wast And if thou fly thereby to flye my touch I can assure thee fair one stay thou may'st And yet I ne're the neer my star is such Stay if thou please and see but if thou stay'st The slight of hand the which my Fate so much In vain deplor'd will finde at last to reare A Wall between the Sickle and the Eare. 79. O flye me not So may Time never flye Thy Beauty out of sight For do but turn Dasht with the beams of thy Majestick Eye No sawcy fire in me will dare to burn What KING could break the force of destiny What ARMY conquer it and mine hath sworn To thwart me still Yet stay I 'm happy than And thou shalt do what KINGS nor ARMI●… can 80. With my malignant star doest Thou take part To help the stranger is not nobly done Carriest Thou with thee my Grief-loaden heart Send it me back and thou wilt faster run That Soul of mine grown heavy with long smart Hang'd in those Tresses which out-shine the Sun Does it not clog them Or since it came there Hath it chang'd mood and weighs but for one Here 81. With this hope onely thy white feet I trace That either Thou her weight will not indure Or she by being in that heav'nly place Will change her luck and better stars procure And if that change flye never such a pace LOVE can hit flying I am very sure And if he hit Thou't stay and on this score If thou do stay of Heav'n I ask no more 82. The fair Nymph now fled not so much to sell The Jewel dear for which the Lad pursu'd her As the sweet Tunes to hear that from him fell And amorous laments with which he woo'd her Her Eyes now bath'd in smiles and tractabell Turn'd upon Him who with his charms subdu'd her All melted in pure love languidly sweet She lets her self fall at the Victor's feet 83 O what devouring Kisses multiply'd What pretty whimp'rings did the Grove repeat What flatt'ring Force What Anger which did chide Itself and laught when it began to threat What more then this the blushing MORNING spy'd And VENUS adding Her 's to the NOON'S heat Is better try'd then guess'd I must confess But Those who cannot try it let them guess 84. For first with all the Rites of wedlock joyn'd Were the lov'd Sea-men to th'AQUATICK POW'RS What gentle Tongue and what white Hand could bind The Nymphs had added in those sacred Bow'rs And now their Lovers heads they crowned kind With gold and Lawrel and abounding Flow'rs Promise to keep them company for ever Whom life or death with honor shall not sever 85. The Chief of them whom all the rest went after And did obey in all things her behest Of URANUS and Holy VESTA Daughter As by her Face was easie to be guest Filling with wonderment both Earth and Water Th' illustrious Captain worthy of the Best With grave and Royal Ceremonies took Shewing her Greatness in her Pompe and Look 86. HIM whom she first acquainted with her name Then in a kind exordium mixt with state Gave him to understand she Thither came By the immutable decree of Fate To Him of the promiscuous Globe and Frame Of the vast EARTH and OCEAN to relate Parts undiscover'd by Prophetick Spirit Which He alone and his brave SPANIARDS merit 87. Taking up with her by the hand she led Unto a Mountain's top high and divine Where a rich Pyle erected the prowd head Of crystal all with massive gold and fine Here all the live-long day they rioted In full delight and sports to sports that joyn Within the Palace she injoys her love The others theirs within the flow'ry Grove 88 Thus the fair Bevy thus the Valiant Crew Divide the How'rs by innocent by chast Delights and such as Mortals never knew In recompence of so long labours past And thus the meed to such high Actions due Of noble Prowess ev'n the World at last Pays in despight of Envy with the sound Of a great Name which Time nor Place shall bound 89. For these fair Daughters of the OCEAN THETYS and the Angellick pensil'd ISLE Are nothing but sweet Honour which These wan With whatsoever makes a life not vile The priviledges of the MARTIAL MAN The Palm the Lawrell'd Triumph the rich spoile The Admiration purchac't by his sword These are the joys this Island doth afford 90. So those false Godships which ANTIQUITIE To all illustrious Men a zealous Frend In Starry Heav'ns created to which shee Made them on towring wings of Fame t' ascend For honorable Acts they did for free And noble Suff'rings VERTUE' 's path the end Whereof is smooth and pleasant like our Isle Though it self craggie steep and full of toile 91. What meant they but an Immortality Giv'n by the World for Actions Soveraign To such as ARTS or ARMS advanc'd t' a high And heav'nly pitch being born of humane strain For JOVE APOLLO MARS and MERCURY AENEAS ROMULUS the THEBANS TWAIN JUNO DIANA CERES PALLAS All Dwell as you doe in brittle Earthen Wall 92. But FAME the Trumpet of deeds great and good Gave them new Names and Titles on the Earth GODS of the whole and GODS of the half-blood GODS by Adoption and GODS by Birth If ye love Fame then if make These ye wou'd As Men your patterns though as Gods your Mirth Fly Sloath by which the SOULE which Heaven gave To be the BODY'S Queen becomes its Slave 93. Curbe with a Bit of Iron AVARICE AMBITION curb to which y' are too too prone And curb the black and detestable Vice Of TYRANNY and base OPPRESSION For these vain Honours this false Gold give price Unless he have it in himself to none Better deserve them and to goe without Then have them undeserved without doubt 94. Either in peace promote impartiall Laws That so great Fish devour not the small Fry Or armed tear out of the Great TURKS jaws The Christians prey on which he stretcht doth lye The Kingdom 's greatness by this means ye'll cause Nor lessen but augment your own thereby In Riches merited ye will abound And with true Honor have your Temples crown'd 95. And to your KING ye so pretend to prize Ye shall bring honour now with Councels grave Now with your Swords which will immortalize You as they have done your Fore-Fathers brave I ask you not Impossibilities He That will always can Then each shall have A HERO'S place or if that more may move Be Denizen'd into this ISLE OF LOVE End of the ninth Canto Tenth Canto STANZA 1. BUt now the Larissean Lasses Frend Who for a wealthier Lover did foregoe The God of Verse his setting Steeds did bend O're the great Lake of silver MEXICO SOL'S burning Rays FAVONIUS did suspend With that cool breath which makes where it doth blow Becalmed Jesamines erect their heads And naked Lillies sit up in their Beds 2. When the fair Nymphs and Lovers two abreast Now Frends and well contented hand in hand
one Head Since the dry Earth was compast by the Main It terrifies the living where it rolls And ev'n alarums their dead Father's Souls 104. His frighted subjects to protect and skreen He whom thou hast my Lord and Husband made Stands with small strength exposed to the keen And thirsty edges of the Moorish Blade And I shall soon depriv'd of all be seen If thou afford him not thy present ayd A sad and private Woman Husbandless Without a Crown or Him or Happiness 105. Therefore O King for very fear of whom The streams of hot MALUCO do congeale Succour O! quickly to the succour come Of miserable and despis'd CASTELE If that deare smile be an assenting dumb If that thy fatherly affection seal Run Father if thou do not by the MORE I fear thou 'lt find it over-run before 106. This with the self-same tone MARIA said To King ALPHONSO on her trembling knees With which sad VENUS once her Father pray'd For her ENEAS tost on Lybian Seas At which with sense of the deep moan she made Such tender pitty did JOVE'S bowels seize Indulgent Sire he let his Thunder fall And griev'd she askt no more granted her all 107. Streight armed Squadrons glitt'ring in the Sun Are mustred in the Fields of EBORA Scowr'd is the Sword the Lance the Murrion In rich Caparisons the Horses neigh. The Trumpet shrill with pendant Banner done Rowzes from peaces down where long they lay Their tickled Hearts to disaccustomed Arms And concave Drums go thund'ring fresh Alarms 108. Amongst them and above them All appeers Higher by head and shoulders then the rest And where He goes the Royal Standart veers Valiant ALPHONSO with erected Crest His very look it animates and cheers If there are any ev'n the Co●…ard's Brest Into CASTEEL thus marching is he seen With his fair daughter the Castilian Queen 109. The two ALPHONSO'S in conclusion joynd In wide TARYFA'S Fields confronting stood The endless numbers of the people blind For vvhom too narrovv are both Plain and Wood. Of ours not one so hardy but did find Somevvhat of cold and shiv'ring in his blood Save onely such as cleerly understands CHRIST fights the battail vvith his People's hands 110. Derided are the thin-spread Christian-Bands By Bond-Mayd HAGAR'S Progeny unclean Who by anticipation all their lands Divide amongst the Army Hagarene Which by false Title in possession stands Of the illustrious Name of Saracene Just as Another's noble Land they boast Now for their own reck'ning without their Host. 111 As that big-bon'd and barb'rous Gyant whom King SAUL so fear'd and all his Army worse Seeing a simple Swain against him come Onely with Peebles arm'd and a clean force With haughty language arrogant and grum Scorns the poor Boy and sends him to his Nurse Whom rounding with his sling He taught at length The diff'rence betwixt Faith and humane strength 112. So the perfidious MOOR advancing cracks Over the Christian Hoast nor understands What POW'R it is that their weak Powers backs Which Hell with all its Fiends in vain withstands Helpt by that POW'R He of CASTEEL attacks MOROCCO'S King who there in Chief commands The PORTINGAL who sleights their whole Armada He takes to Task the Kingdom of GRANADA 113. Now crack the Lances and the Swords cry clink Upon the Armours Pow'rs incountring Pow'rs Invoking when they stand on danger's brink Theirs MAHOMET and St. IAGO ours The strook strike Heav'n with Cries making a sink And standing Pool with thick 〈◊〉 show'rs Where some half dead lye drowning where they stood In too much n●…w who fell for want of blood 114. With so great blood-shed did the PORTINGAL Make Spoyl and Havock of the GRANADINE That in small space he kills or routs them All ' Spight of their Mayles and breast-plates of steel 〈◊〉 His hungry Blade which will to supper fall In FEZ if in th'ALHAMBRA it did dine The brave CASTILIAN helps to end the Fray Who hath the MAURITANIAN at a Bay 115. The burning Sun was making his retreat To THETYS'S grotts and the bright Ev'ning Star Drawing that glorious day to it's red Set Whose memory no time shall ever bar When the two Kings consummate the defeat Of the MOORS'S Powers assembled in this War With so much Tragick slaughter as no Age Beheld before or since on the World's Stage 116. Not a fourth part rough MARIUS slew of Those That lost their lives in this day's Victory When water dasht with blood of their dead Foes He made his Army drink which then was dry Nor He of CARTHAGE sworn a child t' oppose With Fire and Sword the Pride of ITALY When he so many Knights kill'd famous ROME That their Rings tane did to three Bushels come 117. And if Thou noble TITUS couldst alone So many souls to black COCYTUS send When thou the Holy City didst unstone Of that stiff People never to be wean'd From their abolisht Rytes This GOD did owne And christned it his Act that what was pen'd By the OLD PROPHETS might be verify'de And JESUS said too whom they Crucify'de 118. After this great and prosperous event ALFONSO come to PORTUGALL again There to injoy in peace and sweet content The spreading Glories he in War did gain A black and lamentable accident Worthy in FAME'S Memorials to remain Was on a miserable Lady seen Who after she was dead was made a Queen 119. Thou onely Thou pure LOVE with bended bow Against whose Force no brest whate're can hold As if thy perjur'd Subject or Sworn Foe Did'st cause her death whom all the World condol'd If Tears which from a troubled Fountain flow Quench not thy Thirst as hath been said of old It is that such is thy tyra●…nick mood Thou lov'st thy Altars should be bath'd in blood 120. Thou wer't fair YNES in Repose of LOVE'S Reflected Fires fost'ring the sweet heat young In that sweet Error that worse Fates removes Which Fortune never suffers to last long In sweet MONDEGO'S solitary Groves Whose streams no day but thou didst weep among Teaching the lofty Trees and humble Grass That Name which printed in thy bosom was 121. Thy pensive Prince with thine did sympathize Remembrances which in his Soul did swim Bringing thee always fresh before his Eyes When from thy fair ones bus ness banisht Him By night in dreams that cheat him with sweet lyes By day in thoughts that pencil thy each lim And all he mus'd and all he saw in fine Were dear IDEA'S of thy Form divine 122. Of other Ladies fair and Princesses The tend'red Matches he did vilifie For of a Heart 't is hard to dispossess True Love that hath had time to fortifie Upon these highly am'rous passages The Father looking with an old man's Eye Enrag'd with what the common-people sed And his Son's resolution not to wed 123. YNES determines from the World to take His Son from Her to take and to remove Believing with her blood 's ill let-out Lake To quench the kindled flames of constant love O! that
agrees The carved WATER serves her for a Gyrth And brancht like Veyns ore all her Body is Innumerable sorts of Fishes breeding Men with her Fish Earth with her moysturc feeding 13. Another door upon it carved has The War between the Gods and Gyants bold Beneath great ETNA crusht TIPHOIUS was Whence crackling flames in sulphur Ba●…ts are roll'd NEPTUNE himself stood heer of breathing Brass Striking the ground in that contention old When the first Horse to the rude world gave Hee And PALLAS the first peacefull olive-Tree 14. LYEU s's Choler would not let him stay To view the rest and passing through this Gate The GOD who told of his Approach did stay At th'inner Court receiv d him there in state Accompanyed with Nymphs in bright Array Of whom each seems to wonder with her Mate To see the Water's King paid one in fine Of many Visits made the King of Wine 15. NEPTUNE quoth he O! never think it strange That BACCHUS comes thy succour to implore For highest pow'rs and most secure of change 'T is envious FORTUNE'S pride to triumph o're Call all thy Peers that in the Ocean range Ere more I speak if thou wilt hear me more Down-weight of misery they shall discern Let them All hear the wrongs which All concern 16. NEPTUNE presuming it some hideous thing He would impart doth TRITON streight command To call the DEITIES inhabiting The frigid Waves on one and t other hand TRITON who vaunts himself son of the King By SALACEE ador'd in LUSUS'S Land Was a great nasty Clown with all that boast His Father's Trumpet and his Father's Poast 17. His thick bush-beard and his long hair which hung Dangling upon his shoulders from his head Were spungy Weeds so wet they might be wrung Which never Comb seem'd to have harrowed The nitty points thereof were tag'd were strung With dark blew Mussels of their own filth bred He had for a Montera on his Crown The shell of a red Lobster overgrown 18. His Body naked and his genitals That he might swim with greater speed and ease But with Maritine little Animals By Hundreds cover'd and all hid vvere these As Crayfish Shrimps and other Fish that cravvles Receiving theirs from the pale Moon 's increase Oysters and Periwinckles vvith their slyme Snayles vvith their Houses on their backs that climbe 19. His great wreath'd Shell to his black mouth apply'de With all the might he had he now did sound Whose shrill and piercing noyse heard far and wide O're all the Sea from wave to wave did bound Now all those Gods without excuses high d To the bright Palace from their Quarters round Of that moist God who built the Walls of TROY Which angry GREEKS did afterwards destroy 20. Old Father OCEAN first with all the sons And Daughters he begat inviron'd went NEREUS That married was to DORIS runs Who peopled all the Crystal Element The Prophet PROTHEUS his Flocks left for once To range the bitter Meade at full content He likewise came but He already knew What FATHER BACCHUS to the Ocean drew 21. Another way came NEPTUNE'S snowy Wife URAN and VESTAS daughter soveraign Grave in her Gate yet had her Graveness life And with a Face that calmd the wand'ring Main A Robe of Lawn whose Spinster had a strife With Her That with MINERVA strove in vain Of her bright limbs was the transparent Lid For they had too much beauty to be hid 22. Fair AMPHITRITE then the flow'rs in May Fresher and sweeter would not wanting bee The Dolphin who advis'd her to obay The love of the Seas KING with Her brought Shee The Sun in all his glory yields the Day To either's Eyes more worth then all they see They marched hand in hand an equal paire For Both the Spouses of one Husband are 23. That Queen who flying ATHAMAS run mad Came so to compass an immortal State Went and with Her her pretty Infant had Him too the Gods did to their Ranks translate Toying before his Mother tript the Lad With painted Cockles which salt Seas create Whom when the looser sand molests and harms Fair PANOPEA bears him in her Arms. 24. Likewise that God who had been once a Man And though a powerfull Hearb he chanc'd to tast Was chang'd t' a Fish so from that loss began A glorious life turn'd Deitie at last Came adding water to the Ocean Still weeping the lewd Tricks by CIRCE past On his lov'd SCYLLA Hee belov'd by This Hate where it springs from love so mortall is 25. Seated in short the Powers that rule the seas In the great Hall majestick and divine On gorgeous Cushions first the Goddesses The Gods in carved Chayres of crystall fine The King with gracious gestures All did please His Throne deviding with the King of Wine The House is filld with that rich sea bred masse Which doth Arabian Frankinsence surpasse 26. When now the whisprings of the Gods were ceast And ceremonies done between the Kings Burst THYONEUS began from hidden Breast To powre the Cause out of his sufferings Knitting his brow a little which confest His leaded Heart hung heavy on the strings Hee that with other's weapons he may slay The men of LUSUS thus his cards did play 27. PRINCE who of right from one to t'other pole The angry sea dost awe and dost command Thou that all earthly creatures dost comptroll And bridlest Nations with a roape of sand And Father OCEAN Thou whose Billows roll About the world and circumscribe the Land Least those meet Bounds which are for All decteed It 's proper dwellers should presume t' exceed 28. And you SEA-GODS that wont not to permit Your Kingdom 's high perogatives be broke But whoso dar'd to trespass upon It Felt what it was your vengeance to provoke What tameness this what dull lethargick Fit Who had such pow'r to stay your Anger 's stroke Ready with cause upon mankind to fall Frayle as the Glasse yet venturing at All 29. You saw with what unheard of Insolence The highest HEAV'NS they did invade of yore You saw how against Reason against sense They did invade the SEA with Sail and Oare Actions so Prowd so daring so immense You saw and We see dayly more and more That in few years I fear of Heav'n and Sea Men will be called GODS and but men WEE 30.

When first the MYNIAE went about ye know To cut a way through the forbidden Flood How BOREAS and his Fellow AQUILO With all the rest the Trespass then withstood If They so stormd if they concern'd were so That as their own your wrong they understood You whom it touches in a neerer way Why
