in th' Horizon plac'd Through euery part with glorious Starres are grac'd Nor in vaine showes was this Magnificence Alone consum'd but reall Monuments Which his great power to after-ages prais'd A stately Temple he to d Venus rais'd Or in Deuotion or in pride to grace That Deitie from whom he drew his race That now the Paphian Queene by Caesar's reigne Might seeme a truer conquest to obtaine Ore blew-ey'd Pallas and the wife of Ioue Than when they for the golden Apple stroue And Paris fatall iudgement did bestow The prize on her to Iliums ouerthrow For Rome and all the conquer'd World farre more Are forced now to honour and adore Her name than theirs so much it was to be Th' originall of Caesar's pedigree More than the daughter or the wife of Ioue The Temples structure in rare beautie stroue With what the height of fancy could expresse Or any pennes most gracefull happinesse Describe aright vpon the walls did stand In Parian marble wrought with curious hand That amorous story where the Phrygian boy The beautie of a goddesse did enioy The vale of Ida there was shadowed such As Poets made it Ida vale so much Indebted to the Muses seemed now Vnto a Painters hand as much to owe The bower of Loue was richly carued there That happie bower of blisse and pleasure where Venus descended from the Chrystall skie To generate the Iulian family Was as a Bride in all her glories led To fill with beautie young Anchifes bed Neere them their Noble issue in whose blood A Goddesse mixt with man Aeneas stood Such was his shape so shone his cheerefull face As young Apollo's when he goes to grace His natiue Delos and in height of State That Festiuall intends to celebrate Or Bacchus when from conquer'd India The yoked Tygers his proud Charriot draw Troian Aeneas whose fam'd History Great Maro's Muse did after raise as high As th' old Maeonian did Achilles fame But that most pious posture more became Aeneas farre when at the fatall sacke Of Troy he stoop'd and on a willing backe Flying from thence carry'd his aged Sire From the Greekes Swords and all-deuouring Fire Together with his gods whom he priz'd more Than Priam's wealth and all Troyes burning store Behinde was young Iulus and did seeme With short vnequall steps to follow him That Prince from whom the Iulian family Deriue their name as well as pedigree Who the foundations of long Alba lay'd And ore that land a powerfull Scepter sway'd By him the Scepter'd issues of his blood In their successiue order carued stood Till Alba was destroy'd by Tullus doome And all her people were transfer'd to Rome From Alba's sacke the pedigree went on And was deduced lineally downe To Caesar's time in whose successe and reigne Alba had seem'd to conquer Rome againe But into th' hazard once againe to throw A State so strong so sure as Caesar's now Seem'd to the World to be a furious e warre More full of threats of doubt and danger farre Than euer had as yet oppos'd his reigne The two young Pompeys raise in farthest Spaine There where the Great Alcides pillars stand And proudly boast to bound the farthest land That part of Spaine must proue the third sad stage Of Ciuill warre and Romes selfe-wounding rage Those that inhabit that farre Westerne shore Vainely suppose that they alone before The setting Sunne forsake this Hemisphere Doe view his face at nearer distance there Than other men than other Countries can And that he falls into their Ocean As Poets taught or else his loftie Sphere Bowes downe more neare the Globe terrestriall there Because his beautious Orbe before the set Vnto their eyes appeares more large and great Those mistie fogges and vapours that arise From that great Sea which interposed lies Breaking diffuse the rayes from th' eyes that went Or else inlarge the obiects figure sent And make the setting Sunne seeme greater so As bright things largest in the water show Whence they scarce any twilight haue at all Either at Phaebus rising or his fall Day breakes together with the rising Sunne And day together with the set is done All Spaine in figure of a bullockes hide Is by the Ocean wash'd on euery side And made almost an I le saue where her ground The Pyrenaean hills from France doe bound From whose East end for old description makes Fiue sides of Spaine the first beginning takes And Westward thence vnto the Gades extends But by the way to South obliquely bends And is inuiron'd by the mid-land Seas Where stand those Ilands Balearides From whence Metellus tooke his famous stile Faire Ebusu● and that small snaky I le The second side from Gades of small extent Is to the sacred promontory bent In which short space two riuers of no small Account in Spaine into the Ocean fall Baetis and Anas farre their channells spread And from the siluer Mountaines both take head Both their great channells doe at last diuide And make two Ilands by the Oceans side From thence the third side in a line extends And at the Nerian promontory ends From South directly North it goes this bound Of Spaine doth Westward know no further ground That all along the boundlesse Ocean laues Thither the golden Tagus rowles his waues Winding through Lusitania and into That Ocean doth in one great channell flow From thence the Northerne side of Spaine extends And at the Pyrenaean Mountaines ends Bounded along by the Cantabrian Sea Within those shores the wildest Nations be The barbarous Celtae rough Asturians And those that name the Sea Cantabrians But last of all the fifth and North-East side The Pyrenaei make which doe diuide Gallia from Spaine which by their wondrous height Might seeme to threat the Skies and once more fright The gods with a Gigantike warre that side Of those high Mountaines which surueyes the pride Of wealthy France doth bare and barren show Cloth'd with no grasse no trees at all there grow The other side which barren Spaine oresees Shewes like a fruitfull Summer cloth'd with trees Which neuer doe their verdant colour lose And so to both th' adiacent Countries showes As if to clothe himselfe he had robb'd Spaine And lost his owne to make France rich againe That loftie Mountaine if we trust to fame Did from the faire Pyrene take his name When Great Alcides moued by the fame Of King Geryon's stately cattell came From Greece to fetch that wealthy spoile away Entring the bounds of Spaine he there made stay King Bebrix then ore all those Mountaines reign'd And there with Feasts Alcides entertain'd The conquering guest by Fate vnhappie spy'd Pyrene daughter to the King and fry'd With inward flames at last while there he stay'd His charming words had wonne the royall maid He vowes his loue still constant shall remaine And when with Conquest he returnes againe Espousall rites But cruell Fates deny And make Alcides slow in victory Too slow alas nor could the fight be try'd Ere faire Pyrene
