in Deaths confused Shade That no Eie can the one from the other spie But His that saw them ere they Being had On whom alone they all do still rely This is the Picture of Not-beings Pit Where it doth seeme but doth but seeme to sit 138 Sometimes for pride or praise or both some do Bestow a stately Couer on this house For worldly pompe doth presse them thereunto To make the glorified more glorious But Chronus spite that Couer doth vndoe Which cannot brooke the pompe of Thanatus It is but vaine the dead to honour then With other honour then with Tongue or Pen. 139 Hard at the doore of this confused den Sit rau'nous Rauens watching for their pray Which doore if Chronus opes they enter then And with the Relickes there they prey or play This Roomes description no Pen well can pen But such as markes the measure of Decay O! t is a Heau'n to heare Hell well set forth And Heau'n if ill describ'd seemes nothing worth 140 The Rowme is little this description great And yet too little for so great a Rowme Where all mankinde haue and doe finde a Seate Vntill they haue receiu'd their later doome Let Aletheia then make it compleate Sith all descriptions true come from her wombe Suffizeth me to shew but eu'n a glaunce Of Thanatus his Houses countenaunce 141 The Porter of this Place as erst was sed Is hundred-headed Nosus much more sterne Then Hells grim Porter with his threefold head The sight of whom made Phusis hart to yerne But Logus said she by him should be led The Lady Aletheia to discerne In hope whereof she did the better brooke The horror of his most detested looke 142 Now by this time she was within his touch Who to him trembling came submissiuely And gaue him of her Calor though not much That she might be the better vs'd thereby Nosus whom though diseases made to grutch Yet through that Calor lookt more cheerefully And gently with familiar aspect He opes the Gate and strait did her direct 143 For he denieth passage vnto none That makes much of him or doth loue him well But had he well the Ladie Phusis knowne Perhaps he would haue bin to her more fell For when she gaue him Calor she did grone To thinke how soone he would the same expell And Phusis by no meanes can well endure That Nosus should her any good procure 144 But he to her is most officious He tenders her his guidance and what not But yet the oddes twixt her and Thanatus Although by Him t' was more then quite forgot Made Her entreate this Porter curteous To call that Ladie forth whom Chronus got And gaue him some more Calor in a Box Which gaue him strēgth to ope the Ladies Locks 145 Herewith he went to Aletheias Bed Who ouer head and eares lay couer'd quite And being naked yet thus couered He could not haue of her an open sight But he aloofe his errand vttered Wherewith she rose yet came within the night For she being naked Darkenes seeks to hide her For men without a Mist haue seld espide her 146 But out she masked comes to Phusis late Who knew her not because she came conceal'd But asked who she was who did relate Both who and what and strait her selfe reueal'd It me behoues quoth she to hide my State For most men haue with me like Monsters deal'd Who like to deuills authors of vntruth Would force erroneous sense into my mouth 147 I goe thus mask'd quoth she sith men like fiends Of my destruction make no conscience Statesmen seeke for me but for subtill ends Some Churchmen would haue me Non residence But where their pleasure or their profit tends And fond Philosophers peruert my sense Strong thieues Lawyers wound my tender hart The one by force the other by their art 148 The Merchant and the slie Artificer Will for a penny profit stifle me With Falshoods cloake The biting Vsurer Doth vse me better though but cruelly And hath a will to vse mee worse by farre So he a farthing might the better bee But of all men that seeme me most to paine Vpon poore Poets I can least complaine 149 For though they hide me from the vulgar view With robes as they suppose that sumptuous be Yet giue they me my right with more then due As they best know that haue best eies to see They are my friendly foes false-louers true Which hate in shew but do indeed loue me Whom I wil one day feed with more then praise Which Manna makes thē look leane now adays 150 All those that Offices by coine come by To come by coine by buying Offices In Church or Common-weale do me defie For interrupting their by-passages No not so much as Somners but can spie The way to wound me on aduantages In summe all sorts are resolute herein To loose me quite so they thereby may winne 151 Haue I not reason then conceal'd to go To shunne these Helhounds hauing me in chase Who study by all meanes to worke my woe And with their craft transforme my constant face I were vnlike my selfe and mine owne foe If I went like my selfe in such a case By nature I the Ignorant do hate Then should I loathe if I knew not my State 152 But wherefore Phusis art thou come to me Who told thee where I lay who found'st me out Thine eies are dimme too dimme me well to see Then thogh thou see me thou therof maist doubt Quoth Phusis that full well I did foresee By Logus therefore brought I this about Who told me truly who and where thou wart Whose sayings touching thee I kon'd by hart 153 And I am come to thee for thine aduice Touching my children who as I am told By my friend Logus are in loue with Vice Or rather to that strumpet they are sold Who with faire words doth sweetly them intice To thinke and say and do but as she would Who as it s knowne to all that knoweth ought In fine doth bring her Louers all to nought 154 They being bound to Thanatus his house Are bound likewise ah woe is me from thence On the left hand to the land tenebrous Whereas Gehenna holdes his residence Which Monster being more then rauenous Will quite deuoure their Bodies Soules Sense The manner of whose house no tongue can tell But such as can describe the lowest Hell 155 Heere by the way we will awhile digresse And prosecute the rest of Phusis plaint When as wee haue describ'd this little lesse Then more then hell which colours cannot paint For what so blacke as depth of all distresse Where vtter darkenesse raignes without restraint Then sith we colours want as all do see Our too light shadowes must excused bee 156 There lie two waies from Thanatus his house That still are two sith they still disagree One
