BIEN VENV GREATE BRITAINES WELCOME TO HIR GREATE FRIENDES AND DEERE BRETHREN THE DANES When Loue is well express in Worde and Deede T'wixt Friendes it showes they are right well agreed Imprinted at London for Nathaniel Butter and are to be solde at his shoppe neere Saint Austens gate 1606. To the right noble Lord Philip Herbert Earle of Mountgomerie Baron of Shurland and the right worshipfull Sir Iames Haies Knight TO you Faire Hands Hands of my dreadest Lord Wherewith He feeds himself with sweet delight To You my Rimes runne of their owne accord Sith in your Hands remaines some hidden might That Like the Load-stoane drawes as with a Cord Myne Iron Numbers to your Lilly White They to the North-point point O then affoorde To take them to It for aye me my sight Cannot behold Light louingly abhor'd Sith for mine Eyes such Sunne-Beames are too bright Yet lest at my presumption Scorne should boorde Detaine them if you please to do me right But if when you haue waide them weight they be Or giue or take them all is one to me The euer honorer of your most honorable virtues IOHN DAVIES of Hereford BIEN VENV Great Britaines welcome to her great friends and deare Brethren the Danes YE Angels which in Soule inchaunting Quires Do celebrate your Soueraignes holy praise Who ever burne in loues refyning fires Cōcords Tones to highest Thrones do raise Descend by Swarmes on wings of Loues desires Discords to drowne with Loues harmonious Layes And ope Heauens Casements wherthrough fly ye do Right ore the place where one King lyues in two And were yee ignorant where that should be But ope those wind-dores and yee soone should know For to the Heauens the fame thereof doth flee From now great Britaine highest Heauen below There shall yee finde two great Kings so agree As if the one the others Heart did owe Sith Loues great Lord and yours doth ioy in this His ioy to you his Guard is highest blisse Then come Celestiall Soldiers make a Ring About the Kings wherein your King doth ioy A twofold Guard make for this twofold King Of Men and Angels from what would anoy Let Enuie in your Targets leaue hir Sting That she may not anoy much lesse destroy And whatsoere impugnes their peacefull plight On your resistance let their rancour light Britaine thou once didst stretch thy conquering Armes Where ere the fower Seas with thy wings do warre And though through hurts receiu'd in hot Alarmes As maim'd thou couldst not reach scarse halfe so farre Yet now thou hast recouered thy harmes Thine Armes those Seas embrace but cannot barre For had'st thou will as thou hast power obtaind By Sea nor Land thine Armes could be containd The rather sith a King so gracefully great Graced by Greatnesse as he It doth grace Is one with ours to make ours more compleat As ours with Him makes Him in better case What forraine Pow'r to shunne their Anger 's heat Will not speake coldly with a fawning face Whose Armes together ioynd can compasse all That stands betweene the great Turke and his fall Denmarke exult sith what thou hadst thou hast Thou didst of yore thou wotst command this Land That now againe is present which is past In Loue thou maist the Land inlargd command For it to thee is So vnited fast That one to other cannot choose but stand Withstand you whoso will you both as one Must stand or fall by force of Vnion O VNION that enclaspest in thyne armes All that in Heau'n and Earth is great or good Thou Heau'nly Harbour from all earthly harmes Thou Damm that staist the Streams of humane bloud What humane Heart but maugre Hatreds Charms Will not desire thee as the Angells food Sith through thy powr thou makst mans powr so strōg As not to offer much lesse suffer wrong Thou Isle which Thetis in hir lap doth lull And with Indulgence makes thee wantonize Now maist thou feathers from thy Peacocks pull To set thee out in eie-attracting wise Triumph with ioy for now if thou be dull The world as base will iustly thee despise Sith neere thy Forehead stand two Kings of pow'r To smooth it maugre all that makes it low'r Arches tryumphall to the Heauens erect Whereunder threefold-Maiestie may passe Whose beames on It true Eyes may so reflect As do the Sunnes from clearest christall glasse Let all thy st●eetes with Obiectes deere bee deckt To show thy State is more then ere it was For in no moderne memorie hath beene Two such great Kings in thee together seene O could Canutus that victorious Dane That whilome did thy great State Signiorize Whose sword through men to thy Crowne made a lane Now see his Ofspring in thy Paradise Ador'd of all thine holy or prophane He would bee readie to forsake the skyes And come with heauenly glorie to augment Great Britaines glorie worlds great wonderment Yee noble Blouds to Honours Taske assign'd Let now your mounting Spirits make you mount Such Pegasses as may out-fly the winde And shiuer Staues at Tilt beyond your wont That Times to come in Poets Staues may finde Yee did great Arthurs Minions farre surmount Proclame a Chalenge through the world to make Your valours knowne for Kingly honors sake Yee read of many Chalenges proclaim'd By Keysors past that present Time admires And how the Victors haue their Daughters claim'd As the proposed Prizes by their Sires Out-run those Runners sith their fame is maim'd That runne but through effeminate desires Runne yee for glorie and your Soueraignes grace So shall your fames runne farre beyond your Race If Pompe to Prowesse ere were kindly knit Now to your Prowesse add ye pompe sans pride And to your pompe the richest show of wit For oft such showes do showes more simple hide And to the Showers glorie gaine by it That els perhaps in gold might not be eyde As Heauen hath Starres her face to beautifie So be you Starres to make Earths Heauenly And like the Starres opposed and dispos'd Produce ye wonders mankinde to amaze Let Denmarke see great Brittaine with her clos'd Makes the World stand in wonderment at gaze Sith of their Mould it sees halfe-Gods compos'd That doe the memorie of others raze The manner of your motions fetch from thence From whence the Starres deriue their influence So shall they be all glorious like the Sunne That runnes oblikelie to the Heauens Race So though your deeds for Pompe and praise be donne It is dispenc't with by the Heauenly grace Sith Princes they alow a Race to runne As may with pompe deuide them from the Base The Time and Place and Persons may be such That Pompe may show her All yet not too much For Charge is measur'd by Hability Not by the Cost what ere the Charges are Showes most maiestick fit most Maiestie Which is in Earth where Kings as one appeare Vniting so their Raies of Roialty Which needs must make it great as it is rare Then spare no Cost sith Gold
