And like a suitor thus begins to woo him 103. Loue to my selfe then is my selfe more deare The heauens Protector and the Gods defender To whom Ioue owes those bolts make Mortals feare Who to my selfe thy Loue didst euer tender To whom I owe for kindnes done at Troy And for the Armes thou made my warlike Boy 104. Yet ere I pay my louing Vulcane know I am constraind to sue to thee for more Thou 'lt not denie thy wife and Goddesse now Thou neuer didst deny me ought before It 's not for martiall Armes sweet hart I sue W'haue done with those wee 'l hence bid wars adue 105. Indeed I once was forc't for that to woo But not so now And it 's for my selfe beside Nay and a thing befits thy Venus too I must not nay I will no be deni'd For if you do indeed I le hang the lip And neuer with thee more to meadows trip 106. Sweet thus it is I heare by heauens designe A royall Nuptiall shortly like to bee Twixt Frederick the Palatine of Rhine Aud faire Eliza of great Brittanie And how King Iames bestirs him euery way To make great Triumphs gainst the wedding day 107. Londons great Thames they all in hast prepare Where ore they build Briggs Chaines and Fabricates Of Art which well with Pallas may compare To entertaine these high imperiall States Where they in honour of this day desire To shew on waters powers of subtile fire 108. VVherefore Sweet Chuck for my sake ready be To help these fire-workes do a maisters part Thou art the God of fire then ouersee And teach the English thine Ignean Art I would not for the world that Art should misse For want of Thee and then she gaue a kisse 109. Now as the waxen Torch no sooner feeles The scorching heat of Lemnius fire approaching But straight's on low euen so this Suitor steeles Her Lemman Vulcan with alures incroaching He bristles vp and turning white o' th eye He thus to Venus gins to make reply 110 Sweet Duck what need you to entreat me so You may command and I must needs obey You know I am yours whether I will or no Faire Venus wil is Vulcans lock and key Besides for this trouble your selfe no more I heard what hand Ioue had in this before 111. Kind mouse and then he knept lo heere 's my hand For thy sake I wil do them what I can I and my forge shall be at their command Or neuer hold me for an honestman As I 'me a God and then againe he knept Turn'd white o' th' eye and so the Clubfoot slept 112. No sooner did this Nuptiall day adproach And Trumpets warne them of this glorious sight But some on foot some horst some in their coach Repare to Thames with all their maine and might Where Barges Oares and Scullers did appeare Aweight for Atlas bigge enough to beare 113. Troopt with his peeres great Brittains King ascends A lofty stately Turret made for view Vith whom Queene Anne Prince Charles Prince Frederick wends With faire Eliza oh that heauenly shew So ritch so graue Maiestick are they gone As if great Ioue ascended to his throane 114. With that lame Vulcan from the lofty Tower Straight falls to worke and gins to stir his stump Where with a peale of ordnance for an hower Giues them faire welcome all with many a thump VVho yet before his thundring fires were showne Makes one good legge God knowes he had but one 115. Next after this the squibs skip vp the ayre Makes cloudes by thousands spread them like a net Such like as when the Titans durst to dare The Gods aboue and they on Phlegra met Such were the flashes cracks and heauens face As when the Gods had Gyants in the chase 116. But no such feare withall the nimble fire Giues eares contentments pleasures to the eye The cunning squibs while they the Heauens aspire Make twenty shapes on house and casements nie They skip they run they fall and keep a quoile VVhile all the Thames was ready for to boile 117. Scarce this was done when by Vulcanian arts A sell fierce fiery Dragon gins to mount VVho with his taile the ayre so swiftly parts As makes a thunder Teeth withouten Count. VVhet gnash and crash his Irish Dart tonguethere Threatens to kill and poyson who comes neere 118. Saint George on horseback with his speare and sheild Confronts the Serpent and with martiall looks Makes towards the Dragon in the airy field And with vndaunted spirit his speare he shook The Dragon in whose scales laid hart and might Prouokes this worthy warriour to the fight 119. Both with like courage and with equall force They first aloofe charge each the other there Saint George being mounted on his warlik horse Assailes the Dragon with his conquering speare The furious Dragon fiercely doth assaile To meet th' encounter with his scale arm'd tayle 120. VVhere he attempts with twining circling rounds To graspe the Warriour and to teare his skin George with his speare preuents those murdering wounds And giues the hurt the Dragon ment to him When mad with ire he makes a horrid yell Spoutes thundring fire earth trembling at the knell 121. Now careles of himselfe not dreading ill The Dragon flies to fight neere hand to hand He feares not death so hee his foe may kill The battell doubtfull for the while doth stand They slice the ayre with blowes on either side Till light and thunders through the Regions ride 122. At last these doubts Saint George the valiant Puts out of doubt and hath the Serpent kild The puissant victor vp the ayre doth vaunt While Earths below with acclamations fild Thus brauely ending this Vulcanian fight Another shew presents it selfe to fight 123. On Thames a steepy mountaine Vulcan founds Where bushes thickets hearbs and flowers appeare VVhereout a kennell of wel-mouthed hounds Do rouze a stately stagge who flies for feare He wheeles imbosts and runs for feare to dye They follow chanting with a heauenly crye 124. At last so hotly they the sttagge pursue They pinch the haunches of the fearefull Deare Aire reboating thunders out a new He striues to scape but still was neare the neere Forcelesse at last seeing no way but death He brayes he weeps he dies and vanisheth 125. Next after this a worke of admiration For Art Deuise Nouelty and Wit Whose true description passeth my relation Is show'n these royall Princes as they sit A seeming Martiall Nauy brauely man'd Fraught with rich spoiles coms sayling t'wards the land 126. Thames grones to beare the burden of the weight Their Oares do make the water seeme to rore Their glittering streamers daze the lookers sight Their drums and trumpets deafe all neere the shore Thus the braue warlick Britans do assayle A Turkish Towre which they attempt to scale 127. The Trumpets sound defiance to the Turke The Turke defies the Britan to his face On either side the soldiers fall to work Turks to sinke ships Britans
