next Booke the Muses to awake The two and twentieth Song THE ARGVMENT The Muse Ouze from her Fountaine brings Along by Buckingham and sings The Earth that turneth wood to stone And t'holy Wells of Harlweston Then shewes wherefore the Fates doe grant That shee the Ciuill warres should chant By Huntingdon shee Waybridge meetes And thence the German Ocean greetes INuention as before thy high-pitcht pinions rouze Exactly to set downe how the far-wandring Ouze Through the Bedfordian fields deliciously doth strain As holding on her course by Huntingdon againe How brauely shee her selfe betwixt her Bankes doth beare E'r Ely shee in-Ile a Goddesse honored there From Brackley breaking forth through soiles most heauenly sweet By Buckingham makes on and crossing Watling-Street Shee with her lesser Ouze at Newport next doth twin Which from proud Chiltern neere comes eas'ly ambling in The Brooke which on her banke doth boast that earth alone Which noted of this I le conuerteth wood to stone That little Aspleyes earth we anciently instile Mongst sundry other things A wonder of the I le Of which the lesser Ouze oft boasteth in herway As shee her selfe with Flowers doth gorgeously aray Ouze hauing Ouleney past as shee were waxed mad From her first stayder course immediatly doth gad And in Meandred Gyres doth whirle herselfe about That this way here and there backe forward in and out And like a wanton Girle oft doubling in her gate In Labyrinth-like turnes and twinings intricate Through those rich fields doth runne till lastly in her pride The Shires Hospitious towne shee in her course diuide Where shee her spacious breast in glorious bredth displayes And varying her cleere forme a thousand sundry wayes Streakes through the verdant Meads but farre she hath not gone When I vell a cleare Nymph from Shefford sallying on Comes deftly dauncing in through many a daintie Slade Crown'd with a goodly Bridge arriu'd at Bickleswade Encouraged the more her Mistris to pursue In whose cleere face the Sunne delights himselfe to view To mixe her selfe with Ouze as on she thus doth make And louingly at last hath hapt to ouertake Shee in her Chrystall Armes her soueraigne Ouze doth cling Which Flood in her Allie as highly glorying Shoots forward to Saint Neots into those nether grounds Towards Huntingdon and leaues the lou'd Bedfordian bounds Scarce is she entred yet vpon this second Sheere Of which she soueraigne is but that two Fountaines cleere At Harlweston neere hand th' one salt the other sweet At her first entrance thus her greatnesse gently greet Once were we two faire Nymphs who fortunatly prou'd The pleasures of the Woods and faithfully belou'd Of two such Syluan gods by hap that found vs here For then their Syluan kind most highly honoured were When this whole Countries face was Forresty and we Liu'd loosely in the Weilds which now thus peopled be Oft interchang'd we sighs oft amorous lookes we sent Oft whispering our deare loues our thoughts oft did we vent Amongst the secret shades oft in the groues did play And in our sports our ioyes and sorrowes did bewray Oft cunningly we met yet coyly then imbrac't Still languish'd in desire yet liu'd we euer chast And quoth the saltish Spring as one day mine and I Set to recount our loues from his more tender eye The brinish teares drop'd downe on mine impearced breast And instantly therein so deeply were imprest That brackish I became he finding me depriu'd Of former freshnesse quite the cause from him deriu'd On me bestow'd this gift my sweetnesse to requite That I should euer cure the dimnesse of the sight And quoth the fresher Spring the Wood-god me that woo'd As one day by my brim surpriz'd with loue he stood On me bestow'd this gift that euer after I Should cure the painfull Itch and lothsome Leprosie Held on with this discourse shee on not farre hath runne But that shee is ariu'd at goodly Huntingdon Where shee no sooner viewes her darling and delight Proud Portholme but became so rauish'd with the sight That shee her limber armes lasciuously doth throw About the Islets waste who b'ing imbraced so Her Flowry bosome shewes to the inamored Brooke On which when as the Ouze amazedly doth looke On her braue Damask'd breast bedeck'd with many a flowre That grace this goodly Mead as though the Spring did powre Her full aboundance downe whose various dyes so thicke Are intermixt as they by one another sticke That to the gazing eye that standeth farre they show Like those made by the Sunne in the Celestiall Bow But now t' aduaunce this Flood the Fates had brought to passe As shee of all the rest the onely Riuer was That but a little while before that fatall warre Twixt that diuided Blood of Yorke and Lancaster Neere Harleswood aboue in her Bedfordian trace By keeping backe her streame for neere three furlongs space Laying her Bosome bare vnto the publique view Apparantly was prou'd by that which did ensue In her Prophetique selfe those troubles to foresee Wherefore euen as her due the Destinies agree Shee should the glory haue our ciuill fights to sing When swelling in her bankes from her aboundant Spring Her sober silence shee now resolutely breakes In language fitting warre and thus to purpose speakes With that most fatall field I will not here begin Where Norman William first the Conqueror did win The day at * Hastings where the valiant Harold slaine Resign'd his Crowne whose soyle the colour doth retaine Of th' English blood there shed as th' earth still kept the skarre Which since not ours begot but an inuasiue warre Amongst our home-fought fields hath no discription here In Normandy nor that that same day fortie yeare That Bastard William brought a Conquest on this I le Twixt Robert his eld'st sonne and Henry who the while His Brothers warlike tents in Palestine were pight In England here vsurp'd his eld'st borne brothers right Which since it forraine was not strucke within this land Amongst our ciuill fights here numbred shall not stand But Lincolne Battell now we as our first will lay Where Maud the Empresse stood to trie the doubtfull day With Stephen when he here had welneere three yeares raign'd Where both of them their right couragiously maintain'd And marshalling their Troups the King his person put Into his well-arm'd Maine of strong and valiant Foot The Wings that were his Horse in th' one of them he plac'd Young Alan that braue Duke of Britaine whom he grac'd VVith th'Earles of Norsolke and Northampton and with those He Mellent in that wing and Warren did dispose The other no whit lesse that this great day might sted The Earle of Aubemerle and valiant Ipres led The Empresse powers again but in two Squadrons were The Vaward Chester had and Gloucester the Reare Then were there valiant Welsh

On her faire Bosome lean'd and tenderly imbrac't And cald her her Deare heart most lou'd and onely chast Yet Sacie after Tea her amourous eyes doth throw Till in the bankes of Ouze the Brooke her

kind which we our Mountaines call Yet hath three famous Floods that out of him doe flow That to three seuerall Seas by their assistants goe Of which the noblest Nen to fayre Northampton hies By Owndle sallying on then Peterborough plyes Old * Medhamsted where her the Sea-mayds intertaine To lead her through the Fen into the German Maine The second Charwell is at Oxford meeting Thames Is by his King conuayd into the * Celtick streames Then Leame as least the last to mid-land Auon hasts Which Flood againe it selfe into proud Seuerne casts As on * th' Iberian Sea her selfe great Seuerne spends So Leame the Dower she hath to that wide Ocean lends But Helidon wax'd proud the happy Sire to be To so renowned Floods as these fore-named three Besides the Hill of note neere Englands midst that stands Whence from his Face his backe or on his either hands The Land extends in bredth or layes it selfe in length Wherefore this Hill to shew his state and naturall strength The surface of this part

Halcion calmes may wholly haue possest As though the rough winds tyerd were eas'ly layd to rest Then on the worth'est tract vp tow'rds the mid-dayes Sun His vndertaken taske thus Hellidon begun From where the kingly Thames his stomacke doth discharge To Deuonshire where the land her bosome doth inlarge And with the In-land ayre her beauties doth releeue Along the Celtick Sea cald oftentimes the Sleeue Although vpon the coast the Downes appeare but bare Yet naturally within the Countries wooddy are Then Cornwall creepeth out into the westerne Maine As lying in her eye shee poynted still at Spaine Or as the wanton soyle disposd to lustfull rest Had layd her selfe along on Neptunes amorous breast With Denshire from the firme that Beake of land that fils What Landskip lies in Vales and often rising hils So plac'd betwixt the French and the Sabrinian Seas As on both sides adorn'd with many harborous Bayes Who for their Trade to Sea and wealthy Mynes of Tinne From any other Tract the praise doth clearely winne From Denshire by those shores which Seuerne oft Surrounds The Soyle farre lower sits and mightily abounds With sundry sort of Fruits as well-growne Grasse and Corne That Somerset may say her batning Mores doe scorne Our Englands richest earth for burthen should them staine And on the selfe same Tract vp Seuerns streame againe The Vale of Eusham layes her length so largely forth As though shee meant to stretch her selfe into the North Where still the fertill earth depressed lyes and low Till her rich Soyle it selfe to VVarwickshire doe show Hence somewhat South

Shootes foorth her selfe in length and layes abroad a traine So large as though the land seru'd scarsely to containe Her vastnesse North from her himselfe proud Cotswould vaunts And casts so sterne a looke about him that he daunts The lowly Vales remote that sit with humbler eyes In Barckshire and from thence into the Orient lies That most renowned Vale of VVhite-horse and by her So Buckingham againe doth Alsbury preferre With any English Earth along vpon whose pale That mounting Countrie then which maketh her a Vale The chaulky Chilterne runnes with Beeches crown'd about Through Bedfordshire that beares till his bald front he shoot Into that foggy earth towards Ely that doth grow Much Fenny and surrounds with euery little flow So on into the East vpon the In-land ground From where that Christall Colne most properly doth bound Rough Chilterne from the soyle where in rich London sits As being faire and flat it naturally befits Her greatnesse euery way which holdeth on along To the Essexian earth which likewise in our Song Since in one Tract they lye we here together take Although the seuerall Shires by sundry soyles doe make It different in degrees for Middlesex of Sands Her soyle composeth hath so are th' Fssexian lands Adioyning to the same that sit by Isis side Which London ouer-lookes but as she waxeth wide So Essex in her Tydes her deepe-growne Marshes drownds And to Inclosures cuts her drier vpland grounds Which lately woody were whilst men those woods did prize Whence those fayre Countries lie vpon the pleasant rise Betwixt the mouth of Thames and where Ouze roughly dashes Her rude vnweildy waues against the queachy Washes Suffolke and Norfolke neere so named of their Scites Adorned euery way with wonderfull delights To the beholding eye that euery
