AN Hymen●●an Essay OR An EPITHALAMY UPON THE ROYALL MATCH OF HIS most Excellent Majesty CHARLES the Second with the most Illustrious KATHARINE Infanta of PORTVGALL 1662. By J. D. Printed in the Yeare M.DC.LXII VPON THE ROYALL MATCH OF HIS most Excell●nt Majesty CHARLES the Second with the most illustrious CATHARINE Infanta of Portugall THe Bride-God lately met the Powe'rs of Love Venus and Cupid as they loosly rove About Iberian Provinces his breast With indignation justly was possest When thus the soft ones did he sternly greet Now must I vent since we so seldome meet Shall you still act without me here in Spain And to no purpose longer me detain Where I am nothing no more honour have Then Africk Negro or poor Indian Slave True you raign like your selves and have so common Not only worship both of Man and Woman But they themselves your Sarifices come Willing nay willfull in an hecatombe Upon your downy Altars most expire Where first they kindled in their own base fire In Taurica Diana was content With a few Strangers by hard Fortune sent But you have willing victims not from far They are your friends and most familiar So let it be and if it might be more Since they can you without my self adore Whom they so slight that if they chance to use me Within a week or two they soon abuse me When maryed Spaniards who no aequall brook Their chiefest servants not their consorts took So leaving you for you leave mee awhile I 'll post for Englands brave Vxorious I le Which if your Vncle did not so embrace I would 't were min● as every Womans place Howe're that famous Isle I shall prefer ●f you love distance in diameter To your notorious Cyprus where North-West And you South-east I shall contented rest The Bravest Prince there shall I first attend And shall not lose mine honour nor mine end When all his manly virtues shall combine With his Queenes Graces sweetly Feminine They Virtues in the abstract there will be To my renoun in two Polygamy Besides I know that each inferiour state Will zealously their Princes imitate As Kings get Kings their Loyalty does binde That they contemporary Subjects finde They seise the quarters of the World they plant And cheequer Africk with Inhabitant They send Nobility and Gentry first And valiant Veteranes there to be nurst Whereas your mounted City did compile It self with Rogues for shelter of Asyle These must surmount them then if gen'rous seed Will a more Noble fruit and of spring breed And from the English pedigree may come Another Punick to affright your Rome So in America my honour 's seen Where I can scarce remember to have been By benefit of them no manhood want But double have who conquer and who plant And can I choose but honour then that Nation That honours me thus in their propagation When Cytherea mildely answer'd thus The Peoples crime why doest object to us Against our wills so impiously devout 'T were best for all that thou wert not left out Mine and my Sons design and occupation Is not the Death of men but Procreation Nor do I hinder or thy words refell But will promote the motion lik'd so well Yet pray excuse my presence 't is uncouth For me to Travail from the warmer South Nor can I in those Britains much delight In any sense content with litle night My Son shall bear thee Company for me Take my advice Consider their degree And use them not as vulgars leave then here My Lads your Torches nor your badges bear They need no flames their presence is so bright Your paler fires may burn but shew no light Their Court 's perpetuall Day and 't is all one To make a Candle aemulate the Sun Since armes are odious now pray Cupid use No Archey thy naked self infuse Be thou thy Arrow thus most expedite And shoot thee through their eys yet out of sight When they salute and seal th' agreement then Exchange their Souls where fly to and ag'en Search every closet of them every gate Or door of sense be sure thou penetrate Then live in her so long till incarnation Shall thee invest compleat the generation Of such a body which shall onely move By such a soul as is all purely Love That as thy self this universall Minion May have as universally dominion And Hymen leave thy mantle for the Zealous Without thy Saffron are already jealous Though for the King thou goest it may do harm And give misprising Presbyters alarm Who apt to take occasion will spread From pulpit Essex risen from the dead So they to make the Essex will indeavour Though thou to Essex wert unlucky ever And most unlike thou tender and he brawny Yet they will make thy Mantle orange-tawny No war no threats but mine shall break the peace My wars are peacefull and my labours ease Tell him from me that blushing Roses scratch And femal Monarchs do their honeys watch Love's bitter-sweet the sweeter so and lo A mole in my fair face and fairer so Observe my Laws which never were defence Unto my sex but gentle violence Nor do thy Laws brave Charles forbid be bold Without a witnesse Laws can take no hold See how thy house does as thy houses ly It 's instauration why so late to try O quickly heal thy much impayred Line Make them Immortal too that are Divine The Gods intend it so then Hymen sayd Whom they from dangers desperate convey'd With Queens and Kingdoms and a Royal race Themselves to heav'n return'd to rule in place With such as brave atchievements bravely write Those Heroes for their Labours they requite So thy AEneas did through perils come T' enjoy Lavinia with her Latium The' adventures were alike the diffe'rence is The Poet wrote thy sons th' Historian his Aeneas one mixt colony constrain'd By Charles the Vniverse is best maintain'd By his own men Africk America Shall make him write like Spain c. Which twisted Dragons tayl shall hurl the Nations As Stars the Dragons did i' th' Revelations But tell sayd Venus how they could dispatch Through various obstacles this happy Match The ayry messenger he answerd Fame Blason'd with sound of Trumpet first her Name Through neighbo'uring Kingdoms then did neerer come And in his ear next beat the Royal Drumme With Brasil Stick then took the Rapper there And knockt so loud Charls open'd wide his ear Fame enter'd then her Starry Servant Fame Possess'd his Sense and Soul in Cupids name As Men love Angels which they yet not see So Royall Love's Coelestial Sympathy Still stubbornly allthough collapsed they Obstruct Church-paths and cross the Kings high way Nor will these Stumbling-Blocks e'er better prove them Till Overseers do lift and quite remove them As these themselves both Root and Branch o'rturn'd Let them likewise both Root and Branch be spurn'd Such as are somewhat sound and may be squar'd To edify beyond Sea be prepar'd But dry and rotten Blocks which were such cruel And Kindling Touch-wood to themselves be fuell While them their choler burnt to black consumes And smother'd zeal like stifled charcoal fumes Then not till then when husht is all their Noise Shall Charls ly quiet with his happy Choise Adieu sayd Hymen then we must remove We can no longer talk So I and Love Will take our Voyage leaving dle you And bear another Fairest hence in lieu VVhich in her Empire when she shall be seen Far rather will be deem'd the Cyprian Queen She with her thousand Graces will instill In ev'ry honest breast immense good-will In all good hearts I say but there are such VVhose black malignance Candour cannot touch You and your Three need not for her to act She numerous shee will all that 's good attract She in Conjunction for they both are Stars VVill be much more Benign then You with Mars And cause that they no Peace nor Plenty want VVhen new D●lichium joyns with Troy-novant When Golden Tagus Sylver Thamesis Meet in their wat'ry rendez-vous and kiss So eagerly incorporate as both Would mean some other Venus by their froth Tagus shall doat on Tamesis and burn Enough to try his ore enough to turn His sandy atoms to a masse and send His native present to his noble friend Who shall return by Thousands then his thanks And helpe Protect his amicable Banks So long as he shall from Iberus run Which seeks the Rising he the Setting Sun Those Banks which now our Authors do not feign Swift Mares conceiving Zephyrus sustain And whose swift vital course is but three yeers For these to be his Eastern fleet appears Which in her poop conceives the Western gales And rides triennial liquid hills and dales Well burthen'd with all raritys to greet His Thames and lay them at his silver feet Scorning with mere domestick gifts to woo He ventures far to fetch exotick too True amity where best things common stand Free as his Waters he dispenses Land And says his Nymph shall to their glorious King Both glorious Kings and glorious Kingdoms bring These Youths inform'd me thus and gave this Theme As they come often to me in a dream Wak'd with the solemne noise I fell to pray All might be real that these Angels say That if not peerless she may be no other Then was for Wife and Queen his pious Mother May shee have what 's the Queens he what 's the Kings Enjoy all Honours but of Sufferings VVhilest Wee are blest by both And every Summer Enlarge our Wellcomes to a Royall Comer VVhen first we had him single how amaz'd VVere ardent hearts which as their bonfires blaz'd Yet with him joys are doubled and do thrive Into a jubily superlative But when hee 's trebled with a Royal Boy O! then exceeding joy exceeding joy VVill grow ecstatick VVhen thrice happy VVee Rapt to our third terrestrial Heaven shall bee FINIS
