inuoke Neuer was any sence so sette on fire With an immo●tall ardor as myne eares Her fingers to the strings doth speeche inspire And numbered laughter that the deskant beares To hir sweete voice whose species through my sence My spirits to theyr highest function reares To which imprest with ceaseles con●luence It vseth them as propper to her powre Marries my soule and makes it selfe her dowre Me thinks her tunes flye guilt like Attick Bees To my eares hi●es with hony tryed to ayre My braine is but the combe the wax the lees My soule the Drone that liues by their affayre O so it sweets refines and rauish●th And with what sport they sting in theyr repayre Rise then in swarms and sting me thus to death Or turne me into swounde possesse me whole Soule to my life and essence to my soule Say gentle Ayre ô does it not thee good Thus to be smit with her correcting voyce Why daunce ye not ye daughters of the wood W●ther for euer if not now reioyce Rise stones and build a Cittie with her notes And notes infuse with your most Cynthian noyse To all th● Trees sweete flowers and christall Flotes That crowne and make this cheerefull Garden quick ● Vertue that euery ●uch may make such Musick O that as man is cald a little world The world might shrink into a little man To heare the notes about this Garden hurld That skill disperst in tunes so Orphean Might not be lost in smiting stocks and trees That haue no eares but growne as it began Spred theyr renownes as far as Phoebus sees Through earths dull vaines that shee like heauen might moue In ceaseles Musick and be fill'd with loue In precious incense of her holy breath My loue doth offer Hecatombs of notes To all the Gods who now despise the death Of Oxen Heifers Wethers Swine and Goates A Sonnet in her breathing sacrifiz'd Delights them more then all beasts bellowing throates As much with heauen as with my hearing priz'd And as guilt Atoms in the sunne appeare So greete these sounds the grissells of myne eare Whose pores doe open wide to theyr regreete And my implanted ayre that ayre embraceth Which they impresse I feele theyr nimble feete Tread my eares Labyrinth theyr sport amazeth They keepe such measure play themselues and dance And now my soule in Cupids Furnace blazeth Wrought into furie with theyr daliance And as the fire the parched stuble burns So fades my flesh and into spyrit turns Sweete tunes braue issue that from Iulia come Shooke from her braine armd like the Queene of Ire For first conceiued in her mentall wombe And nourisht with her soules discursiue fire They grew into the power of her thought She gaue them dounye plumes from her attire And them to strong imagination brought That to her voice wherein most mouinglye Shee blessing them with kysses letts them flye Who flye reioysing but like noblest mindes In giuing others life themselues do dye Not able to endure earthes rude vnkindes Bred in my soueraigns parts too tenderly O that as Intellects themselues transite To eache intellegible quallitie My life might passe into my loues conceit Thus to be form'd in words her tunes and breath And with her kysses sing it selfe to death This life were wholy sweete this onely blisse Thus would I liue to dye Thus sence were feasted My life that in my flesh a Chaos is Should to a Golden worlde be thus dygested Thus should I rule her faces Monarchy Whose lookes in seuerall Empires are inuested Crown'd now with smiles and then with modesty Thus in her tunes diuision I should raigne For her conceipt does all in euery vaine My life then turn'd to that t'each note and word Should I consorte her looke which sweeter sings Where songs of solid harmony accord Rulde with Loues ●ule and prickt with all his stings Thus should I be her notes before they be While in her blood they sitte with fierye wings Not vapord in her voyces stillerie Nought are these notes her breast so sweetely frames But motions fled out of her spirits flames For as when steele and flint together smit With violent action spitt forth sparkes of fire And make the tender tynder burne with it So my loues soule doth lighten her desire Vppon her spyrits in her notes pretence And they conuaye them for distinckt attire To vse the Wardrobe of the common sence From whence in vailes of her rich breath they flye And feast the eare with this felicitye Me thinks they rayse me from the heauy ground And moue me swimming in the yeelding ayre As Zephirs flowry blas●s doe tosse a sounde Vpon their wings will I to Heauen repayre And sing them so Gods shall descend and heare Ladies must bee ador'd that are but fayre But apt besides with art to tempt the eare In notes of Nature is a Goddesse part Though oft mens natures notes please more then Art But heere are Art and Nature both confinde Art casting Nature in so deepe a trance That both seeme deade because they be diuinde Buried is Hea●en in earthly ignorance Why break● not men then strumpet Follies bounds To learne at this pure virgine vtterance No none but Ouids eares can sound these sounds Where sing the harts of Loue and Poesie Which make my M●se so strong she works too hye Now in his glowing eares her tunes did sleepe And as a siluer Bell with violent blowe Of Steele or Iron when his soundes most deepe Doe from his sides and ayres soft bosome flowe A great while after murmures at the stroke Letting the hearers eares his hardnes knowe So chid the Ayre to be no longer broke And left the accents panting in his eare Which in this Banquet his first seruice were HEerewith as Ouid something neerer drew Her Odors odord with her breath and brest Into the sensor of his sauor flew As if the Phenix hasting to her rest Had gatherd all th'Arabian Spice●e T'enbalme her body in her Tombe her nest And there lay burning gainst Apollos eye Whose fiery ayre straight piercing Ouids braine Enflamde his Muse with a more odorouse vaine And thus he sung come soueraigne Odors come Restore my spirits now in loue consuming Wax hotter ayre make them more sauorsome My fainting life with fresh-breath'd soule perfuming The flames of my disease are violent And many perish on late helps presuming With which hard fate must I yet stand content As Odors put in fire most richly smell So men must burne in loue that will excell And as the ayre is rarefied with heate But thick and grosse with Summer-killing colde So men in loue aspire perfections seate When others slaues to base desire are sold And if that men neere Ganges liu'd by sent Of Flowres and Trees more I a thousand fold May liue by these pure fumes that doe present My Mistres quickning and consuming breath Where her wish flyes with power of life and death Me thinks as in these liberall fumes

I burne My Mistres lips be neere with kisse-entices And that which way soeuer I can turne She turns withall and breaths on me her spices As if too pure for search of humaine eye She flewe in ayre disburthening Indian prizes And made each earthly fume to sacrifice With her choyse breath fell Cupid blowes his fire And after burns himselfe in her desire Gentle and noble are theyr tempers framde That can be quickned with per●umes and sounds And they are cripple-minded Gowt-wit lamde That lye like fire-fit blocks dead without wounds Stird vp with nought but hell-descending gaine The soule of fooles that all theyr soules con●ounds The art of Pessants and our Nobles staine The bane of vertue and the blisse of sinne Which none but fooles and Pessants glorie in Sweete sounds and Odors are the heauens on earth Where vertues liue of vertuous men deceast Which in such like receiue theyr second birth By smell and hearing endlesly encreast They were meere flesh were not with them delighted And euery such is perisht like a beast As all they shall that are so foggye sprighted Odors feede loue 〈◊〉 loue cleare heauen discouers Louers wea●e sweets then sweetest mindes be louers Odor in heate and drynes is con●ite Loue then a fire is much thereto affected And as ill smells do kill his appetite With thankfull sauors it is still protected Loue liues in spyrits and our spyrits be Nourisht with Odors therefore loue refected And ayre lesse corpulent in quallitie Then Odors are doth nourish vitall spyrits Therefore may they be prou'd of equall merits O soueraigne Odors not of force to giue Foode to a thing that liues nor let it dye But to ad life to that did neuer liue Nor to ad life but immortallitie Since they pertake her heate that like the fire Stolne from the wheeles of Phoebus waggonrie To lumps of earth can manly lyfe inspire Else be these fumes the liues of sweetest dames That dead attend on her for nouell frames Reioyce blest Clime thy ayre is so refinde That while shee liues no hungry pestilence Can feede her poysoned stomack with thy kynde But as the Vnicorns pregredience To venomd Pooles doth purdge them with his horne And after him the desarts Residence May safely drinke so in the holesome morne After her walke who there attends her eye Is sure that day to tast no maladye Thus was his course of Odors sweet and sleight Because he long'd to giue his sight assaye And as in feruor of the summers height The sunne is so ambitious in his sway He will not let the Night an howre be plast So in this Cupids Night oft seene in day Now spred with tender clouds these Odors cast Her sight his sunne so wrought in his desires His sauor vanisht in his visuale fires So v●lture loue on his encreasing liuer And fruitfull entrails egerly did feede And with the goldnest Arrow in his Quiuer Wounds him with longings that like Torrents bleeds To see the Myne of knowledge that enricht His minde with pouertie and desperate neede A sight that with the thought of sight bewitcht A sight taught Magick his deepe misterie Quicker in danger then Dianas eye Stay therefore Ouid venter not a sight May proue thy rudenes more then shew thee louing And make thy Mistres thinke thou think'st her light Which thought with lightest Dames is nothing mouing The slender hope of fauor thou hast yet Should make thee feare such grosse conclusions prouing Besides the Thicket Floras hands hath set To hide thy theft is thinne and hollow harted Not meete to haue so high a charge imparted And should it keepe thy secrets thine owne eye Would fill thy thoughts so full of lightenings That thou must passe through more extremitie Or stand content to burne beneath theyr wings Her honor gainst thy loue in wager layde Thou would'st be prickt with other sences stings To tast and feele and yet not there be staide These casts he cast and more his wits more quick Then can be cast by wits Arithmetick Forward and back and forward went he thus Like wanton Thamysis that hastes to greete The brackish Court of old Ocea●us And as by Londons besome she doth fleet Casts herselfe proudly through the Bridges twists Where as she takes againe her Christall feete She curls her siluer hayre like Amorists Smoothes her bright cheekes adorns her browes with ships And Empresse-like along th● Coast she trips Till comming neere the Sea she heares him rore Tumbling her churlish billowes in her face Then more dismaid then insolent before Charg'd to rough battaile for his smooth embrace She crowcheth close within her winding bancks And creepes retreate into her peacefull Pallace Yet straite high-flowing in her female prancks Againe shee will bee wanton and againe By no meanes stayde nor able to containe So Ouid with his strong affections striuing Maskt in a friendly Thicket neere her Bowre Rubbing his temples fainting and reuiuing Fitting his garments praying to the howre Backwards and forwards went and durst not venter To tempt the tempest of his Mistres lowre Or let his eyes her beauties ocean enter At last with prayer he pierceth Iun●s ●are Great Goddesse of audacitie and feare Great Goddesse of audacitie and feare Queene of Olympus Saturns eldest seede That doost the
