the Earth a Friend to distressed Ladies and the Soveraign Prince of the Anthropophagi or Man-Eaters ONe day in battle I found out the Queen of the Amazons she seeing me resolved that I should fall by no other hand than that of so great and mighty a Queen and thereupon rais'd her hand with her Sword therein but I not willing to lose any time struck her at which she fell to the Earth then taking her by the hair of head I threw her with such fury and force that she flew to the fifth Heaven and fell upon Mars as he was sporting with Venus Venus being greatly afraid cryed out for help at whose cry the God's came running to her aid but were much astonisht when they saw Mars stretcht out upon the place Hereupon Jupiter thrust his head through the Casement and saw me distributing wounds among my enemies with so much danger and fierceness that the fire which flew from every blow resembled another Mount-Gibel or Aetna Therefore Jupiter said to all his Brother gods that none of them should stir or make any further noise of what was done since it might be supposed that he which had killed Mars the God of War was every whit as able to kill the rest of the gods which yet remained living WHen I speak my voice penetrates the depths of Hell where-ever I appear the World offers me a free subjection from East to West It is well known that where ever I am my Bedstead is made of the Ribs of Giants the Ticking of my Bed is filled with the Moustacho's of the Masters of the Camp to the Grand Turk my Bolster with the Brains which I boxt out of the Heads of his Captains my Cloaths are made of the Hair of Amazons my Coverlids are composed of Switzers-beards my Curtains of the Hair of the Eye-brows and Eye-lids of Hungarians and Germans the Floor of my House instead of Brick is paved with Janazaries Teeth my Tapistry are the skins of Arabians and Sorcerers whom I unbarkt with the point of my Dagger the Tiles which cover my House are the Nails of Monarchs and Kings whose bodies long since in dispight of them and those miserable carcases they indeavoured to defend with a kick of my Foot I tumbled into their Sepultures SCorning to draw my Sword against a bravade English Captain I gave him such a kick on the Breech that he mounted into the Air and knockt his Head against the Sun with such great force that he was the cause of its Ecclipse for five days immediately this Captain kneel'd before Jupiter praying him to pardon me all my offences in recompence of the kindness I had done him by that kick of the Arse I had given him which sent him to Heaven among the Stars since it lay in my power to send him as far a contrary way to Hell among the damned WIth one single hair of my Mustacho's which if I should dart at thee it will make so great a gap in thy Body that the whole Infantry of Spain and Cavalry of France shall be able to pass through without touching either the one side of thee or the other WIth this most redoubted Sword I Ruine I set on fire I put all into a Flame triumphing over Armies laying waste Cities Castles Towers Walls and invincible Fortresses With my presence I make Jove hide himself Mercury flye Cupid tremble Mars disguise and Transform himself and though the silly Ram doth see me take the Tribute from his Darling Venus which I demand yet durst not make one Butt at me for so doing WHere ever I am Death is continually with me because he finds more profit from us then if he were General of one hundred thousand Men to fight the Turk or Devil He knows it well and therefore continually follows and accompanies me in the Conquest of the Kingdoms of Grimanians Dicenians Dinamians Alopitians Pitanians Espinomenians and Nomanians so that to speak the Truth without his company I should walk alone because I find none like me and none I like but him AS the World is divided into four parts three whereof Affrick Asia and Europe and these three are incompassed and environed by the Sea so my heart is divided into three other parts of a Nature Affable Terrible and Cruel and three parts are surroundnot with Water but with living Flames of scorching Fire And as the fire is so is by reason of Love my heart by which means I am so inraged that with three blows of this my good chopping blade the fore-stroke back-blow and thrust I could slay all Mankind making Rivers of Blood longer than Ganges broader than the Po and more terrible than the Cataracts of Nile But the World may be thankful I am in Love for it is only for her sake that I suffer wretched Mortals to have a being I Have in me the nature of a Basalisk and something more for if he with his looks can kill one I when angry with mine can destroy an hundred for my Eyes are equaly as fatal as a Chain shot from a Demi-Canon IF that true v●lour which my Soul possesseth could be purchased by Money all Traffick would cease by Sea and Land and no more talk of Merchants or their Commodities for every one would then labour and imploy their industry to the utmost who should get the greatest share in me one would aim at one of my Arms another a Leg one a Finger a fourth a Nail a fifth a Hair of my Eye-lids and this to no other end than that he might become valiant But I rejoyce that this cannot be by any means effected because it is one of the greatest causes of the present repose and quiet of all those Kings Monarchs and Princes which are all my very good friends and Kinsmen NOt long since my Baud my old Whore Fortune gave me some offence so that I became more displeased with her than formerly she was beloved by me in so much that if she performed not her Articles with me I swore by Pluto's Horns by the Beard of Mars by Samson's Whiskers and by Mahomets Alcoran that I will deprive her of her Prerogative of mutability and inconstancy and as to her Body with one shock I will dispatch her to Terra Incognita her Limbs so shattered that at the very instant of her arrival thither she should be reduced to powder which shall be by some or other gathered and preserved for my use that is to throw as Dust or Sand on those Letters I send to my Mistress I Have in two days more augmented the Stygian Kingdom of Pluto and peopled with Subjects his black dark and smoaky Realm than ever did Rodomont Rolant Renaud Mandrigard and Radamante having made the hearts of more valiant and couragious men in a thousand and a thousand places to tremble let those which inhabit the East West North and Equinoctial Line be my Witnesses WHen I walk in the Streets of the City a thousand Ladies run to meet me
