of an honest minde Who hauing truely trod this worldly maze Hath left the wonder for the world to gaze Where Iudgements care doth by description proue Which is the chiefest Earths or Heauens Loue A worke of worth and worthy good Regard The paines well way'd well worthy like Reward N. B. To the Author of the Labyrinth of Mans life WHile vulgar heads are stilling Venus Rose NORDEN thy Lembeck drops the purest balme Thy Nectar to the Pensiue shed in Prose With this thy Mummy mingled for ech qualme Shall giue thee life and dying Loue reuiue While Loue or Life on earth remaines aliue R. J. THE ARGVMENT THe man that in the Cell of silence fits Imports content in his distastfull fits The Labyrinth the worlds inconstancie The passionate Desert doth signifie True vertue doth the Lady represent The hag foule Enuy alwaies malecontent Who what the Ladie frames and rectifies She in despite inchants and vilifies Wherein the Authors purpose is to show Enuies assault And Vertues counterblow How Enuie showes her most obsequious When she would circumuent the Vertuous THE LABYRINTH OF MANS LIFE CAn man opprest though silent rest content Can griefe grow great and can the heart consent Tweene mirth and mourning can true concord be Can fire and flaxe consorted well agree Can seeming grace that is not grace in deed Relieue the heart it wounds and yeelds no meed Hope fed with fawnes is like a withering tree That 's dead at heart yet seemes aliue to be That Hope that hath naught but faire words to feed it Is crush'd by him in show that seemes to breed it Dispaire at helme how can Assurance sayle Assurance tost wits card and compasse fayle What then can bring hopes houering barke to rest That 's forc'd to floate in sea of raging breast Onely sad silence in a secret cell Where onely patience and contentment dwell This Cell is happines to them it finde More precious far then gold vnto the minde By sea and land to finde it some men runne As neere at last as when their race begunne The place the thing the way they seeke amis Fond Fancie knowes not what Contentment is Men run they know not where seeke know not what Finde not Content not to be wondred at For wit nor art nor policie can finde That true content that cures sad griefe of minde Who doth suppresse and bridle Appetite Hath best content if not an hypocrite Appetite implied all affections Mou●d as the heart giues her directions As when the heart is ouer-gorg'd with Lust It vomits forth grosse humors things vniust Anger Reuenge Enuy wrath and Hate Fruits onely growing on the desperate The desperate cannot true patience haue They kill content which they would seeme to craue The daughters of Ioy-priued Acheron Alecto Megera and Tysiphon Hels furies got on darkest shade of night Feede with dispaire their vassals voide of light Depriu'd of light men liue they loue they hate Abhor affect disdaine are passionate Neuer content content in show they grieue Fawning they frowne And seeming dead they liue Seeming aliue are in heart dead in deed They seeme to see and seeing take not heed But grudge to see anothers good content That still as like in good and ill euent Not mou'd to mirth when fawning fortune shines Nor feares her stormes when her fayre faune decline● For in my Cell I found a pylot fit That steres the barke where I contented sit Twixt S●l●a and Caribdis gulfes offeare I safely saile conducted by her steare Oft bearing neare where sweet Sirenes sing Sometimes where furies haue their habiting Sirenes here the furies there me haile Diuinely steer'd twixt both along I saile Yet oft the tempests of sad crosses rage Then take I harbor in port Good courage Casting Hope-anker on soyle sapience Floating secure in hull true sapience Aloofe a little from Cape ficklenes Where oft I heare sad songs of heauines Silent I sate in Cabbin of desire The storme past ouer we hoyse and retire And on the banke desert I did descry One cast ashore through wracke of penury And as we past him by he thus relates The doubtfull Labyrinth of all estates IF th' earth were brasse my tongue a grauing pen I would therein graue fickle states of men That rise and fall that change and alter oft From basest clowne to Keysar set aloft Related words are only winde and dye Letters transferre them to posteritie My subiect sad is mans inconstant lot That is to day what yesterday 't was not No state stands long but riseth or it fals And best resembles tossed tennis bals Now striken hye then lights and then rebounds One now is low then raised then redounds Most strange vicissitudes of states I see Yet not who happy or vnhappy be Though present wealth or want seeme grace or griefe Few know what hurts or truely giues reliefe For as earthes creatures liue by contraries So seeming good or ill are falacies Beginnings good oft end with ill successe Ill seeming ends may bring most happinesse Man of all creatures that subsede the skye Onely partakes none else eternity Guided by Reason hath the vse of Artes Of tongues and of diuinest inward partes None else hath yet so strange varieties Of good and ill of mirth and miseries Who notes how man begins per●ists and endes May see strange chances on which life depends From birth to youth from youth to mans estate He growes vnlike and stil degenerate As yeares encrease so alters life and lust The body mind affection feare and trust Man learnes forgets he loues dislikes and liues As weaknesse power as wit or folly giues The heart the fountaine of the vitall spring Distilles the bloud that nurseth fancying For though mens soules seeme reasonable all All men show not their soules caelestiall As are mens humors and complexions By nature so are inclinations Where art or grace guide not there Nature swayes But where they rule there Natures force decayes Yet Nature hath a power commanding strong Though art or grace haue some command among As Art helpes Nature so experience tries Where in best artes the most perfection lies Hardly can art make straight a crooked mind Nor make him see whom Nature brought foorth blind As fire in flaxe cannot be long conceil'd At length so Nature is though hid reueil'd Mala●●●olly the mother of best artes Hath greatest power grace absent in mens hearts All humors strong or much defectiue breed Both good and bad fruitfull or fruitles seede Mirth greife sloth diligence superbity Feare Enuy Folly sweet tranquillity B'instinct of nature bred and brought to light Do show that humors haue commanding might Some are opinatiue gracious pittifull Enuious louing feeble strong fearefull Sober light foolish wise true false lyers Quarlous deceiuers of vncleane desires Strangely affected all men stand and be As humors haue meane or extreame degree By grace some curbe ill disposition By discipline and education Complexions principall in all but foure Their
