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 paire Oh let thy graces daily on them showre Let each of them be thine adopted Heire Raise them at last to thy Celestiall Bowre And seate them Both in lasting glories Chaire In fine their earthly dayes be long and blest And after bettred in eternall rest A Sonnet to be Imperious maiestick mirrour of Kings Iames great Brittaines Monarch GReat Phoebus spreads his Raies on good and ill Dame Tellus feeds the Lyon and the Ratte The smallest Sayles God AEol's breath doth fill And Thetis harbors both the Whale and Spratte But as the Sunne doth quicken dying Plants So thy illustrous shine doth glad all harts And as the earth supplies our needfull wants So doth thy bountie guerdon good desarts And like the ayrie Eoll's pleasant gales Thou filst with ioy the Sailes of rich and poore And as the sea doth harbor Sprats and Whales So thou to high and low yeald'st harbours store Thus Sea Ayre Earth and Titans fiery face Are Elementall seruants to thy grace To Life SInce that on earth thou wondrous wandring guest Arithmeticians neuer number can The seuerall lodgings thou hast tane in man In Fish in Foule in tame or bruitish beast Since all by thee from greatest to the least Are squar'd 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 And Larkes to thee no better are then Kites Take then the bad and let the good alone Feede on base wretches leaue the worthy wights With thee the wicked euermore will stay But from thee Fame will take the good away To Eternitie THou that beyond all things dost goe so farre That no Cosmographers could e're suruay Whose glory brighter then great Phoebus Carre Doth Shine where night doth ne're eclipse the day To thee I consecrate these Princes acts In thee alone let all their beings be Let all the measures of their famous tracts In thee begin but neuer end like thee And when thy seruant Time giues Life to Death And Death surrenders all their liues to Fame Oh then inspire them with celestiall breath With Saints and Martyrs to applawd thy name Thus vnto thee as thine owne proper rights I
