of earths felicitie Plentie with mirth replenisheth all things Plentie abandons all necessitie Truth Peace and Plentie vs'd well makes vs see A glimring of the ioyes in heauen that bee For Truth or true Religion represents The redolent melodious harmonie Which heau'nly Harpers with their Instruments Do offer to Iehouahs Maiestie Sweetly resounding on celestiall strings Their Makers praise whereto the holders sings Peace doth resemble that most sweet content Wherein the blessed soules most safely rest A midst the third and highest Firmament Vnder the Aultar of the Saints request In great repose much wealth and ioyes encrease VVhich lasting aye shall neuer fade nor cease Plentie of all things doth possesse the heau'ns Our plentie's but a shadow of that store Of ioyes which to the blessed soules are giu'n For perfect ioyes are there for euermore No eye hath seene eare heard or heart conceiu'd The ioyes that God for his elect prepar'd Among which ioyes Elizaes soule doth rest Sweetly refresht in the Elizian fields Where she enioyes the kingdome of the blest That neuer vnto alteration yeelds But euer shall endure both firme and stable Repleat with during ioyes innumerable Eliza for one death hath gain'd two liues First in Elisium farre aboue the Skie The second here on earth her name reuiues Which neuer dying liues eternally And from this auntient saying I deriue it As true as old Virtus post funera viuit Oh! gaine surmounting mortall mans conceit To loose an earthly crowne to get the crowne of glory To gaine a lasting life with ioy repleat For this which is but vaine and transitory To gaine immortall life for mortall breath Which seemeth life but is a vitall death All future ages shall admire her raigne When they shall heare her princely gouernment Vntill the liquid teares distill amaine Their owne vntimely birth they shall lament That they might not behold her golden daies So sweetly graced with immortall praise This Virgin-Queene did rule faire Albion Twise two twentie yeares with great encrease Of peace ioy wealth much honour renowne And then resigned vp her soule in peace To him that gaue it an immortall crowne In spite of thousands ten conspiracies Which Antichrist against her did deuise Thus haue I briefly as my slender skill Permitted now describ'd the happines Which we enioy'd vnder Eliza still While she did here her vitall life posses To be a Glasse for ages that shall bee Her prosperous and happie raigne to see VVhat though the Muses did not guide my quill To runne as doth the puncted Grecian verse My Lynes shall drop as from Parnassus hill Eternall Nectar on Elizaes Herse And in a sute which sable they do call Accompany her to her Funerall FINIS KING IAMES his Arriuall PAsse on my pen to Englands present state And shewe of sudden feare what hopefull ioy Did spring alike from out each others hate While Ioue rul'd both that nothing could annoy For feare did striue to make our harts to swound Ioy striu'd with mirth to make our hearts abound The first prefigur'd in Elizaes death When Feare triumphed in our fearefull brests The second in that health resounding breath God saue King Iames of England King the first Here sudden ioy ore-come the former feare A thing the like whereof is seene but rare O ioyfull sound of words spoke in due season When as our former hopes lay all on bleeding When sad distrust could see no ample reason Of this right wise most iust good proceeding Words spoken in due time and fitly placed Like golden apples with siluer pictures graced For when for true we heard this dolefull newes Eliza dead our hearts began to faint Our sinnes were great we could them not excuse God therefore iust we onely caus'd the plaint We thought our life with hers did then decay We thought her death gaue vs no longer stay But marke and see the goodnesse of the Lord When we nought but confusion might expect Did guide our Nobles hearts with one accord The worthiest Prince in Europe to elect King Iames the first next heire to the Crowne To rule this Land in honour and renowne Sprung from the line of that most roiall race Henry the seuenth who raigning married Elizabeth fourth Edwards daughters grace Vniting so the white Rose and the red The houses two of Yorke and Lancastar VVhich long before dissention did seuer VVhence he had issue princely Margaret Who to King Iames the fourth of Scotland King Espowsed was then she King Iames the fift To her said Husband happily did bring But whē King Iames the fourth her husband died To Earle of Anguish then she was affied To whom she brought a princely maiden bright Which to the Earle of Lennox married was And broght this Earle in time that worthy wight Henry the Duke of Albany his grace Who married Mary then the Queene of Scots By whom our Soueraigne Iames the sixt he got See here his worthy princely Ancestors 〈◊〉 lineall discent and rightfull claime Of English blood were his progenitors Whose noble Actes deserue immortall fame VVhos 's same reuiues though they in dust do lie For Monuments to all posteritie 〈◊〉 King endued with such royall parts ●oth of his body and his princely mind Of manhood prowesse learning wit and arts As though Queene Vertue had a place assign'd VVithin the Center of his learned brest For her and all her sacred gifts to rest A Prince most prudent and maiesticall As his profound and learned bookes declare Deriued from a minde heroicall Such workes of Kings are neuer seene or rare But of our princely Lord and King alone An other Dauid in his princely throne King Dauid taught wise Salomon his sonne To rule the kingdome after his decease So doth King Iames prescribe his Salomon A ruled way to perfect ioyes encrease To guide his helme in honor renowne Though aduerse cōtrarious winds do frowne King Dauid burned with an ardent loue Of sincere truth and perfect godlines So doth our roiall Caesar well approue His praise and glory to consist in this To meditate vpon the lawe diuine And thereby all his publike lawes refine If Iulius Caesar merited such fame VVho did indite his owne most worthy facts How much more thē shal fame aduāce thy name O worthy King which sings Iehouahs acts Which seekest not thy owne praise renowne But his that gaue thee thine Imperiall crowne Most mightie Caesar neuer canst thou flie The praise of fame because she followes thee Thy name she carries through the cloudie skie With wings farre lighter then the nimble Bee And shall in time to come thy praises sound In all the endes of this great circled round Thrice welcome then vnto our English shore Thrice worthy Monarch of faire Albion Ioue fill thy daies with honour peace and store Long maist thou sit vpon thy princely throne Long maist thou rule and long may we obay In Iustice seate long may thy Scepter sway Long
