such who doe frigescere ad ignem I do desist to inueigh against their cold spirits onely in this I hate them that I pitty them He who will striue to please each curious eye Must freeze in sdence But I care not I Let better fauours fauour mine indeuour The vulgartaunting shall affright me neuer May it please you to whom it is intended Then T' is glory to deserue though not commended Non omnibus studeo non maleuolis FINIS THE Monarchs meeting Or The King of Denmarkes welcome into England NOw had the haruest of the yeare brought forth The blessed frute of long expected hope And leueld with the toile of labours worth The crop of fatnesse to the trad's-mans scope Now were the blossomes ripened to the hand Of well deseruing sweat when all anon The mighty ruler of a peacefull land Began to take his wisht progression Calme was the sea and gentle gustes did blow A whistling gale vnto the flagges of peace Full were the streames and smooth soft tides did flow And gaue assurance of contented ease When on the bubbling beauty of fayre Thames Vrg'd by the princely loue of amitie A Christian King in state and maiestie Was entertain'd with sundry showes of games The siluer Christall streame was proud to beare The burthen of a person each way graced With all the rites of humane Loue and Feare In whose high lookes honour was liuely placed Much welcome was the tydings of this newes Vnto the royall eare of worthy Iames Preparing with all speed that speed might vse With his owne presence to ennoble Thames Looke how did Ioue salute the minor Gods Inuiting all in heauen at a feast Where no more awe was reuerenc'd no odds Betwixt his proper person and the rest So did these Princes meet in whose first meeting Ioy was aboundant in the truce of loue Each inter-changing a concordant greeting Which in the peeres of both did comfort moue Ambitious was the riuer of this honour Knowing the value of the weight she bore Grac'd that such fauour Kings bestow'd vpon her Bearing a richer burthen nere before Kings met and Kings saluted one another Eyther reioycing in the others sight Princes with Princes brother ioy'd with brother Each solacing the other with delight A goodly view of Maiestie it was To see such intimated league betwixt them They striu'd in kindnesse how they might surpasse Sporting the season which the tide prefixt them Like to a Prince in euery point aright He came and like a Prince was entertained With all the tipes of dignity bedight with all the friendship friendship could haue claimed O what a gladsome sight of ioy it is When monarches so are linkt in amitie How strengthened are those Empires with safe blisse Where two such Princes ioyne in vnitie Great both are in dominions yet more great In being vertuously religious Fresh blooming piety doth praise beget In godly zeale Let tyrants be litigious What He amongst the stoutest of contempt Full in command and fuller in disdaine Durst any threats of en'mity attempt Or to oppose himselfe against those twaine Those twaine so firmly are they matcht together So euerlastingly affectionate So indiuidually combin'd together As they loue none of both who do one hate Power with power realme with realme vnited hearts ioyn'd with hearts and hand imbrac'd in hand Should all the world of nations be excited Yet all the world could scarse those two withstand Nor is it faining shew of smooth pretext But doubtlesse troth of loue which brought him hither Let none with such suspition be perplext For then they neuer had thus come together Nor can it be suppos'd a Prince so mighty so worthy in himselfe so absolute Who hath so large a rule a charge so weighty would leaue his countrie but for meere repute Puissant is the Danish King and strong In all the sinews of approued force Valiant and able for to right the wrong That should proceed from any eager course It is no common thing seene euery day Scarce in an age to see so great a state From out his countries boundes to come away For visitation of an neighbouring mate It is no common honour that is done Vnto our happy land by his arriuing Much worth thereby and glory haue we won Our home-bred hearts with stranger loues reuiuing Two Kings in England haue beene rarely seene Two Kings for singularitie renowned The like before hath hardly euer beene for neuer were two with more honour crowned This may we boast and after times report How much the King of Denmarke grac'd our age A King of so much eminence such port By his arriuall did his loue ingage England with Denmarke Denmarke eke with vs Are firmely now in league conioyned in one Seauen Kingdomes now againe vnited thus Are strength'ned so as stronger can be none Then as a certaine and welwishing greeting We thus applaud the monarchs happy meeting HAyle Princely stemme of great magnificence Issue of royall blood who dost commence True instance of thy fast vndoubted loue And by thy comming certainely approue The pledge of peace thus low in humblest heart Regreetes vnto thy truce doe we impart With fit applause our thankes deuoutly running Giues welcome to the honour of thy comming Time cannot rase nor amity surcease Betwixt our realme and thine a long liu'd peace Whiles thoughts are vndefil'd and credit true From age to age this league will still renue And thou thy selfe great King of Danes wilt ioy Counting the hazards which thou didst imploy Daungers of thankes by tasting approbation Of spotlesse friendship with our willing nation We are not subtile French to fawne and flatter Nor Spaniards hot in shew yet cold in matter Trothlesse Italian fleeting Irish wiles Whose trust when most protesting most beguiles We deeme dishonour Germaine policies Or euer changing Indian sopperies We spurne Know we are English hating wrongs Bearing our thoughts decipher'd in our tongs Rather the sunne may in his courses alter Then we in true-meant trust our promise faulter Which of our chiefest emulating foes Can iustly taxe vs but we euer chose To die with fame then liue with infamy Purchas'd with disesteemed trechery What needs an instance rumor will auow VVe haue our troth ingrauen in our brow Who are in nature false ye free in name Are seruile slaues to feare and fooles to shame VVhat more we are thy friends and thou art our Thy loue is ours and our force thy power Long may this happy thred of faith be wouen And nere haue dissolution but with heauen Fatall and ioyous doth the knot begin Then who doth breake it first commits first sin Lo then great monarch with what words of zeale Thy comming wee imbrace and hopes reueale Of linkt coniunction prest to gratifie That loue which thou with loue dost ratifie Here speakes the clamour of a publicke voyce Which speaking all do publikely reioyce Thy safe arriuall England thankes the honour Which by thy presence thou bestowest vpon her Sounding lowd Ecchoes of thy Kingly fame And making trophees to adorne thy name The Clarions breath thy welcome Bells do ring Praise shoutes whiles all thy friends thus sweetly sing The applause Song for the King of Denmarkes arriuall IN the most happy season of the yeare When fayrest sun-shine glistered on the earth The royall King of Denmarke did appeare And tun'd the hearts of England full with mirth In goodly maiesty and princely cheere Euen in the fullest crop of haruest's birth When birdes with pleasant notes did sweetly sing To giue a hearty welcome to the King Prettily prettily With musick sweet Did Philomele merily and ioyfully and euer prettily The noble King of Denmarke greet Welcome to England Prince of high degree And all our song shall euer welcome be Our King himselfe reioyced in his sight His presence to the Court did breed delight Blithe was the country and the Citty proud Cornets with trumpets shrill did blow and lowd To welcome to our land With hearty greeting By our Kings command The Monarches meeting Which we fulfilling With loue and mindes willing Ioyn'd together Welcome hither Friendly and euer kindly The Danish King a Prince of high degree For all our song shall euer welcome bee To welcome all our notes and loue doth tend In that sence we began with that we end Cantibus carmine FINIS
