are Most learn'd to frame excuses and most rare To forge deceits her face she fits for wiles Her face all imitating frowns or smiles Her snares thou can'st not scape thou can'st not fly Thou can'st not overcome her subtlety So great 's her diligence her skill so great To work a mischief if she please to cheat And though thou see'st it with thine eyes she dares Excuse the wickedness Her potent snares Delude the Senses with her active minde In nothing thou can'st credit her so blinde She 'll make thee yet she 'll make thee that thy faith Must credit ev'ry thing she doth or saith Examples this confirm What horrid Crimes Have not bold Females acted in their times Tarpeia for a Bracelet did betray To Romes proud foes the Port the Cities Key Bloody Medea did her hands imbrew In her own childrens blood whom ah she slew Adult rous Helen fill'd th' Aegean Seas With Ships of Warre Scylla the foe to please Betraid her Father stole his purple hair Fled with the foe o'return'd his Regal Chair Biblis her Brother with base Lust pollutes Her self t' her Father Myrrha prostitutes Semiramis for her own Son did lust Amphiaraus was reduc'd to dust By means of his unfaithful wife The Daughters Of Danaus kill'd with unheard of slaughters Their husbands in one night A bloody Crew Of women the sweet Poet Orpheus slew And him in pieces cruelly did cut Pasiphae with Taurus plaid the slut Immodest Phoedra full of impudence With Chastity did most unchaste dispence Rebeccah did with subtlety beguile Her husband and her elder son the while She covered the youngers smoother skin With Kid-skins so the Blessing he did win Stout Hercules was poison'd by his wife Hippodame betraid her Fathers life Lavinia to palliate a jarre Involv'd the Trojans in a doubtful warre Bryseis from the Camp Achilles drew Chryseis with her Love-tricks overthrew The noble Agamemnon who with Love Mad and inrag'd was punish'd from above By Phoebus for his too too bold device And Eve Mankinde expell'd from Paradice Believe it shepherds for I here attest The Countrey Gods if you desire your rest If you the Pastures would should harmless prove Unto your flocks if you your flocks doe love If Rest Peace Life be grateful to you Chace All wanton Wenches from your dwelling-place Away with Thestilis far hence away With Phillis and let her no longer stay Neaera Galatea nor their mate Lycoris for they 'll spend your whole estate If you in your estates desire to thrive Far from your sheep cotes all those Lasses drive Tell me what woman ever past the Chain Of Pluto's Cell and thence return'd again Had not Euridice been mad she might Have back return'd through those black shades of night By which she thither went And Proserpine Had not the luck those Dungeons to decline But dutiful Aeneas safely came From those dark Dens and Orpheus did the same Great Hercules from thence again unburn'd And Theseus and the Brethren two return'd Both equal expert brother like to brother In Riding th' one in Fights and Wrestling th' other And our Redeemer did return from thence Whose rising brought the sweetest influence Of Life and of Salvation Shepherds O These these are Mysteries for us to know For us to ponder Let mans noble minde Fly things obscene for better things design'd Let Foeminines themselves delight delude With things and places infamous and rude As when a Sailer forc'd with winds and tide Hath dash'd his ship against a Rock can guide Unheedy Sailers to decline that Rock So man grown old and wiser can unlock By long experience the Chance of things That are to come and his Remembrance brings Things that are past to light and shews thereby The many dangers of Mortality If Fowl the Cruel Eagle N●ts the Deere The Lamb the Wolf Does Dogs do fly do feare VVhy do'st thou not O shepherd fear and fly VVomens inticements hurt so much thereby Hyaena-like th' are crafty to beguile And pious are as is the Crocodile VVhen flattering she weeps she thee besets Fly shepherd womens looks they be but Nets Trust not to courage valour nor to strength Nor to that Buckler whose unwonted length Did Perseus guard that without hurt or dread He saw the Snakes upon Medusa's head Those Snakes that metamophos'd into stone All that beheld her face but him alone Many have Monsters kill'd have Giants tam'd Have Cities overturned have been fam'd To bound the Seas proud waves and at their wills To stop the floods to top the sharpest hills The solemn Games to their immortal praise Have crown'd the Victors brows with frondent bayes But all those Conquerors that others spoil'd By women conquer'd were themselves and foil'd He that was first a Shepherd then a King Renowned for his Lion and his Sling His Son that after his devout example Erected sacred Zions stately Temple And Sampson whose unconquered strength excell'd All others were by women captives held Fire Stones Swords Spears less hinder our designes Yea Death less hurts us then those Foeminines Nor with her native beauty pleas'd she will A thousand wayes augment it with her skill Gold decks her forehead and to make her fair She paints her face and neatly curls her hair With art she goes with art she guides her eyes She runs and sporting from her lover flies Among the bushes that she thither may Seduce her lover willing she 's to play But simple yet and honest she would seem She 's negative and strives but her
