THE WHOLE VVORKES OF SAMVEL DANIEL Esquire in Poetrie LONDON Printed by NICHOLAS OKES for SIMON WATERSON and are to be sold at his shoppe in Paules Church-yard at the Signe of the Crowne 1623. TO THE HIGH and most Illustrious Prince CHARLES His Excellence SIR PResents to gods were offered by the hands of graces and why not those of great Princes by those of the Muses To you therefore Great Prince of Honor and Honor of Princes I ioyntly present Poesie and Musicke in the one the seruice of my defunct Brother in the other the duty of my selfe liuing in both the douotion of two Brothers your Highnes humble seruants Your Excellence then who is of such recommendable fame with all Nations for the curiosity of your rare Spirit to vnderstand and ability of Knowledge to iudge of all things I humbly inuite leauing the Songs of his Muse who liuing so sweetly chanted the glory of your High Name Sacred is the fame of Poets Sacred the name of Princes To which Humbly bowes and vowes Himselfe euer your Highnesse Seruant Iohn Daniel TO THE RIGHT NOBLE Lady the Lady Marie Countesse Dowager of Pembrooke MADAME THis Poëm of our last Ciuile Warres of England whereof the many Editions shewe what kinde of intertainement it hath had with the world I haue now againe sent-forth with the addition of two bookes the one continuing the course of the Historie the other making-vp a part which for haste was left vnfurnisht in the former Impressions And hauing nothing else to doo with my life but to worke whil'st I haue it I held it my part to adorne the best I could this Prouince Nature hath allotted to my Charge and which I desire to leaue after my death in the best forme I may seeing I can erect no other pillars to sustaine my memorie but my lines nor otherwise pay my debts and the recknings of my gratitude to their honour who haue donne me good and furthered this Worke. And whereas this Argument was long since vndertaken in a time which was not so well secur'd of the future as God be blessed now it is with a purpose to shewe the deformities of Ciuile Dissension and the miserable euents of Rebellions Conspiracies and bloudy Reuengements which followed as in a circle vpon that breach of the due course of Succession by the Vsurpation of Hen. 4 and thereby to make the blessings of Peace and the happinesse of an established Gouernment in a direct Line the better to appeare I trust I shall doo a gratefull worke to my Countrie to continue the same vnto the glorious Vnion of Hen. 7 from whence is descended our present Happinesse In which worke I haue carefully followed that truth which is deliuered in the Historie without adding to or subtracting from the general receiu'd opinion of things as we finde them in our common Annalles holding it an impietie to violate that publike Testimonie we haue without more euident proofe or to introduce fictions of our owne imagination in things of this nature Famae rerum standum est Though I knowe in these publike actions there are euer popular bruites and opinions which run according to the time the biass of mens affections and it is the part of an Historian to recite them not to rule thē especially otherwise then the circumstances may induce according to that modest saying Nec affirmare sustinco de quibus dubito nec subducere quae accepi I haue onely vsed that poeticall licence of framing speaches to the persons of men according to their occasions as C. Salustius and T. Liuius though Writers in Prose yet in that kinde Poets haue with diuers other antient and modern Writers done before me Wherein though they haue incroched vpon others rights and vsurpt a part that was not properly theirs yet seeing they hold so iust a proportion with the nature of men and the course of affayres they passe as the partes of the Actor not the Writer and are receiu'd with great approbation And although many of these Images are drawne with the pencil of mine owne conceiuing yet I knowe they are according to the portraiture of Nature and carrie a resemblance to the life of Action and their complexions whom they represent For I see Ambition Faction and Affections speake euer one Language weare like colours though in seuerall fashions feed and are fed with the same nutriments and only vary but in time Man is a creature of the same dimension he was and how great and eminent foeuer hee bee his measure and height is easie to be taken And all these great actions are openly presented on the Stage of the World where there are euer Spectators who will iudge and censure how men personate those parts which they are set to perform and so enter them in the Records of Memorie And if I haue erred somewhat in the draught of the young Q. Isabel wife to Ric. 2. in not suting her passions to her yeares I must craue fauour of my credulous Readers and hope the young Ladies of England who peraduenture will thinke themselues of age sufficient at 14 yeares to haue a feeling of their owne estates will excuse me in that point For the rest setting-aside those ornaments proper to this kinde of Writing I haue faithfully obserued the Historie Wherein such as loue this Harmony of words may finde that a Subiect of the greatest grauitie will be aptly exprest howsoeuer others seeing in what sort Verse hath beene idly abused hold it but as a language fitting Lightnes and Vanitie For mine owne part I am not so far in love with this forme of Writing nor haue I sworne Fealtie onely to Ryme but that I may serue in any other state of Inuention with what weapon of vtterance I will and so it may make good my minde I care not For I see Iudgement and Discretion with whatsoeuer is worthy carry their owne Ornaments and are grac't with their owne beauties be they apparayled in what fashion they will And because I finde the common tongue of the world is Prose I purpose in that kinde to write the Historie of England from the Conquest being incouraged thereunto by many noble worthy Spirits Although Madame I must not neglect to prosecute the other part of this Worke being thus reuiued by your Goodnes to whome and to whose Noble Family I hold my selfe euer bound and will labour to doo you all the honor and service I can SAM DANYEL THE FIRST BOOKE THE ARGVMENT What times fore-goe Richard the seconds Raigne The fatall causes of this ciuile VVarre His Vneles pride his greedy Minions gaine Glosters reuolt and death deliuered are Herford accus'd exil'd call'd back againe Pretendes t' amend what others Rule did morre The King from Ireland hastes but did no good VVhil'st strange prodigious signes fore-token blood 1 I Sing the ciuill Warres tumultuous Broyles And bloody factions of a mightie Land Whose people hautie proud with forraine spoyles Vpon themselues turn-backe their conquering hand

Where you would bee with hauing which you sought Through all these hazards of distresse a King Of your owne making and establishing 94 And now my Lord I trust you will sit downe And rest you after all this passed thrall And be your selfe a Prince within your owne Without aduent'ring any more at all Your state in others Bottomes hauing knowne The dangers that on mighty Actors fall Since in the foot of your accompts your gaynes Come-short to make-euen reck'ning with your paines 95 Inioy now what you wrought-for in this sort If great-mens Endes be to enioy their Endes And knowe the happiest powre the greatest port It onely that which on it selfe depends Heere haue you State inough to be a Cort Vnto your selfe here where the world attends On you not you on it obserued sole You else-where but a part are heere the whole 96 Th' aduantages of Princes are we see But things conceiu'd imaginarily For euery state of fortune in degree Some image hath of principalitie Which they inioy more naturall and free Then can great Powers chain'd with observancie And with the fetters of respect still ty'd Being easier far to follow then to guide 97 And what are Corts but Camps of misery That doo besiege mens slates and still are prest T' assaile prevent complot and fortifie In hope t' attaine in feare to be supprest Where all with shewes and with apparancie Men seeme as if for stratagems addrest Where Fortune as the Woolfe doth still prefer The fowlest of the traine that followes her 98 And where fayre hopes are lay'd as ambushments To intercept your life and to betray Your liberty to such intanglements As you shal neuer-more get cleare away Where both th' ingagement of your owne intents And others recknings and accounts shall lay Such waights vpon you as you shal not part Vnlesse you breake your credit or your heart 99 Besides as exiles euer from your homes You liue perpetuall in disturbancy Contending thrusting shuffling for your roome Of ease or honor with impatiency Building your fortunes vpon others tombes For other then your owne posterity You see Corts few aduance many vndoo And those they do aduance they ruine too 100 And therefore now my Lord since you are heere Where you may haue your rest with dignitie Worke that you may continue so and cleare Your selfe from out these streights of misery Hold your estate and life as things more deare Then to be throwne at an vncertainty T is time that you and England haue a calme And time the Oliue stood aboue the Palme 101 Thus the good Father with an humble thought Bred in a Cellularie lowe retyre According to his quiet humor sought T'auert him from his turbulent desire When the great Earle began Father I note What you with zeale aduise with loue require And I must thanke you for this care you haue And for those good aduertisements you gaue 102 And truely Father could I but get free Without being rent and hold my dignitie That Sheep-cot which in yonder vale you see Beset with Groues and those sweet Springs hard-by I rather would my Palace wish to bee Then any roofe of proudest Maiestie But that I cannot dooe I haue my part And I must liue in one house with my hart 103 I knowe that I am fixt vnto a Sphere That is ordayn'd to moue It is the place My fate appoints me and the region where I must what-euer happens there imbrace Disturbance trauaile labor hope and feare Are of that Clime ingendred in that place And action best I see becomes the Best The Starres that haue most glorie haue no rest 104 Besides it were a Cowards part to fly Now from my Holde that haue held out so well It be'ing the Station of my life where I Am set to serue and stand as Sentinell And must of force make good the place ordy When Fate and Fortune those great States compell And then we Lords in such case euer are As peace can cut our throats as well as war 105 And hath her griefes and her incombrances And doth with idle rest deforme vs more Then any Magha can or sorceresse With basely wasting all the Martiall store Of heat and spirit which graceth Manlinesse And makes vs still false images adore Besides profusion of our faculties In grosse dull glutt'ny vap'rous gourmandise 106 And therefore since I am the man I am I must not giue a foote least I giue all Nor is this Bird within my breast so tame As to be fed at hand and mockt with-all I rather would my state were out of frame Then my renowne should come to get a fall No no th' vngratefull boy shall neuer think That I who him inlarg'd to powre will shrink 107 What is our life without our dignitie Which oft we see comes lesse by liuing long Who euer was there worth the memorie And eminent indeed but still dy'd young As if worth had agreed with destinie That time which rightes them should not doo thē wrong Besides Old-age doth giue by too long space Our soules as many wrinkles as our face 108 And as for my inheritance and state What euer happen I wil so prouide That Law shall with what strength it hath collate The same on mine and those to mine ally'd Although I knowe she serues a present State And can vndoo againe what shee hath ty'd But that we leaue to him who poynts-out heyres And howsoeuer yet the world is theirs 109 Where they must worke it out as borne to run Those Fortunes which as mightie Families As euer they could be before haue donne Nor shall they gaine by mine indignities Who may without my courses be vndonne And who-so makes his State and life his tyes To doo vnworthily is borne a slaue And let him with that brand go to his Graue 110 Here would the reuerent Father haue reply'd That it were far more Magnanimitie T' indure then to resist that we are ty'd As well to beare the inconueniencie And straynes of Kings and States as to abide Vntimely raynes tempests sterilitie And other ills of Nature that befall Which we of force must be content withall 111 But that a speedy messenger was sent To shewe the D. of Clarence was hard-by And thereupon VVarwicke breakes-off and went With all his traine attending formally To intertaine him with fit complement As glad of such an opportunitie To worke vpon for those high purpose He had conceiv'd in discontentednes The ende of the eightth Booke Which
