shalt thou slide And for thy food dust of the earth shalt licke Such plagues shall thee O lothsome worme betide Such woes on thee Iehouah hath disbursed Pronouncing thee of all his workes most cursed The husband-man among the rurall bushes VVill start and thinke each moouing twig a foe Still fearing-least among the marshy rushes Thou lying hid shouldst worke his second woe Thy deadly sting and golden speckled hew In false pretence thy glosing words doe shew But thou O Sathan proud infernall deuill Chiefe actor in this dolefull tragedie Lord of ambition maister of all euill Thy fatall fall behold I prophecie From out the woman shall an issue spring VVhich will preuayle against thy deadly sting Between her seed and thee O fearfull fiend Shall be continuall enmity and fight Thou shalt but pricke her heele she in the end Shall conquer thee and ouerthrow thy might Then man reioyce O Adam cease to waile Thy conquer or shall now no whit preuaile O woondrous pittie vndeserued kindnesse Of earths-sole founder to the worke he made Who seeing man cast downe in sinne and blindnesse So speedily him promisd help and ayd Ayd certaine ayd his arch-foe to repell To conquer death and conquer conquering hel Rejoyce then earth cease frowning heauens to glower Now broken are hels euer-lasting barres From whence man tooke by Gods almighty power Shall mount aloft aboue the twinkling starres There with the womans seed which promis'd is For euermore to raigne in heauenly blisse Ye chirping birds whose partie colloured plumes With gentle sound the whistling aire doe trouble In shady dales send foorth your dolefull tunes Let Ecchoes shrill your dulcid notes redouble Ada●… your Lord exil'd from Eden garden By faith and mercy hath obtayned pardon Ha●…monious Larke let neue blushing morning See dankish earth but mount thou from the ground And blewish skies with pleasant notes adorning For mans redemption signes of mirth resound Sweet Philomene let neuer Hesper shine Ere thou haue tun'd a thousand ditties fine Mild Eurus raigne in blustering Boreas place Leap sportiue fish aboue the Chrystall riuer Man reconciled to his God by grace Shall now in heauenly blisse abide for euer For these glad tydings frolike tender lambes In pastures pleasant with your merie dammes And lastly Adam sith it is decreed That thou must fight ere thou canst win the fort Fight manfully trust in the promisd seed And be most sure thou shalt arriue the port Port full of joy and heauenly blessednes Free from all cares and worldly wretchednes FINIS The old Worlds Tragedie I Sing of horrors sad and dreadfull rage Of stratagems wrought in the former age Contagious vice and in conclusion Of massacres death and confusion Vouchsafe my muse my dolefulst muse to tell What made the King of heauen to be so fell Sole Architect of earth and earthly landes So furiously the fabricke of his handes To bring to ruine can Iehouah then Poure out such fearfull threats on mortall men Full sixteen h●…ndred years

Pale enuie left her Adder-haunted den And rul'd on earth as supreame Queene of men Aspiring pride with weapons in her hand To warre against humility did stand Wherewith in fight she killed her at last And from the stage all massacred her cast Then dreadfull wrath met patience at the field And shortly she compelled her to yeeld Fals-hearted treason like a faithfull louer His woluish backe with
