distemper Enough of that by our sisters heretofore I le come to that which wounds me somewhat more Of learning policy thou wouldst bereave me But 's not thine ignorance shall thus deceive me What greater Clark or Politician lives Then he whose brain a touch my humour gives What is too hot my coldness doth abate What 's diffluent I do consolidate If I be partial judg'd or thought to erre The melancholy shake shall it aver Whose cold dry head more subtilty doth yield Then all the huge beasts of the fertile field· Again thou dost confine me to the spleen As of that only part I were the Queen Let me as well make thy precincts the Gall So prison thee within that bladder small Reduce the man to 's principles then see If I have not more part then all you three What is within without of theirs or thine Yet time and age shall soon declare it mine When death doth seize the man your stock is lost When you poor bankrupts prove then have I most You 'l say here none shall e're disturb my right You high born from that lump then take your flight Then who 's mans friend when life all forsakes His Mother mine him to her womb retakes Thus he is ours his portion is the grave But while he lives I 'le shew what part I have And first the firm dry bones I justly claim The strong foundation of the stately frame Likewise the usefull Slpeen though not the best Yet is a bowel call'd well as the rest The Liver Stomack owe their thanks of right The first it drains of th'last quicks appetite Laughter thô thou say malice flows from hence These two in one cannot have residence But thou most grosly dost mistake to think The Spleen for all you three was made a sink Of all the rest thou 'st nothing there to do But if thou hast that malice is from you Again you often touch my swarthy hue That black is black and I am black t is true But yet more comely far I dare avow Th●n is thy torrid nose or brazen brow But that which shews how high your spight is bent Is charging me to be thy excrement Thy loath●ome imputation I defie So plain a ●●nder needeth no reply When by thy heat thou 'st bak'd thy self to crust And so art call'd black Choler or adust Thou witless think'st that I am thy excretion So mean thou art in Art as in discretion But by your leave I 'le let your greatness see What Officer thou art to us all three The Kitchin Drudge the cleanser of the sinks That casts out all that man e're eats or drinks If any doubt the truth whence this should come Shew them thy passage to th' Duodenum Thy biting quality still irritates Till filth and thee nature exonerates If there thou' rt stopt to th' Liver thou turn'st in And thence with jaundies saffrons all the skin No further time I le spend in confutation I trust I 've clear'd your slanderous imputation I now speak unto all no more to one Pray hear admire and learn instruction My virtues yours surpass without compare The first my constancy that jewel rare Choler 's too rash this golden gift to hold And Sanguine is more fickle manifold Here there her restless thoughts do ever fly Constant in nothing but unconstancy And what Flegme is we know like to her mother Unstable is the one and so the other With me is noble patience also found Impatient Choler loveth not the sound What sanguine is she doth not heed nor care Now up now down transported like the Air Flegme's patient because her nature's tame But I by virtue do acquire the same My Temperance Chastity is eminent But these with you are seldome resident Now could I stain my ruddy Sisters face With deeper red to shew you her dsgrace But rather I with silence vai●e her shame Then cause her blush while I relate the same Nor are ye free from this inormity Although she bear the greatest obloquie My prudence judgement I might now reveal But wisdom 't is my wisdome to conceal Unto diseases not inclin'd as you Nor cold nor hot Ague nor Plurisie Nor Cough nor Quinsey nor the burning Feaver I rarely feel to act his fierce endeavour My sickness in conceit chiefly doth lye What I imagine that 's my malady Chymeraes strange are in my phantasy And things that never were nor shall I see I love not talk Reason lies not in length Nor multitude of words argues our strength I 've done pray sister Flegme proceed in Course We shall expect much sound but little force Flegme Patient I am patient I 'd need to be To bear with the injurious taunts of three Though wit I want and anger I have less Enough o● both my wrongs now to express I 've not forgot how bitter Choler spake Nor how her gaul on me she causeless brake Nor wonder 't was for hatred there 's not small Where opposition is Diametrical To what is Truth I freely will assent Although my Name do suffer detriment What 's slan●erous repell doubtful dispute And when I 've nothing left to say be mute Valour I want no Souldier am 't is true I 'le leave that manly Property to you I love no thundring guns nor bloody wars My polish'd Skin was not ordain'd for Skarrs But though the pitched field I've ever fled At home the Conquerours have conquered Nay I could tell you what 's more true then meet That Kings have laid their Scepters at my feet When Sister sanguine paints my Ivory face The Monarchs bend and sue but for my grace My lilly white when joyned with her red Princes hath slav'd and Captains captived Country with Country Greece with Asia fights Sixty nine Princes all stout Hero Knights Under Troys walls ten years will wear away Rather then loose one beauteous Helena But 't were as vain to prove this truth of mine As at noon day to tell the Sun doth shine Next difference that 'twixt us twain doth lye Who doth possess the brain or thou or I Shame forc'd the say the matter that was mine But the Spirits by which it acts are thine Thou speakest Truth and I can say no less Thy heat doth much I candidly confess Yet without ostentation I may say I do as much for thee another way And though I grant thou art my helper here No debtor I because it 's paid else where With all your flourishes now Sisters three Who is' t that dare or can compare with me My excellencies are so great so many I am confounded fore I speak of any The brain 's the noblest member all allow Its form

their Controversies they 'l decide Ten dayes these Armyes did each other face Mardonius finding victuals wast apace No l●nger dar'd but bravely on set gave The other not a hand nor Sword would wave Ti●l in the ●ntrails of their Sacrifice The signal of their victory did rise Which found like Greeks they fight the Persians fly And troublesome Mardonius now must dye All 's lost and of three hundred thousand men Three thousand only can run home agen For pitty let those few to Xerxes go To certifie his final overthrow Same day the small remainder of his Fleet The Grecians at Mycale in Asia meet And there so utterly they wrackt the same Scarce one was left to carry home the Fame Thus did the Greeks consume destroy disperse That Army which did fright the Universe Scorn'd Xerxes bated for his cruelty Yet ceases not to act his villany His brothers wife solicites to his will The chast and beautious Dame refused still Some years by him in this vain suit was spent Nor prayers nor gifts could win him least content Nor matching of her daughter to his Son But she was still as when he first begun When jealous Queen Amestris of this knew She Harpy like upon the Lady flew Cut off her breasts her lips her nose and ears And leavs her thus besmear'd in bloud and tears Straight comes her Lord and finds his wife thus ly The sorrow of his heart did close his Eye He dying to behold that wounding sight Where he had sometime gaz'd with great delight To see that face where rose and Lillyes stood O'reflown with Torrent of her guiltless bloud To see those breasts where Chastity did dwell Thus cut and mangled by a Hag of Hell With loaden heart unto the King he goes Tells as he could his unexpressed woes But for his deep complaints and showres of tears His brothers recompence was nought but jears The grieved prince finding nor right nor love To Bactria his houshold did remove His brother sent soon after him a crew With him and his most barbarously there slew Unto such height did grow his cruelty Of life no man had least security At last his Uncle did his death conspire And for that end his Eunuch he did hire Who privately him smother'd in his bed But yet by search he was found murthered Then Artabanus hirer of this deed That from suspition he might be fre'd Accus'd Darius X●●xes eldest Son To be the Author of the crime was done And by his craft order'd the matter so That the Prince innocent to death did goe But in short time this wickedness was known For which he died and not he alone But all his Family was likewise slain Such Justice in the Persian Court did reign The eldest son thus immaturely dead The second was inthron'd in 's fathers stead Artaxerxes Longimanus Amongst the Monarchs next this prince had place The best that ever sprung of Cyrus race He first war with revolted Egypt made To whom the perjur'd Grecians lent their aid Although to Xerxes they not long before A league of amity had firmly swore Which had they kept Greece had more nobly done Then when the world they after overrun Greeks and Egyptians both he overthrows And payes them both according as he owes Which done a sumptuous feast makes like a king Where ninescore dayes are spent in banquetting His Princes Nobles and his Captains calls To be partakers of these Festivals His hangings white and green and purple dye With gold and silver beds most gorgeously The royal wine in golden cups did pass To drink more then he list none bidden was Queen Vasthi also feasts but 'fore t is ended She 's from her Royalty alas suspended And one more worthy placed in her room By Memucans advice so was the doom What Esther was and did the story read And how her Country men from spoyle she freed Of Hamans fall and Mordicaes great Rise The might of th' prince the tribute of the Isles Good Ezra in the seventh year of his reign Did for the Jews commission large obtain With gold and silver and what ere they need His bounty did Darius far exceed And Nehemiah in his twentieth year Went to Jerusalem his city dear Rebuilt those walls which long in rubbish lay And o're his opposites still got the day Unto this King Themistocles did fly When under Ostracisme he did lye For such ingratitude did Athens show This valiant Knight whom they so much did owe Such royal bounty from his prince he found That in his loyalty his heart was bound The king not little joyfull of this chance Thinking his Gresian warrs now to advance And for that end great preparation made Fair Attica a third time to invade His grand-Sires old disgrace did vex him sore His Father Xerxes loss and shame much more For punishment their breach of oath did call This noble Greek now fit for General Provisions then and season being fit To Themistocles this warr he doth commit Who for his wrong he could not chuse but deem His Country nor his Friends would much esteem But he all injury had soon forg it And to his native land could bear no hate Nor yet disloyal to his Prince would prove By whom oblig'd by bounty and by love Either to wrong did wound his heart so sore To wrong himself by death he chose before In this sad conflict marching on his wayes Strong poyson took so put an end to 's dayes The King this noble Captain having lost Disperst again his newly levied host Rest of his time in peace he did remain And di'd the two and forti'th of his reign Darius Nothus Three sons great Artaxerxes left behind The eldest to succeed that was his mind His second Brother with him fell at strife Stil making war till first had lost his life Then the Surviver is by Nothus slain Who now sole Monarch doth of all remain The two first sons are by Historians thought By fair Queen Esther to her husband brought If so they were the greater was her moan That for such graceless wre●●hes she did groan Revolting Egypt ' gainst this King rebels His Garisons drives out that ' mongst them dwells Joyns with the Greeks an● so maintain their right For sixty years maugre the Persians might A second trouble after this succeeds Which from remissness in ●●e●s Asi● breeds Amo●ges whom for Vice-Roy he ordain'd Revolts treasure and people having gain'd Plunders the Country much mischief wrought Before things could to quietness be brought The King was glad with Sparta to make peace That so he might those troubles soon appease But they in Asia must first restore All towns held by his Ancestors before The King much profit reaped by this league Regains his own then doth the Rebel break Whose strength by Grecians help was overthrown And so each man again possest his own This King Cambises like his sister wed To which his pride more then his lust him led For Persian Kings then deem'd

the seven a Monarch chosen be All envy to avoid this was thought on Upon a green to meet by rising sun And he whose horse before the rest should neigh Of all the Peers should have precedency They all attend on the appointed hour Praying to fortune for a kingly power Then mounting on their snorting coursers proud Darius lusty Stallion neigh'd full loud The Nobles all alight bow to their King And joyfull acclamations shrill they ring A thousand times long live the King they cry Let Tyranny with dead Cambises dye Then all attend him to his royall room Thanks for all this to 's crafty stable groom Darius Hystaspes Darius by election made a King His title to make strong omits no thing He two of Cyrus daughters then doth wed Two of his Neeces takes to Nuptial bed By which he cuts their hopes for future time That by such steps to Kingdomes often clime And now a King ●y mariage choice and blood Three strings to 's bow the least of which is good Yet firmly more the peoples hearts to bind Made wholsome gentle laws which pleas'd each mind His courtesie and assability Much gain'd the hearts of his nobility Yet notwithstanding all he did so well The Babylonians ' gainst their prince rebell An host he rais'd the city to reduce But men against those walls wore of no use Then brave Zopirus for his masters good His manly face disfigures spares no blood With his own hands cutts off his ears and nose And with a faithfull fraud to th' town he goes tells them how harshly the proud king had dealt That for their sakes his cruelty he felt Desiring of the Prince to raise the siege This violence was done him by his Liege This told for entrance he stood not long For they believ'd his nose more then his tongue With all the city's strength they him betrust If he command obey the greatest must When opportunity he saw was sit Delivers up the town and all in it To loose a nose to win a town 's no shame But who dares venture such a stake for th' game Then thy disgrace thine honour 's manifold Who doth deserve a statue made of gold Nor can Darius in his Monarchy Scarce find enough to thank thy I yalty Yet o're thy glory we must cast this vail Thy craft more then thy valour did prevail Darius in the second of his reign An Edict for the ●ews publish●d again The Temple to rebuild for that did rest Since Cyrus time Cambises did molest He like a King now grants a Charter large Out of his own revennues bears the charge Gives Sacrifices wheat wine oyle and salt Threats punishment to him that through default Shall let the work or keep back any thing Of what is freely granted by the King And on all Kings he poures out Execrations That shall once dare to rase those firm foundations They thus backt by the King in spight of foes Built on and prosper'd till their house they close And in the sixth year of his friendly reign Set up a Temple though a less again Darius on the Scythians ma●e a war Entring that larg and barren Country far A Bridge he made which serv'd for boat barge O're Ister fair with labour and with charge But in that desert ' mongst his barbarous foes Sharp wants not swords his valour did oppose His Army fought with hunger and with cold Which to assail his royal Camp was bold By these alone his host was pincht so sore He warr'd defensive not offensive more The Salvages did laugh at his distress Their min●●s by Hiroglyphicks they express A Frog a Mouse a bird an arrow sent The King will needs interpret their intent Possession of water earth and air But wise Gob●●as reads not half so fair Quoth he like frogs in water we must dive Or like to mice un●er the earth must live Or fly like birds in un●nown wayes full quick Or Scythian arrows in our sides must stick The King seeing his men and victual spent This fruitless war beg place to repent Return'd with little honour and less gain His enemies scarce seen then much less slain He after this intends Greece to invade But troubles in less Asia him staid Which husht he straight so orders his affairs For At●a●a an army he prepares But as before so now with ill success Return'd with wondrous loss and honourless Athens perceiving now their desperate state Arm'd all they could which eleven thousand made By brave Miltiades their chief being l●d Darius multitudes before them fled At Marathon this bloudy field was fought Where Grecians prov'd themselves right souldiers stout Tho Persians to their gallies post with speed Where an Athenian shew'd a valiant deed Pursues his flying foes then on the sand He stayes a lanching gally with his hand Which soon cut off inrag'd he with his left Renews his hold and when of that bereft His whetted teeth he claps in the firm wood Off flyes his head down showres his frolick bloud Go Persians carry home that angry piece As the best Trophe which ye won in Greece Darius light yet heavy home returns And for revenge his heart still restless burnes His Queen Atossa Author of this stirr For Grecian maids 't is said to wait on her She lost her aim her Husband he lost more His men his coyne his honour and his store And the ensuing year ended his Life T is thought through grief of this successless strife Thirty six years this noble Prince did reign Then to his second Son did all remain Xerxes Xerxes Darius and Atossa's Son Grand child to Cyrus now sits on the Throne His eldest brother put beside the place Because this was first born of Cyrus race His Father not so full of lenity As was his Son of pride and cruelty He with his Crown receives a double war The Egyptians to reduce and Greece to marr The first begun and finish'd in such haste None write by whom nor how 't was over past But for the last he made such preparation As if to dust he meant to grinde that nation Yet all his men and Instruments of slaughter Produced but deri●ion and laughter Sage Artabanus Counsel had he taken And 's Couzen young Mardonius forsaken His Souldiers credit wealth at home had staid And Greece such wondrous triumphs ne'r had made The first dehorts and layes before his eyes His Fathers ill success in 's enterprize Against the Scythians and Grecians too What Infamy to 's honour did accrew Flatt'ring Mardonius on the other side With conquest of all Europe feeds his pride Vain Xerxes thinks his counsel hath most wit That his ambitious humour best can fit And by this choice unwarily posts on To present loss future subversion Although be hasted yet four years was spent In great provisions for this great intent His Army of all Nations was compounded That the vast Persian government surrounded His Foot was seventeen hundred thousand strong Eight hundred thousand horses to these

belong His Camels beasts for carriage numberless For Truths asham'd how many to express The charge of all he severally commended To Princes of the Persian bloud descended But the command of these commanders all Unto Mardonius made their General He was the Son of the fore nam'd Gobrius Who married the Sister of Darius Such his land Forces were then next a fleet Of two and twenty thousand Gallies meet Man'd with Phenicians and Pamphylians Cipriots Dorians and Cilicians Lycians Carians and Ionians Eolians and the Helispontines Besides the vessels for his transportation Which to three thousand came by best relation Brave Artemisia Hallicarnassus Queen In person present for his aid was seen Whose Gallyes all the rest in neatness pass Save the Z●donians where Xerxes was But hers she kept still seperate from the rest For to command alone she judg'd was best O noble Queen thy valour I commend But pitty 't was thine aid thou here didst lend At Sardis in Lydia all these do meet Whether rich Pythias comes Xerxes to greet Feasts all this multitude of his own charge Then gives the King a king-like gift full large Three thousand talents of the purest gold Which mighty sum all wondred to behold Then humbly to the king he makes request One of his five sons there might be releas'd To be to 's age a comfort and a stay The other four he freely gave away The king calls for the youth who being brought Cuts him in twain for whom his Sire besought Then laid his parts on both sides of the way 'Twixt which his souldiers marcht in good array For his great love is this thy recompence Is this to do like Xerxes or a Prince Thou shame of kings of men the detestation I Rhetorick want to pour out execration First thing he did that's worthy of recount A Sea passage cut behind Athos mount Next o're the Helespont a bridge he made Of Boats together coupled and there laid But winds and waves those iron bands did break To cross the sea such strength he found too weak Then whips the sea and with a mind most vain He fetters cast therein the same to chain The work-men put to death the bridge that made Because they wanted skill the same t o've staid Seven thousand Gallyes chain●d by Tyrians skill Firmly at last accomplished his will Seven dayes and nights his host without least stay Was marching o're this new devised way Then in Abidus plains mustring his forces He gloryes in his squadrons and his horses Long viewing them thought it great happiness One king so many subjects should possess But yet this sight from him produced tears That none of those could live an hundred years What after did ensue had he foreseen Of so long time his thoughts had never been Of Artubanus he again demands How of this enterprise his thoughts now stands His answ●● was both sea and land he fear'd Which was not vain as after soon appear'd But Xerxes resolute to Thrace goes first His Host all Lissus drinks to quench their thirst And for his Cattel all Pissyrus Lake Was scarce enough for each a draught to take Then marching on to th' streight Thermopyle The Spartan meets him brave Leonade This 'twixt the mountains lyes half Acre wide That pleasant Thessaly from Greece divide Two dayes and nights a fight they there maintain Till twenty thousand Persians fell down ●lain And all that Army then dismaid had fled But that a Fugitive discovered How some might o're the mountains go about And wound the backs of those brave warriors stout They thus behem'd with multitude of Foes Laid on more fiercely their deep mortal blows None cries for quarter nor yet seeks to run But on their ground they die each Mothers Son O noble Greeks how now degenerate Where is the valour of your ancient State When as one thousand could a million daunt Alas it is Leonades you want This shameful victory cost Xerxes dear Among the rest two brothers he lost there And as at Land so he at Sea was crost Four hundred stately Ships by storms was lost Of Vessels small almo●t innumerable The Harbours to contain them was not 〈◊〉 Yet thinking to out match his Foes at S●● Enclos'd their Fleet i' th' streight of Eube●● But they as fortunate at Sea as Land In this streight as the other firmly stand And Xerxes mighty Gallyes battered so That their split sides witness'd his overthrow Then in the streight of Salamis he try'd If that small number his great force could bide But he in daring of his forward Foe Received there a shameful overthrow Twice beaten thus at Sea he warr'd no more But then the P●●cians Country wasted sore They no way able to withstand his force That brave Themistocles takes this wise course In secret manner word to Xerxes sends That Greeks to break his Bridg shortly intends A●d as a friend warns him what e're he do For his Retreat to have an e●e thereto He hearing this his thoughts course home bended Much fearing that which never was intended Yet 'fore he went to help out his expence Part of his Host to Delphos sent from thence To rob the wealthy Temple of Apollo But mischief sacriledge doth ever follow Two mighty Rocks brake from Parnassus hill And many thousands of those men did kill VVhich accident the rest affrighted so VVith empty hands they to their Master go He finding all to tend to his decay Fearing his Bridge no longer there w●uld stay Three hundred thousand yet he left behind VVith his Mardonius Index of his mind Who for his sake he knew would venture farre Chief instigator of this hapless warr He instantly to Athens sends for peace That all Hostility from thence forth cease And that with Xerxes they would be at one So should all favour to their State be shown The Spartans fearing Athens would agree As had Macedon Thebes and Thessaly And leave them out this Shock now to sustain By their Ambassador they thus complain That Xerxes quarrel was ' gainst Athens State And they had helpt them as Confederate If in their need they should forsake their friends Their infamy would last till all things ends But the Athenians this peace detest And thus reply'd unto Mardon's request That whil'st the Sun did run his endless Course Against the Persians they would bend their force Nor could the brave Ambassador he sent With Rhetorick gain better Complement A Macedonian born and great Commander No less then grand-Sire to great Alexa●d●r Mardonius proud hearing this Answer stout To add more to his numbers layes about And of those Greeks which by his Skill he 'd won He fifty thousand joyns unto his own The other Greeks which were Confede●ate In all one hundred and ten thousand made The Athenians could but forty thousand Arme The rest had weapons would do little harm But that which helpt defects and made them bold Was victory by Oracle foretold Then for one battel shortly all provide Where both
