proue He worthy hers she worthy of his loue 35. Th'emperiall heauens command me tell thee this Which promise thee and them a royall straine Who shall for heauens intentions cannot misse Restore the golden ages back againe This said Mirh-breathing Consus goes his waies Leauing the King halfe sleeping in a maze 36. He with mature deliberation Who 't was was sent and who it was that sent him Together with his pleasing graue relation What good Ioue offer'd and what good he meant him These reasons force quoth he our full consent Being such as one had been sufficient 37. But most of all Religion she doth moue me Which all Kings ought to striue for to the death It 's that great German makes vs most to loue thee And hold thee worthy our Elizabeth Thus Britans Caesar in his thoughts revolv'd And thus he spake and thus he them resolv'd 38. But do you thinke Eliza's rest was peace Thinke you the Princely Virgin was not troubl'd Hersleep was lessened by her thoughts increase On Frederick thinking straight her thoughts were doubl'd To him no sooner thinks he to be kind But straight her Princely selfe comes to her mind 39. Aie me quoth shee what sodaine motion 's this How is my brest clogg'd with a bitter sweet Cupid hath surely ta'ne his shaft amiss Elce how could Feare and Hope together meete I know not how but yet methinks I see Such vncouth passions both at once in me 40. Loue shall not trouble vs were loue so bold To enterprise our royall Vigin brest In vaine it straue to win our maiden hold That nere shall yeild let Cupid do his best Not though loues fire within me were as great As that Octaean or Trinacrian heat 41. Vnlesse my father giue his full consent Vnlesse my King appoint me whom to loue Loues arrowes are in vaine but idly spent And of no force should all loues forces proue Hee 's worthy Loue but aie what bootes to like Vnlesse my father doe the bargaine strike 42. Loue loue would sure but wither in the blade Proue barren fruitles langvish and so die Ah Frederick but that 's it makes mee'fraid I wish my father held th' as great as I Great God of Loue as thou hast plai'd thy part To make me Loue so moue my fathers hart 43. Procure him get a marriage worthy mee It is not farr his highnesse need to seeke Fortune presents fit opportunity Doe Cupid and I le kisse thy louely cheeke But yet in all be sure thou draw a dart That shall not misse Prince Frederick to the hart 44. Mine eies are onely plea'sd with his faire brow Me thinks and he should Loue to by his face Yet and perhaps the German loues me now If outward gesture shew the inward grace Why should not I then aunswer Fredericks Loue Whose were enough an Empresses to moue 45. Answer quoth I what answer shall I giue A virgin Princesse daughter to a King Except my Father vnder whome I liue Say to me This is he whose nuptiall ring Thy Princely selfe must weare this is the man Loue him then could I answer soone I can 46. Thus with a sigh her speach she smothereth But loue so would not close her waking eies Which way so ere the Vergin turns vimeth Shee could but thinke she Frederic espies And more she thinks such thoughts can fancy moue The louely Prince is suing for her loue 47. Nor yet when radiant Phosphorus appearing Vshers Aurora banishing the night The tawney liuery of bright Phebus wearing Can all-harts-conquering loue bee put to flight The lesse her loue she seeketh to bewray The more it 's seene by seeing euery day 48. How oft would she vnto her mother Queen Sweetly commend this Princes pedegree How oft would she haue blushing ready been To tell the titles of his Emperie His manners now then 's godly youth relating And then his hopes of age prognosticating 49. Her mother Queen obserues her speeches well And smiling sayes Our Daughter is in loue She likes it tho and to the King can tell Her passions which his Highnes doth approue Yet least she should perceiue they did reioyce They ieasted with the Virgine for her choyce 50. But afterwards the sapient King perpending Great Ioues commandement Rheins great family His Vertues Kingdomes and Religion tending All to aduancement of true piety What feare 't would strike to foes to hell what terror What loue both Court country beares this mirror 51.

Surely the picture calls and proffers grace If I should erre it is but loue and youth Which erres this is esteemd a veniall case My bookes declare how Cupid hath no ruth But makes men follow by fire and swords and floods Forsaking their owne parents lands and goods 103 You powers deuine if any loue true loue Or haue inspird me with affection Let me protest the same and humbly mooue Your help to bring this busines to perfection As ere my parents in heart honord you As I them imitate with seruice due 104.
