Eld for Iohn Wright and are to be sould at his shop neere Christ-Church Dore. 1613. THE MVSES-TEARES for the high Heroik and neuer-too-much praised HENRY Prince of Wales c. THe HAND of heauen as quick as it is strong And moues this ALL to all it moues vnto Hath turn'd our hopes to feares and griefes among In his Lifes LINE which it did late vndo Princely-perfection being past the prime And neare the highest grow'th O dismall turne Is turn'd into the Roote this Winter-time Ner'e to retire till GOD in Flesh returne He vpon whome the Nations Eyes were bent As on a most auspitious blazing Starre Is now extinguish'd yet the light hee lent Fore-shew'd he would haue thundred lowd in War For in his Eares no musick sweet did sound But Trumpets Drummes and Phifes and at his meate While they did others hearing but confound They solac'd his and made his stomake great Th'expertest Fortifier and Engineere He sought who taught him either skill so young That he his Teachers taught so did appeare Too ripe too soone to last so ripe too long And in all exercise of Armes he was Vnmatch'd by any of his yeares For He Past subiects so as he did subiects passe In Birth Mind Vertue Glory and Degree The Doing-Horse all Eyes can witnesse it He made much more than Do yet sate so sure As they but where are they that so can sit That back the wildest Beasts yet sit secure In few no Feate of such Actiuity As graced Action and the Actor too But it with most admir'd Agility He did past all that best so young could do With Arts and Letters hee so stor'd his MIND That both knew all therein y'er Youth could know So Arte and Nature were as Curst as Kind To Cleaue so to him and to Leaue him so His Spirit and Body were at endlesse strife Which should be Actiu'st in all Princely Parts For both were full of Grace as full of Life Both which winne Glory with both Hopes and Hearts That actiue Spirit his Meditations rais'd Aboue the Spheare of GREATNES that doth rise From those Perfections that do perish prais'd To seek PERFECTION prais'd and neuer dies And like a Soule that nought on Earth can fill Seeking for al-suffizing Aliments Still mounts aboue her selfe in Minde and will Till she hath found what fully her contents So his rare Soule beeing euer on her VVings Soone cloide with whatsoe're the Earth holds deere Sought to suffize her with eternall Things Which made her stay so much the shorter here The World could not containe her not as He To whose ambition Earths Rotundity Seem'd but an Angle no but Shee did flee The VVorld and such vaine Pride yet fled more high She fled to Him whose Center 's euery where And Circle no where for true Eaglet She On Iustice SONNE her Eyes being strong as cleare Still lou'd to looke to shew her Dignity But while She kept within her Prison-walls Or Iaile of Flesh She through the windowes saw To all that in Discretions Compasse falls And ordred all that All by Reasons Law His Seruants so hee swai'd and that alone Himselfe beeing vnder Tutors as appear'd That they were gouern'd by some Salomon For which he was no lesse Belou'd than Fear'd Reward and Punishment being as the weights By which our Horologe of life is mou'd Fell euer through Him from Celestiall Heights On none but whom true vertue loth'd or lou'd If then his Priuate in such order stood How had the publike done when hee had swai'd They had beene like for Grace in likely-hood And for our Common-good as Good as stai'd The High'st all good things hath in Essence still Ill in his Vnderstanding-pow'r but Man Hath good things by Intelligence but ill He hath in Essence for no Good he can But He whose goodnesse rauish'd him from hence Was Good in Nature by his BEING blest But Ill he had but by Intellingece Which he with Grace corrected being best Some Kings are more than Men in their beliefe But in their liues such Beasts as neuer liu'd The chiefe Offenders than are oft the CHIEFE But this Belou'd liu'd well and well beleeu'd The Simile twixt God and Man is such That God is said to be immortall Man And Man a mortall God He was so much Whose want we waile much more than sorrow can His Princely lookes compos'd so rarely were Of venerable grauity and grace That one did Loue prouoke the other feare And both in one still shew'd a sacred Face His Ire was temperate sith he knew so well How ill t' was in Warme Fortunes to be hot Sith like great Ruines those it quite doth quell On whome it falls and lights on equall Lot It is to rash and so must needs offend To do ought well For it cures ill with ill Then to referre a Vice to Ire to mend Is Vice to cure by Vice outragious still Great Mindes in Choler should be euer like The highest Planets that are slowest mou'd And neuer vse how euer mou'd to strike Till they indulgent meanes haue throughly prou'd The fire of Ire that from cold feare proceeds Prouoks the Subiect put past feare in hate To make attempts although for it he bleeds To free his feare that makes him desperate Nor is he quiet kept to keepe him low As some affirme for eu'ry hope that giues Least like-li-hood to raise his ouer-throw Vnder new Lords for such he plots and striues Then as from loue proceeds a State more sure Though moderate so that that comes from feare Although more absolute doth lesse endure For feare growne des'prate it will ouer-beare For Cruelty from Cowardize doth spring Sith still couragious Minds their force imploy But on resisting foes then hee 's no King But Tyrant that but prostrate Friends destroys It is a weakenesse of great Pow'r and Will To loue them least that most they do offend Whome Kings offend they will offend them still And ne're for-giue th' offended till their end But hate to see them sith perhaps their sight But minds them of the wrongs they do them still In this this Gaul-lesse Prince tooke no delight But did quite otherwise in Deed and Will Ambition the Soules Shirt sith that 's the Vice Shee last puts off no more transported his Than Caesars was with glories auarice For his Ambition wholy aim'd at This Kings should haue innocency Columbine To do no more than harmelesse
