HISTRIO-MASTIX Or THE PLAYER whipt Printed for TH THORP 1610 HISTRIO-MASTIX Actus primi Scaena prima Enter Peace Grammer Logick Rhetorick Arithmatick Geometrie Musick and Astronomie Peace VNmaske thy face thou minister of Time Looke forth bright mirror let thy golded hand Ride with distinctlesse motion on the eyes Of this fayre Chorus till the Raigne of Peace Hath propagated Plenty and increase Now sit wee high tryumphant in our sway Encircled with the seauen-fold flower of Art To tread on Barbarisme with siluer feete These these are adiuncts fit to waite on Peace Who beeing courted by most searching spirits Haue alwayes borne themselues in God-like state With lofty foreheads higher then the starres Draw neere fayre Daughters of eternity Your Fostresse Peace is like the aged Nursse Growne proud to see her Children florish thus Gram. We know not how to turne these bounties backe But with continuance of obsequious loue Whil'st Peace tryumphes it lyes in Grammers might To make the rudest braine both speake and write Log. Logick shall furnish them with Argument And make them apt and able to dispute The theame shall be of Peace and her sweet name And euery Sillogism' shall proue her fame Rhe. Rhetorick will put her richest habite on Of gestures Voice and exornation Her Tropes and Scheames shall dignifie her sence And Honours Peace with clearest eloquence Ar. Her graces in my numbers shall be seene So full that nothing can be added more Nor ought subtracted true Arithmetick Will multiply and make them infinit Musick Musick shall feast the bounteous eares of Peace Whil'st she inspires her numme conceipt with life Varying each concord moode and faculty In flowing straynes and rapting Symphonie Astr. The motions of the Planets and their Spheares The Starres their influence quantities consents All that Astronomie can teach or know She doth professe from sacred Peace to flow Geo. And I will make her powers demonstratiue In all my angles circles cubes or squares The very state of Peace shall seeme to shine In euery figure or dimensiue lyne Peace Inough fayre Virgins Time shall prooue this true Whil'st you do honor Peace shee 'le cheerish you Enter Mauortius Philarchus Larius Hiletus Chrisoganus Omnes Honor and safety still attend fayre Peace Peace Thankes noble Lords and worthy Gentlemen But wherefore looke you so askaunce on these As if they were not worthy your salutes Omnes Because wee knew them not Chri The more your blame Peace O pittied state most weake where nobles want The loue and knowledge of the liberall Arts Are you the men for birth and place admir'd By whose great motions lesser wheeles turne round And shall your mindes affect so dull a course As if your sence where most irrationall What is a man superiour to a beast But for his mind nor that ennobles him While hee deiects his reason making it The slaue vnto his brutish appetite Make then your mindes illustrious in your deedes And each choose in this troupe a spowsall mate Mauo. Wee doe obay And I choose Musick first Phil. I Geometry Hile. I Rhetorick Lar. And I Astronomie Chri. And I to be a seruant vnto all Peace But now beware yee iniure not the fame Of these bright Virgins with adulterate loue Meane time their seruant heere Chrisoganus Shall teach of euery Art the misterie Exeunt Peace and Arts Mauo. But if by Art as all our Artists say There is no reall truth to be attain'd Why should wee labour in their loues bestow The wisest said I know I nothing know Chri. The wisest was a foole for saying soe That Oracle pronounc'd wise Socrates For doe I know I see you or the light Or do you know you heere mee or I touch you Phil. All this wee needes must know assuredly Chri. If this bee certaine then which comes from sence The knowledg proper to the soule is truer For that pure knowledg by the which wee know A thing to bee with true cause how it is Is more exact then that which knowes it is And reacheth not to knowledge of the cause Besides that knowledge that considers things Abiunct from senciue matter is exacter Then that which ioynes it selfe with elements Arithmetick euer considers numbers Abstract from senciue matter Musick still Considers it with sence as mixt with sound Therefore Arithmeticque is more exact And more exact then is Geometrie Since vnitas is still simplicior puncto And number simpler then is magnitude For Vnitas may still be sine puncto But Punctus neuer without Vnitie Nor Magnitudo sine Numero Dum enim punctus ponitur ponitur ex necessitate vnitas Mauo. But all this prooues not wee may know a truth Chri. If wee haue this wee call Scientia We must haue truth of meere necessity For Acriueia doth not signifie Onely a certainty in that wee know But certainty with all perfection Phil. Although I am not satisfied in this It doth me good to heare him thus discourse Mauor My Lords let 's betake vs to our studies Phil. In nothing am I better pleas'd let 's goe Exeunt Enter Incle Belch Gutt Post-hast The Players Song The nut-browne ale the nut-browne ale Puts downe all drinke when it is stale The toast the Nut-meg and the ginger Will make a sighing man a singer Ale giues a buffet in the head But ginger vnder-proppes the brayne When ale would strike a strong man dead Then nut-megge tempers it againe The nut-browne ale the nut-browne ale Puts downe all drinke when it is stale Inc.
