rank of fops thy praise advance To whom by instinct all thy stuff is dear Their loud claps eccho to the Theatre From breaths of Fools thy commendation spreads Fame sings thy praise with mouths of Loggerheads With noise and laughing each thy Fustian Greets 'T is clapt by Quires of empty headed Cits Who have their Tribute sent and Homage given As men in whispers send loud noise to Heaven Thus I have daubed him with his own Puddle And now we are come from Aboard his Dancing Masquing Rebounding Breathing Fleet and as if we had landed at Gotham we meet nothing but Fools and non-sense Sayes the King Wellcome true owner of the fame you bring A Conqueror is a Guardian to a King Conquest and Monarchy consistent are 'T is Victory secures the Crowns we wear An ingenious Speech every Line in it rises and is more foolish than other Wellcome true Owner As if a Man could be a false Owner or have a wrong right to a thing A Conquerour is a Guardian to a King Poor King the Poet makes thee here confess thy self fit to be beg'd for a Fool and so chuse thy Cousin Mulyhamet for thy Guardian But perhaps the Poet has a deeper search in Politiques and would imply that that King who trusts a Subject to Conquer for him makes himself the Conquerours ward and deserves to be beg'd But I doubt both Poet and King are too much Fool to have so wise a meaning The former therefore must be the Poets design and as if he had brought the King before a Court to be tryed whether he could count five tie a Knot and was fit to be beg'd or no he makes him say Conquest and Monarchy consistent are A wise Apothegme implying it is possible for a Monarch to Conquer or a Conquerour to be or to serve a Monarch And the sense rises well too from the former Line In the former he had said a Conquerour is a Kings Guardian or protects a King and here he says he is consistent with a King that is he is a brave fellow and 't is possible for him to be an honest fellow Just as if he had been askt how many are the Five Vowels and he had answered almost five Poor King thou art beg'd there is no saving thy Estate but perhaps the Poet thinks he helps him in the next Line 'T is Victory secures those Crowns we wear Not at all this Line is as silly as any of the rest 'T is Victory secures That is whilst we Conquer we shall not be Conquered and whilst we Conquer we are safe As if he had been asked which was safer to beat or to be beaten and he answers 't is as safe a thing to beat as to be beaten Now let us take the whole Speech together Wellcome Oh! thou owner of thy own Things Conquerour is a brave fellow and guards his King and 't is possible for him to be an honest fellow and for his King and him to agree and whilst we beat others others will not beat us and so we are safer than if we had been beaten Mulyhamet though a Conquerour is Humble and Civil a●d to comply with the Kings weakness answers in the same kind of non-sense cunningly I suppose to gain upon him and make him proceed in chusing him his Guardian which yet was his right as being his near Cousin and they have the same Laws you know at Morocco as we have My actions all are on your name enroll'd What it is to Enroll upon Parchment I know but not upon Names Strange kinds of Records they keep in Morocco With burning Ships made Beacons on the Sea He fired Beacons after the Victory Whose very looks so much your foes surprize That you like Beauty Conquer with your Eyes Here he gives Eyes to a Notion Beauty is a thing consists in Harmony features and proportion and to say the Eyes of Beauty is to say the Eyes of Harmony or the Eyes of Proportion that is the Eyes of Tallness and Streightness or the Eyes of evenness and the Eyes of Features that is the Eyes of ones Nose or of ones Mouth But perhaps he means you like a Beauty Conquer c. and then it is an Heroick Epithete to call a Generall a Beauty and tell him he Conquer'd with his Eyes like a pretty Wench No Madam War has taught my hands to aim As in the former Speech he gave Eyes to the Nose so here he makes Hands to aim in another place he makes 'em give a blast Blasted with the hand of Heaven Where me thinks he is very unkind to his Friend Breath to give to Hands what was its proper right I do command you love where I admire Mulyhamet is now absolutely chose Guardian and mighty fond his Ward is of him Though Mariamne's love appear'd before The highest happiness fate had in store Yet when I view it as an Offering Made by the hand of an obliging King It takes new charms looks brighter lends new heat No Objects are so glorious or so great But what may still a greater form put on As Optique Glasses magnifie the Sun Mulyhamet by this Speech seems to be a kind of jeering Companion under pretence of complementing the King and his Sister he abuses them both The King he calls by craft a pittifull Optique Glass a thing to see through and he tells Mariamne that her love seen through that Optique Glass called a King seems to be a greater happiness than it is indeed And that this is the sense of his words the following Lines plainly prove No Objects are so glorious or so great But what may still a greater forme put on As Optique Glasses magnifie the Sun That is though Mariamne's love be the most glorious thing in the World yet there is no Object so great or glorious but what may put on a greater form than it hath as the Sun does by the help of an Optique or Magnifying Glass By this he affirms too that an Optique Glass makes the Sun look bigger than ●t is No other tollerable sense can be made of this Speech for it would be most ridiculous to say no Objects are so great but what may appear almost as great as they are that would be as much as to say no Objects are so great but what may appear pretty great as if it were wonder for great Objects to appear great I wonder what should appear great but great Objects The wonder is that no Object is so great but may seem greater than it is by the help of Art and saying this he speaks sense but then his allusion abuses Mariamne as I said before and affirms an Optique Glass makes the Sun look bigger than it is Such blundring does the Poet make when he endeavours never so little to flie Your Subjects wait with eager Ioys to pay Their Tribute to your Coronation day Tributary Subjects again But the King is beg'd and so they only give him Tribute I suppose he means a small allowance to
