nuptiall ring The monster vulgar thought and conquerd gaue The combatant already the foule graue Of their fore-speakings gaping for him stood And cast out fumes as from the Stigian flood Gainst his great enterprise which was so fit For Ioues cheefe Minion that Plebeian wit Could not conceiue it Acts that are too hie For Fames crackt voice resound all Infamie O poore of vnderstanding if there were Of all your Acts one onely that did beare Mans worthie Image euen of all your best Which truth could not discouer to be drest In your owne ends which Truths selfe not compels But couers in your bottoms sinckes and hels Whose opening would abhor the sunne to see So ye stood sure of safe deliuerie Being great with gaine or propagating lust A man might feare your hubbubs and some trust Giue that most false Epiphonem that giues Your voice the praise of gods but view your liues With eyes impartiall and ye may abhorre To censure high acts when your owne taste more Of damned danger Perseus scorn'd to feare The ill of good Acts though hel-mouth gap't there Came to Andromeda sat by and cheerd But she that lou'd through all the death she fear'd At first sight like her Louer for his sake Resolu'd to die ere he should vndertake A combat with a Monster so past man To tame or vanquish though of Ioue he wanne A power past all men els for man should still Aduance his powers to rescue good from ill Where meanes of rescue seru'd and neuer where Ventures of rescue so impossible were That would encrease the danger two for one Expose to Ruine Therefore she alone Would stand the Monsters Fury and the Shame Of those harsh bands for if he ouercame The monstrous world would take the monsters part ●o much the more and say some sorcerouse art Not his pure valour nor his Innocence Preuail'd in her deliuerance her offence Would still the same be counted for whose ill The Land was threatned by the Oracle The poisoned Murmures of the multitude Rise more the more desert or power obtrude Against their most sayd he come I the more Vertue in constant sufferance we adore Nor could death fright him for he dies that loues And so all bitternesse from death remoues He dies that loues because his euery thought Himselfe forgot in his belou'd is wrought If of himselfe his thoughts are not imploy'd Nor in himselfe they are by him enioy'd And since not in himselfe his minde hath Act The mindes act chiefly being of thought compact Who workes not in himselfe himselfe not is For these two are in man ioynt properties To worke and Be for Being can be neuer But Operation is combined euer Nor Operation Being doth exceed Nor workes man where he is not still his deed His being consorting no true Louers minde He in himselfe can therefore euer finde Since in himselfe it workes not if he giues Being from himselfe not in himselfe he liues And he that liues not dead is Truth then said That whosoeuer is in loue is dead If death the Monster brought then he had laid A second life vp in the loued Mayd And had she died his third life Fame decreed Since death is conquer'd in each liuing deed Then came the Monster on who being showne His charmed sheild his halfe he turn'd to stone And through the other with his sword made way Till like a ruin'd Cittie dead he lay Before his loue The Neirids with a shrieke And Syrens fearfull to sustaine the like And euen the ruthlesse and the sencelesse Tide Before his howre ran roring terrifi'd Backe to their strength wonders and monsters both With constant magnanimitie like froth Sodainely vanish smother'd with their prease No wonder lasts but vertue which no lesse We may esteeme since t' is as seldome found Firme sincere and when no vulgar ground Or flourish on it fits the vulgar eye Who viewes it not but as a prodegie Plebeian admiration needes must signe All true-borne Acts or like false fires they shine If Perseus for such warrant had contain'd His high exploit what honour had he gain'd Who would haue set his hand to his designe But in his skorne skorne censures things diuine True worth like truth sits in a groundlesse pit And none but true eyes see the depth of it Perseus had Enyos eye and saw within That grace which out-lookes held a desperate sin He for it selfe with his owne end went on And with his louely rescu'd Paragon Long'd of his Conquest for the latest shocke Dissolu'd her chaines and tooke her from the rocke Now woing for his life that fled to her As hers in him lay Loue did both confer To one in both himselfe in her he found She with her selfe in onely him was crownd While thee I loue sayd he you louing mee In you I finde my selfe thought on by thee And I lost in my selfe by thee neglected In thee recouer'd am by thee affected The same in me you worke miraculous strange Twixt two true Louers is this enterchange For after I haue lost my selfe if I Redeeme my selfe by thee by thee supply I of my selfe haue if by thee I saue My selfe so lost thee more then me I haue And neerer to thee then my selfe I am Since to my selfe no otherwise I came Then by thee being the meane In mutuall loue One onely death and two reuiuals moue For he that loues when he himselfe neglects Dies in himselfe once In her he affects Straight he renewes when she with equall fire Embraceth him as he did her desire Againe he liues too when he surely seeth Himselfe in her made him O blessed death Which two liues follow O Commerce most strange Where who himselfe doth for another change Nor hath himselfe nor ceaseth still to haue O gaine beyond which no desire can craue When two are so made one that either is For one made two and doubled as in this Who one life had one interuenient death Makes him distinctly draw a two fold breath In mutuall Loue the wreake most iust is found When each so kill that each cure others wound But Churlish Homicides must death sustaine For who belou'd not yeelding loue againe And so the life doth from his loue deuide Denies himselfe to be a Homicide For he no lesse a Homicide is held That man to be borne lets then he that kild A man that is borne He is bolder farre That present life reaues but he crueller That to the to-be borne enuies the light And puts their eyes out ere they haue their sight All good things euer we desire to haue And not to haue alone but still to saue All mortall good defectiue is and fraile Vnlesse in place of things on point to faile We daily new beget That things innate May last the languishing we re'create ●n generation re'creation is And from the prosecution of this Man his instinct of generation takes Since generation in continuance makes Mortals similitudes of powers diuine Diuine worth doth in
