of all malignity ●o tender good so that yee ill implie ●o treade on Pride but with a greater pride When where no ill but in ill thoughts is tri'd To speake well is a charity diuine The rest retaine the poyson serpentine Vnder their lips that sacred liues condemne And wee may worthily apply to them This tragicke execration perish hee That si●ts too far humane infirmity But as your cupping glasses still exhale The humour that is euer worst of all In all the flesh So these spic't conscienc't men The worst of things explore still and retaine Or rather as in certaine Cities were Some ports through which all rites piaculare All Executed men all filth were brought Of all things chast or pure or sacred nought Entring or issuing there so curious men Nought manly elegant or not vncleane Embrace or bray out Acts of staine are still Their Syrens and their Muses Any ill Is to their appetites their supreme good And sweeter then their necessary food All men almost in all things they apply The By the Maine make and the Maine the By. Thus this sweete Ladies sad exposure was Of all these moodes in men the only glasse But now the man that next to Ioue comptrold The triple world got with a shoure of gold Armed with Medusa's head and Enyos eye The Adamantine sword of Mercury The helme of Pluto and Minerua's Mirror That from the Gorgus made his passe with Terror Came to the rescue of this enuied mayd Drew neere and first in admiration stay'd That for the common ill of all the land She the particular obloquie should stand And that a beauty no lesse then diuine Should men and women finde so serpentine As but to thinke her any such euent Much lesse that eies and hands should giue consent To such a danger and to such a death But though the whole Realme laboured vnderneath So foule an error yet since Ioue and he Tendred her beauty and integretie In spight of all the more he set vp spirit To doe her right the more all wrong'd her merit He that both vertue had and beauty too Equall with her to both knew what to doe The Ruthles still go laught at to the Graue Those that no good will doe no goodnesse haue The minde a spirit is and cal'd the glasse In which we see God and corporeall grace The mirror is in which we see the minde Amongst the fairest women you could finde Then Perseus none more faire mongst worthiest men No one more manly This the glasse is then To shew where our complexion is combinde A womans beauty and a manly minde Such was the halfe-diuine-borne Troian Terror Where both Sex graces met as in their Mirror Perseus of Loues owne forme those fiue parts had Which some giue man that is the loueliest made Or rather that is loueliest enclin'd And beares with shape the beauty of the mind Young was he yet not youthfull since mid-yeeres The golden meane holds in mens loues and feares Aptly composde and soft or delicate Flexible or tender calme or temperate Of these fiue three make most exactly knowne The Bodies temperate complexion The other two the order doe expresse The measure and whole Trim of comelinesse A temperate corporature learn'd Nature saith A smooth a soft a solid flesh bewrayeth Which state of body shewes th' affections State In all the humours to be moderate For which cause soft or delicate they call Our conquering Perseus and but yong withall Since time or yeeres in men too much reuolu'd The subtiler parts of humour being resolu'd More thicke parts rest of fire and aire the want Makes earth and water more predominant Flexible they calde him since his quicke conceit And pliant disposition at the height Tooke each occasion and to Acts approu'd As soone as he was full inform'd he mou'd Not flexible as of inconstant state Nor soft as if too much effeminate For these to a complexion moderate Which we before affirme in him imply A most vnequall contrariety Composure fit for Ioues sonne Perseus had And to his forme his mind fit answere made As to be lou'd the fairest fittest are To loue so to most apt are the most faire Light like it self tran●parent bodies makes At ones act th' other ioint impression takes Perseus as if transparent at first sight Was shot quite thorough with her beauties light Beauty breedes loue loue consummates a man For loue being true and Eleutherean No Iniurie nor con●●●elie beares That his beloued eyther feeles or feares All good-wils enterchange it doth conclude And mans whole summe holds which is gratitude No wisdome noblesse force of armes nor lawes Without loue wins man his compleat applause Loue makes him valiant past all else desires For Mars that is of all heau'ns erring fires Most full of fortitude since he inspires Men with most valour Cytheraea tames For when in heau'ns blunt Angels shine his flames Or he his second or eight house ascends Of rul'd Natiuities and then portends Ill to the then-borne Venus in aspect Sextile or Trine doth being conioyn'd correct His most malignitie And when his starre The birth of any gouernes fit for warre The Issue making much to wrath enclin'd And to the ventrous greatnesse of the minde If Venus neere him shine she doth not let His magnanimity but in order set The vice of Anger making Mars more milde And gets the mastry of him in the childe Mars neuer masters her but if she guide She loue inclines and Mars set by her side Her fires more ardent render with his heat So that if he at any birth be set In th' house of Venus Libra or the Bull The then-borne burnes and loues flames feels at full Besides Mars still doth after Venus moue Venus not after Mars because of Loue Boldnesse is hand-maid Loue not so of her For not because men bold affections beare Loues golden nets doth their affects enfold But since men loue they therefore are more bold And made to dare euen Death for their belou'd And finally Loues Fortitude is prou'd Past all most cleerely for this cause alone All things submit to Loue but loue to none Celestials Animals all Corporeall things Wisemen and Strong Slaue-rich and Free-borne Kings Are loues contributories no guifts can buy No threats can loue constraine or terrifie For loue is Free and his Impulsions still Spring from his owne free and ingenious will Not God himselfe would willing loue enforce But did at first decree his liberall course Such is his liberty that all affects All arts and Acts the minde besides directs To some wish't recompence but loue aspires To no possessions but his owne desires As if his wish in his owne sphere did moue And no reward were worthy Loue but Loue. Thus Perseus stood affected in a Time When all loue but of riches was a crime A fancy and a follie And this fact To adde to loues deseruings did detract For t was a Monster and a monstrous thing Whence he should combat out his

nuptiall ring The monster vulgar thought and conquerd gaue The combatant already the foule graue Of their fore-speakings gaping for him stood And cast out fumes as from the Stigian flood Gainst his great enterprise which was so fit For Ioues cheefe Minion that Plebeian wit Could not conceiue it Acts that are too hie For Fames crackt voice resound all Infamie O poore of vnderstanding if there were Of all your Acts one onely that did beare Mans worthie Image euen of all your best Which truth could not discouer to be drest In your owne ends which Truths selfe not compels But couers in your bottoms sinckes and hels Whose opening would abhor the sunne to see So ye stood sure of safe deliuerie Being great with gaine or propagating lust A man might feare your hubbubs and some trust Giue that most false Epiphonem that giues Your voice the praise of gods but view your liues With eyes impartiall and ye may abhorre To censure high acts when your owne taste more Of damned danger Perseus scorn'd to feare The ill of good Acts though hel-mouth gap't there Came to Andromeda sat by and cheerd But she that lou'd through all the death she fear'd At first sight like her Louer for his sake Resolu'd to die ere he should vndertake A combat with a Monster so past man To tame or vanquish though of Ioue he wanne A power past all men els for man should still Aduance his powers to rescue good from ill Where meanes of rescue seru'd and neuer where Ventures of rescue so impossible were That would encrease the danger two for one Expose to Ruine Therefore she alone Would stand the Monsters Fury and the Shame Of those harsh bands for if he ouercame The monstrous world would take the monsters part ●o much the more and say some sorcerouse art Not his pure valour nor his Innocence Preuail'd in her deliuerance her offence Would still the same be counted for whose ill The Land was threatned by the Oracle The poisoned Murmures of the multitude Rise more the more desert or power obtrude Against their most sayd he come I the more Vertue in constant sufferance we adore Nor could death fright him for he dies that loues And so all bitternesse from death remoues He dies that loues because his euery thought Himselfe forgot in his belou'd is wrought If of himselfe his thoughts are not imploy'd Nor in himselfe they are by him enioy'd And since not in himselfe his minde hath Act The mindes act chiefly being of thought compact Who workes not in himselfe himselfe not is For these two are in man ioynt properties To worke and Be for Being can be neuer But Operation is combined euer Nor Operation Being doth exceed Nor workes man where he is not still his deed His being consorting no true Louers minde He in himselfe can therefore euer finde Since in himselfe it workes not if he giues Being from himselfe not in himselfe he liues And he that liues not dead is Truth then said That whosoeuer is in loue is dead If death the Monster brought then he had laid A second life vp in the loued Mayd And had she died his third life Fame decreed Since death is conquer'd in each liuing deed Then came the Monster on who being showne His charmed sheild his halfe he turn'd to stone And through the other with his sword made way Till like a ruin'd Cittie dead he lay Before his loue The Neirids with a shrieke And Syrens fearfull to sustaine the like And euen the ruthlesse and the sencelesse Tide Before his howre ran roring terrifi'd Backe to their strength wonders and monsters both With constant magnanimitie like froth Sodainely vanish smother'd with their prease No wonder lasts but vertue which no lesse We may esteeme since t' is as seldome found Firme sincere and when no vulgar ground Or flourish on it fits the vulgar eye Who viewes it not but as a prodegie Plebeian admiration needes must signe All true-borne Acts or like false fires they shine If Perseus for such warrant had contain'd His high exploit what honour had he gain'd Who would haue set his hand to his designe But in his skorne skorne censures things diuine True worth like truth sits in a groundlesse pit And none but true eyes see the depth of it Perseus had Enyos eye and saw within That grace which out-lookes held a desperate sin He for it selfe with his owne end went on And with his louely rescu'd Paragon Long'd of his Conquest for the latest shocke Dissolu'd her chaines and tooke her from the rocke Now woing for his life that fled to her As hers in him lay Loue did both confer To one in both himselfe in her he found She with her selfe in onely him was crownd While thee I loue sayd he you louing mee In you I finde my selfe thought on by thee And I lost in my selfe by thee neglected In thee recouer'd am by thee affected The same in me you worke miraculous strange Twixt two true Louers is this enterchange For after I haue lost my selfe if I Redeeme my selfe by thee by thee supply I of my selfe haue if by thee I saue My selfe so lost thee more then me I haue And neerer to thee then my selfe I am Since to my selfe no otherwise I came Then by thee being the meane In mutuall loue One onely death and two reuiuals moue For he that loues when he himselfe neglects Dies in himselfe once In her he affects Straight he renewes when she with equall fire Embraceth him as he did her desire Againe he liues too when he surely seeth Himselfe in her made him O blessed death Which two liues follow O Commerce most strange Where who himselfe doth for another change Nor hath himselfe nor ceaseth still to haue O gaine beyond which no desire can craue When two are so made one that either is For one made two and doubled as in this Who one life had one interuenient death Makes him distinctly draw a two fold breath In mutuall Loue the wreake most iust is found When each so kill that each cure others wound But Churlish Homicides must death sustaine For who belou'd not yeelding loue againe And so the life doth from his loue deuide Denies himselfe to be a Homicide For he no lesse a Homicide is held That man to be borne lets then he that kild A man that is borne He is bolder farre That present life reaues but he crueller That to the to-be borne enuies the light And puts their eyes out ere they haue their sight All good things euer we desire to haue And not to haue alone but still to saue All mortall good defectiue is and fraile Vnlesse in place of things on point to faile We daily new beget That things innate May last the languishing we re'create ●n generation re'creation is And from the prosecution of this Man his instinct of generation takes Since generation in continuance makes Mortals similitudes of powers diuine Diuine worth doth in
