vp the the Waine where Ships were lately riding 11 No sooner be the Waues by Boreas quaild But we driue Oxen where before we saild By the Translatour to make vp a dozen Now Carters play their parts where Saylers acted To a firme Stage Frost hauing Waues contracted 17 Of Iris or the Rainbow Distichs varied 12. seuerall wayes 1 IRis in diuers hues her selfe arrayes And flies with painted Bow through cloudy wayes When Sol thereon hath cast his burning rayes 2 When Phoebus fills the olouds with radiant light With diuers colours Iris comes in sight Adorning heauen with her compasse bright 3 In clouds Thaumantias brightly shining raignes From whence a picturde vaile Heauens visage gaines When once the Sunne a rainy showre attaines 4 The hot Suns light wet clouds no sooner weare But many-figur'd Iris doth appeare And therewith beautifies the welkin cleare 5 While Sunne and showrie clouds nought keeps asunder The Raine doth sundry figures forme thereunder Which we the Raine-bow call and view with wonder 6 If to darke clouds the Sun his Beames obiect And to the showre opposd their light reflect Those clouds with colours are by Iris deckt 7 The Raine-bow girts the clouds with wondrous Art Which Phoebus reaching on the aduerse part Rare colours through the same doth subtly dart 8 Where Phoebus with his Beames moyst clouds out-faceth Iris whom many a glorious colour graceth With comely Orbe the cloudy skie embraceth 9 On watry clouds if Sol his lustre throw Then does the liquid humour shine below And we behold a varie-figur'd Bow 10 The gathering showre dissolu'd by Phoebus beames Iris so called in Greeke thereunder streames Decking heauens Cope with many-colour'd leames 11 Colour'd is Jris through light vnder laid Which of a showry cloud the Sun hath made When with his Heate the Wet is ouer-swayd 12 With light when Sol hath fill'd a rainy Cloud Straight Iris like a semi-circle bow'd Shines forth with many-figur'd parts endow'd 18 Of the rising of the Sun Tetrastichs varied 12. seuerall wayes 1 MOrne came from Sea as vaild with Saffron bright And on her two-wheeld Chariot blushing sat The candent Orbe the pole bespred with light And shining with cleare beames vp Phoebus gat 2 Forth walks Aurora in a Rosie robe Dying with orient light the Starry round And Sol from Tethis lap this Earthly globe Comes to illumine with beames glory crown'd 3 The golden Sun from th' Ocean raisd his head And then through heauen the stars appeard no more With reuerence to his brightnesse darknesse fled And light to all things did their hue restore 4 The Earth by Tithon's ruddy-colourd spouse With rosie light is dide and starry skie When Phoebus from the deepe his horse doth rowze With firie wheeles and makes the starres to flie 5 Night whom a veile of starres doth faire adorne Returnes amaine perceiuing day to rise And Phoebus in his golden chariot borne Makes all things here seeme glorious in our eyes 6 With rosie haire the golden Morne appeard And Earth was moistned with an early dew When Sol himselfe from Tethis bosome reard With flaming visage and eye-dazling hew 7 Titan dispersing ore Seas Earth and Aire His glistring light now forth againe is ridden The Starres forbeare to shine with golden haire And sable Nox her twinkling fires hath hidden 8 Sol with his lustre from the Ocean-streames Rearing his chariot hath restor'd the day And by reducing his flammigerous beames To heauen and earth hath driuen the star resaway 9 The Skie faire Memnons mother hauing dide And with her rosie hands the Starres exilde Now from the Sea Latona's sonne is hy'd Whose Orbe the day and aire hath reconcilde 10 Blushing Aurora vsher'd Phoebus Carre And he his Coursers from the Ocean brought Whose rayes de pelling each night-wandring Starre Dayes restitution to all mankinde wrought 11 Dayes charriot scarce had made the Welkin red And new dewes topt the flowers herbs and weeds When Phoebus left his louers watry bed And Starres gaue place to his flame-bearing steeds 12 Titans faire daughter with Ambrosian weed Her white feet shadowes from the Sea ascended Then with bright beames her Father doth proceed Thence driuing darknesse and Nights rule
