Zone burns up the fruitful grass The frigid turns it all to icy glass There love and anger both together dwell A countrey seated between heaven and hell With you love friezes and grows wondrous cold Our constant amities are never old That friendship which some thousand years hath run Is now as fresh as when it first begun Things alwayes present nothing past and gone One heart one mind we number all by one Arithmetick with us allows not two To sing and love is all we have to doe In every soul love throws his flaming darts The flame 's so great no frost can frieze our hearts Incompast with the glories of the Dove Whose gentle breath doth melt us into love Nothing so kind as he who is our brother Nothing so dear as we to one another Love without wrath whose garment hath no spot Tyes all our hearts in one eternal knot No striving to be high or to be best For he 's the greatest Prince that is the least He stands upon the mount and is most tall Who is the humblest and the low'st of all Titles of honour bubbles in the air Why should they soar who noble princes are Ambitious Nimrods who to heaven wo'd climbe The tower of honour long before their time All aim at greatness all men wo'd be Kings They take their flight with raw unplumed wings Those that in sweet humility lye low Are lifted up whether they will or no. To purchase Dukedoms we take no delight The meanest Subject in this land 's a Knight The name of Earl what honour doth it bring To him that is enthron'd a crowned King We wear the crown which you now strive to win Look not on things below but turn thou in With all the strength of faith and thou shalt see The Star that guided us will tutor thee He 'l lay thy soul in such a slumbring trance Thou wilt admire thy former ignorance When he shall freely to thy Soul impart The open cabinet of his rich heart ●n the clear beams of loves eternal light The Prophets and Apostles they did write Their book stood open where was drawn in pages The History of all succeeding ages Things present past to come as they did pass Were represented in a perfect glass And if their book of life were once unsealed All things to all man-kind would be revealed My time is spent appointed by the powers The Angels call me to their cristal bowers Since thou must dwell among the Sons of men In this vain world a forlorn Citizen ●ollow my Councel and all Idols quit The rock Self-love where millions have been split T is self that seeks to mount into the Saddle That he may murder Jesus in the cradle ●t swept like a dire plague where e're it ran And hath infected all this world call'd man ●n an insulting domineering high rant Stalks in the steps of the Sicilian Tyrant This word call'd Love which makes the world run mad Hath now more faces than e're Janus had Many false loves there are for in the tryal The Touchstone proves there is but one that 's loyal The Puritan will sing an amorous Sonnet To sensual love the Zelot vails his Bonnet All light their Torches at Don Cupid's lamp This bastard love hath not the royal stamp For some fair face madmen and fools will dye Because it is delightful to the eye For gold men sail o're Seas of flaming fire Because it gives them all they can desire Flowers whose pleasing odors do excell We love not for themselves but for their smell Whatsoe're pleaseth all men strive to win it And at the bottome self is still within it This coin it will not pass 't is counterfeit Self love is grown to be a general cheat 'T is chaff that 's blown away with every fan All creatures have this love as much as man Unfixed meteors like the wandring light Which doth deceive the Passenger by night Friendship 's dissolv'd and love grows wondrous lean When greater interests do intervene Love from the fountain which is rarely found Loves ' cause it loves and hath none other ground Canst thou love loveliness when clouds do shade it Not for thy interest but his that made it Canst thou with love and pity then bemoan it Because it hath his superscription on it Canst thou draw Fountain-water from a puddle And swim in joy in the height and top of trouble Canst thou make crosses thy delight and pleasure And from the depths of hell drag heaps of treasure A Virgin undefiled in the mire Eat Thunderbolts and swallow flaming fire Canst thou with Jonathan a David take When Scepter Crown and Kingdom lye at stake Canst thou imbrace what all men discommend Call naked poverty thy bosome friend What mortals fear canst thou shake hands with death When he doth come to blow away thy breath Couldst thou a sacrificed Victim be For him that lyes in wait to murder thee Canst thou write self i' th' number of the Martyrs And lay poor Lazarus where thy Strumpet quarters Thy dear and onely Isaac canst thou leave him In his fair hands from whom thou didst receive him Hast thou this love though it be ne're so little Then thou hast something that deserves the title The mysteries this good man did unfold I wish'd they had been written all in gold Transported with high wonder and delight Ending his speech he vanisht out of sight To Pharaoh's plenteous land I next did row Which famous fruitful Nile did overflow The land was good but for a cursed law That I my self must gather all my straw To make my tale of bricks if I grew dull My shoulders paid the reckoning to the full And what was worse my mind doth yet abhor it My work being done I had no wages for it Some that did sing and caroll all the day Carouse and tipple they had all the pay These spent their time in merriment and laughing Rewarded richly with a crown for quaffing We feed and intercommon with the swine They at their great Lords table daily dine To swallow bran and husks we are not nice They banquet on the fruit of Paradice Imprison'd like a blackbird in a Cage Poor puddle-water is our beverage Rich Nectar cannot their quick pallate scape Nor the heart-blood of the most noble grape With golden ornaments and silk arraid On beds of down with diamonds o'relaid They rest and feast in jollity and mirth Our bones in rags on the despised earth What e're they do is paid with smiles and graces Our crimes are all unboweld to our faces For which beside the sorrow and the cost Our backs are feasted at some Whipping-post These have no other leader but the Dove Their meat their drink their rich attire is love They Kings and Princes are no cruel law Conscience to fright or keep their minds in awe They dance they sing they frollick sport and play For all the year is but one holyday The father does the work the children play And
to the Indian shoar The Artick and Antartick Star The Tawny and the Blackamoor From thence I travell round about To countreys never yet found out My heart my heart is very sick All nations of the earth I woo My Soul is turning Catholick And so is my religion too The Deity in all doth move So universal is my love An Hymn of Love TUNE True blew c. Gentle love hath no dissention In our holy Christendom He will end all wild contention Hell and death he 'l overcome Love that 's of no price accounted Tossed like a Tennis-ball On his white horse bravely mounted He will ride to conquer all Heav'n and Hell with wealth shall store him The fatness of the holy land Victory doth march before him The Lamb and Dove at his right hand To the battel he advances His colour's oriental blew Not with guns and ordinances Adversaries to subdue In his eye there are such blisses Enemies it overthrows With imbraces smiles and kisses He will conquer all his foes Low humility befriends him Meekness patience and the rest Noble charity attends him To provide for every guest Here 's no begging or intreating None do labour plow or sow ●od provided without sweating The tree of life doth freely grow In his house there dwells no danger Steward Hospitality Kindly welcomes every stranger Prest with friendless poverty Bounty crowneth all their wishes Entertains with chearful breast Plenty ushers in the dishes Grand purveyor of the feast Dishes rich innumerable But of all this princely fare Quoth love mine heart is on the table Feed my Joy and do not spare Noble Angels sweetly singing Tunes of heav'nly melody In the midst a fountain springing They that drink can never dye Measured dances nimbly tracing Fires of love that always flame Hugging kissing and imbracing Singing praises to the Lambe Love within and love without them Love doth all his treasure lend Peace and joy dwells round about them Peace and joy that hath no end Immanuel is all our story He is our royal diadem To him be glory glory glory We are his new Hierusalem An Epitaph Hymn c.
