VOX SECVNDA POPVLI OR The Commons gratitude to the most Honorable PHILIP Earle of Pembroke and Mongomery for the great affection which hee alwaies bore unto them By Tho. Herbert My reward is from above Printed in the yeare 1641. To the right honorable Philip Herbert Earle of Pembroke and Montgomery Baron Herbert of Cardife and Shirland Lord Parre and Roos of Kendal Marmion Saint Quintine Lord Warden of the Stanaties in the County of Devon and Cornwall Lord Lievtenant of Kent Cornwall Somerset and Wiltes Lord Chamberlain to his Majestie Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter Chancellor of the Vniversity of Oxford and one of his Majesties most honorable privy Counsel Great SIR THe fancy of my Muse is forc'd to pause If that your Honour do require the cause 'T is this I was not able to expresse In you what is Great Britains happinesse I long was woo'd to write your deserv'd praise And by so doing promis'd was the Bayes Which Caesars Virgil wore but tender yeers To write that subject fill'd my Muse with fears But yet again a Herberts name did move Me for to write and in 't expresse my love Or rather duty to your Honours fame Who as yet did ne're deserve the least blame Which envy would enforce Pardon I crave That is the boon which I alone would have From you great Sir Alas I was too bold For to write that I do know you hold As nothing it is your sole desire To inflame England with a zealous fire THOMAS HERBERT BEfriend me Apollo lend me Orpheus lire T' inchant the eares of men make them admire Take home my Muse unto thy clearest spring And wash her cleane then teach her how to sing Heroick straines for I must dedicate This Poem to a man that scornes curld fate Hee 's true to King and country all will say The clouds of treason ne're eclipst his day Some Angell dropt a quill from out his wing And bad me write whilst he calld Fame to sing O glorious Cl●o wash my muddy braine And teach me write some high aspiring straine such as might make the starry host to wonder And make great Iove forget that he can thunder But I 'me amaz'd and this is all I feare Iove thinks himselfe not safe whilst Pembroke's here Methinks I see how Mars looks pale to see A man in armes more brave more stout than hee And Neptune tell 't his skill upon the main Is more than can b' exprest by my dull straine And Hermes offers him the greatest ods To yeeld him Messenger unto the gods Once Venus view'd him as he walkt to see The Spring adorn'd in her greene livery She strait forgot Adonis and grew coy To her aspiring Mars and calld him Boy Wisht him looke downe upon the fertile earth Who had out-shone bright heaven by his birth Hebe was so orecome with his bright eyes Shee 'd like to have drownd the bright translucent skies Looking on him she stumbled all appalld The place she died with Nectar Galactia calld Nor is it heaven alone admires to see This royall man this brave Epitomie Of all true vertue he is the worlds wonder Mens shouts do clangor in the aire as thunder Have you not seen men holloo forth this straine God save our King and the Lord Chamberlaine Have you not heard them whisper as you goe There goes Lord Pembrook terror to our Foe The King doth hold him deare the reason why None of his race did with a tympanie Of high aspiring treason breake but all Were true by proofe they were authenticall I 'me strooke with wonder I cannot expresse In his brave parts our Kingdomes happinesse I 've seene some meteors glimmer in the sky But after one brave blaze they fall and die Your fixt stars though still keepe their course and stand As Vassals Tendants to great Ioves command To make reply my Muse dares not aspire Hee 's sure to burne that doth but touch the fire Hee 's sure a Foole that strives to pull downe stars I must not speake when any high wheele jars 'T is now Vox Populi that is my Theame Come quicke invention from Pernassus streame Bring Tempe's sweetnesse on thy nimble wing Perfume the bright aire which so loud shall ring At thy returne as did the youths of Troy When they enjoy'd brave Hector Priams joy Touch the earth weeds make them in sweetnesse joyne With the fine planted fragrant Eglantine As thou comest by make thou O Pembrooke laugh We write Encomiums not an Epitaph When thou hast done this then returne againe And Helicon reward thee for thy paine Give me that man that scornes the teeming earth When it 's in labour with abortive birth He equalls the best seconded by none And Golden lines shall garnish his brave tombe The common voyce will alwayes thus expresse In the brave Herbert lies our happinesse Thou art that Hermes Usher to the sunne Thou art his Gardiant when the day is done You are a Plague to Papists friend to those Who to base Antichrist are sworne foes The Pope doth tremble at our Herberts name The Turkes and Soldan heape your spreading fame Let us rejoyce and Iö sing as loud As thunder shot from a divided cloud Our King 's the Sunne within our Horoscope A terrour to the Devill and the Pope Our Nobles are those fixt stars which doe shine In their due place each man in his line Those who have striv'd t' usurpe our great Joves throne My joyes so great to them I cannot mourne Brave Pembrooke hath so fill'd our hearts with joy The Commons cry this is the pride of Troy One that will venture each limbe with his life To keepe the Vulgar from all forraigne strife O what a joyfull thing it was to heare How we not long since lovingly did cheare The Commons hearts when Justice they did crave He pawnd his Honour Justice they should have Which to the Commons did give such content As that their prayers quicke to heaven they sent That more such Peeres in England he would send So should all Taxes cease and Schismes end Another said had Wentworth beene like him He had not fear'd in bloody streames to swim Or if that Fiend a third man he did say Each man his verdict of him did bring in Not our convicting him of Traitors sin His vertues all admired singing againe Long live our King Charles and his Lord Chamberlane Long live our King crowne him with such Peers That hee may reigne most joyfull many yeers Your true hacht Eagle will not prey on flies Nor good men blot themselves with treacheries Vertue shall live but Infamie kills dead Each sprouting fortune in her maidenhead You that are stain'd with treasons inky blot And envy those men which as you are not Looke on our subject Envy will grow milde To hate this man none sure can be so vilde Shall the whole kingdome ring a peale of praise Vnto your Honour and shall not I raise My Ela straine and stretch my throat to sing Out-caroll all our birds i' th pleasant spring But O! one vertue here among the rest I have observ'd deserves the terme of best Your Honors humble daigning to give eare Vnto the abjectst vassall that comes neere Your Honor but pray pardon my dull pen That I should formost of an host of men Vncase my rustick Muse which bawles so loud As if begot of Ixion in a clowd Your vertues do deserve a Virgils straine An Ovids verse and not a home-spun braine The splendor of your vertues dim the skies Which I can't looke on with a Buzzards eyes Your Sailes spred high with greatest fortunes flow Excuse my gazing up standing below The Commons voice runs thus of you I see The abstract of vertue and Epitomee Of all Morality He is the man That gaines the hearts of all do what all can Methinks 't is non-sence to gainsay the right Or to deny the Sun-beame gives cleare light Vox Populi doth speake we all agree Our best estates owe Chamberlaine a Fee Which must be payd with love for he loves all Which loyall are Desert daserves no fall O! had my Muse been eloquent to raise A phansie which might elevate the praise Of his scarse paraleld vertue surely then Writing his worth I had got praise of men But O my wits were dull I wanted straine Calliope slept she was not in the vaine For to assist me Yee Commons me excuse If height of your good wishes I abuse My wits were dull but yet to after-age His merits shall be shewne upon the stage FINIS
