seauen Whose iustice dam's whose mercy iustifies What was is shall be in earth Hell or heauen Whome men and Angels lauds and magnifies According as his lawes command hath giuen The poore the Rich the Begger and the King In seuerall Anthems his great praises sing Then as the meanest doe their voyces stretch To lawd the sempiternall Lord of Lords So I a lame Decreppit-witted wretch With such poore phrases as my skill affoords From out the Circuit of my braine did fetch Such weake inuention as my wit records To write the triumphs of this famous I le On which both heauen and earth with ioy doth smile My Genius therefore my inuention moues To sing of Brittaines great Olympick Games Of mirth of heau'n and earth beloued loues Of princely sports that noble mindes enflames To doe the vtmost of their best behoues To fill the world with their atchieued fames T' ataine eternities all passing bounds Which neither Fate nor Death nor Time confounds Gunnes Drums and Trumpets Fire-works Bonfires

Right gracious Princesse great Elizabeth In whose Heroick pure White Iuory breast True vertue liues and liuing flourisheth And as their Mansion hath the same possest Belou'd of God aboue and men beneath In whome the Goddesses and graces rest By vertues power Iehouah thee hath giuen Each place doth seeme where thou remain'st a heauen The Royall blood of Emperours and Kings Of Potent Conquerors and famous Knights Successiuely from these two Princes springs Who well may claime these titles as their rights The Patrons Christendome to Vnion brings Whose vnitie remoted lands vnites And well in time I hope this sacred worke Will hunt from Christian lands the faithles Turke Since first the framing of this worlds vast Roome A fitter better match was not combinde So old in wisdome young in Beauties bloome And both so good and graciously inclinde And from this day vntill the day of doome I doubt succeeding ages shall not finde Such wisdome beauty grace compact together As is innate in them in both in either None but the Deuill and his infernall crue At this beloued heau'nly match repines None but such fiendes which hell on earth doth spue Will wish Eclips of their illustrous shines The Gods themselues with rare inuentions new With inspiration mans deuice refines And with their presence vndertakes these taskes Deuises Morions Reuells playes and Maskes The thund'rers Bride hath

this Bridall feast Infusing Iouiall glee in euery one The high the lowe the greatest and the least Sad mindes to sable melancholy prone Great Ioue their vitall parts hath so possest That all are rap'd in sportfull extasies With showts and Clamors ecchoing in the skies Apollo from two topt Muses Hill Light of the Sisters nine hath brought from thence Leauing Melpomena alone there still To muse on sad and Tragicall euents The rest all stretching their all matchles skill To serue this Royall Princesse and this Prince Thus Sol descended from his Radient shrine Brings Poesy and Musicke downe diuine The wrathfull God of Warre in Burnish'd Armes Layes by his angry all-confounding moode And in the lists strikes vp sweet loues Alarmes Where freindly warres drawes no vnfriendly bloud Where honours fire the noble spirit warmes To vndertake such Actions as are good Thus mighty Mars these triumphs doth encrease With peacefull warre and sweet contentions peace The Queene of loue these

but absent from the feast They may perhaps be merry in some sort But t is but painted mirth and ayery sport Bright Mayas sonne the God of tricks and sleights Hath op'd the treasure of his subtill wit And as a seruant on this wedding waightes With masques with reuels and with triumphs fit His rare inuentions and his queint conceites Twixt heauen aloft and hels infrerall pit He in immaginary showes
