euery part so well proportioned With such maiestick forme such pleasing rarenesse As few by nature are like fashioned Then enuy taints his heart as if high Ioue Had in his frame shew'd greater art and loue 74. For if in sleep he such affections moue His fore-head ey-browes cheeks lips are so pleasing How will he waking speaking looking proue How comely shall his body proue with dressing Oh worthy blessed Youth doe not grow proud Of that which liberall nature hath allow'd 75. Fortune hath giuen thy person good successe Fate orders all things for thy further good All heauen consults how it thy State may blesse And match thee fitly both for worth and bloud This said with a loue-causing golden dart He softly bares and aymes at his deare heart 76. Yet ayming he beheld so sweet a brest He smooths and stroakes but could not wound or strike My darts he said are dangerous let them rest They Phoebus pierce or those I doe not like Thy feature so neere mine moues my remorse Thy tender soule needs no such violent force 77. I vvill not vse my wonted arts to thee So laying aside his arrow-breeding-smart He noints his brest with iuice of mirtle tree And laying his mouth to mouth and heart to heart Embracing his firme body with both his armes And with diuine heate his pure entrailes warmes 78. Then with sweet kissing takes and giues him breath And in that breathing doth infuse desire Applies his torch the Princes lips beneath Who panting for coole aire drew loues quick fire Which being breath-carried swifter then an arrow Had quickly pierc'd his hart head spirits and marrow 79. Which the Prince feeling sigh'd and sighing waked Sleep vanisht from his eyes and with him Cupid Yet so that his infection nothing flaked And made him with admiring welny stupid That he should sweat and burne the cause vnknown His mind was mazed himselfe was not his owne 80. Not otherwise then if one thunder-strooke Liues yet vncertaine whether he liue or no Tries whether he sleepe or wake So did he look Whether they were dreams or truth which vext him so Yet while he looks his heart shut vp the passion Which being inclos'd works deeper inflammation 81. He though but little vnderstanding loue Yet vnderstands his thoughts are deeply chang'd Not knowing it end he knowes it so far moue As that himselfe is from himselfe estrang'd First he loues not yet would loue instantly Then loues yet sees not either whom or why 82. He thinks how sweet a thing it were to marry An equall bed-mate dreams would not so feare him Nor cares arise by lying so solitary Or if they did a Comforter were neere him On th' other side his vnexperienc'd age And much-lov'd libertie such thoughts asswage 83. The tender simplenesse of honesty The bitter crosse of an vnequall yoke An in-bred shamefastnesse and chastitie With awfull reuerence of his Parents choke His former youthfull thoughts yet loue commands And who the force of conquering loue with-stands As Rhine encreas'd with brooks more tosseth A laden ship the more men shall resist So loues fire fiercer grows when reason crosseth Now Phoebus beams had banisht nights darke mist Aurora cheer'd and cleer'd all mortall eyes The Count leaues bed yet could but weakely rise 85. For knowing no cause of this vncertaine fit The lesse he knowes the more he stands astound As a fierce horse refusing the first bit Snores fomes and stamps as if he skorn'd the ground His hoofe strikes vp his nostrils breath out fire So Frederick would but could not leaue desire 86. His passion euery day doth more encrease The more it wanteth satisfaction No studie sport or time can it appease So small his comfort such was his distraction His cheeks grew pale his lims did throughly languish His life was lothsome with continuall anguish 87. Thus while afflicted with loue-doubts and feares Hee finds no fit mark for his harts affection At length accompanied alone with cares Walking he spies by chance or by election The liuely picture of Elizabeth Mongst other Ladies whom she far surpasseth 88. No sooner did he looke but like for cold His body shooke his knees began to tremble His heart and sence to faile Then loue him told Beeing loth his purpose longer to dissemble She was the Paragon whome Gods assignd For his content he should no better find 89. His eies assured him her proportion Was such as Ioue beholding might affect His tongue late mazd had now got vse of reason And could not chuse but thanks and praise direct Towards heauenly powers that seing him louer proue They would allot him such a worthy loue 90. Who would not seeke thee saith hee so faire a prise When you dread gods call me though much vnfit Only let not mine hopes in vaine arise As you began my purpose prosper it This non pareil for beauty vertue state Shall be my first my last mine only mate 91. So fauor you my loue While thus he said He could not waiue his looks from the faire table Nor thence remoue his wits astonished Vntill this obiect wonderous amiable Remou'd into his chamber night and day Being neer his louer did his griefe allay 92. For this which he reputes his onely treasure He thinks his lodging dearer then all places In this he takes his most delightfull pleasure Here he spends all his time no sport embraces Neither the theater nor bounding horse Nor following hart nor hare with darts or course 93. Hunting the foaming Boare with speares or Snares Or catching birds with nets or slimy birch For these or home-vsd games he little cares His mother and kind equalls wonder much And offer comfort like Pygmalion He woes his Image with deuotion 94. This vpper face of coulours him deceiues Changing his wondring thoughts a thousand wayes Somtimes her person present he conceiues Offers to touch drawes back feares to displease Then pardon begs as if he were too bold His eyes from shedding tears themselues scarce hold 95 As if it spoke or heard he speakes replies And somtimes kisses adds as if it felt And to those lookes his lookes do simpathise Drinking deep loue he doth in fancies melt This gladded Iris in a whirlewind lurking When she saw Cupids first attempt so working 96. Therefore she noints his temples with spike-●ar To coole his loue with due consideration Truth might be knowne and reason might be heard Her absence fully found now stirs more passion How far quoth he was my poore sence bereau When for a substance it a shade conceiue 97. Why burne I thus in vaine vnknowne 〈◊〉 Why send I not the Virgins father word And marriage craue It may be theil'e be●●●●●● With my nobility got first by sword Neither in length nor strength of prouinces Nor honors I need yeeld to mighty Princes 98. Suppose my country lesse my people fewer Then his my portion should not be disdaind Mine auncestors haue beene great kings I am sure Kinges haue their daughters they kings

There meager Couetise is generall The standerd-bearer superstition Chief-gunner Pride casts many a wildfire ball Error their purueyer wanders vp and downe To get them food while weake Hypocrisie Sits watching all their tents with heedfull eye 35. Yet that successe may sort for their desire They couer their sore threats keen swords pale death And will vse fraud before they shew their ire Changing the titles which they tooke beneath Framing false rights hel-fire bred soldiors Would now bee knowne for heauen-bred Sauiors 36. For sons of Ioue Earth tooke the slaues of hell Babell was termd a Reuerend Sanctuary Idolatry Deuotion high pride Zeale Rash error a religious credulity Hipocrisie was cald lawes complement Thus euery vice got vertues ornament 37. The other furies got them other Vestures The Cruell Wolues were clad with sheeps faire clothing Looke lowly seeming plaine with curteous gestures Outwardly prasing God inwardly lothing Their speach was pleasant without murmuring Their harts all ragefull hate and slaughter breathing 38. They sought the ruines of Nobles kingdoms kings If they deny them tribute or contradict Or but refuse obedience in bad things Or not submit their crownes they will afflict And curse them downe vnto the deepest hell False Menedemus was their Sentinell 39. Aye me th' Infernall Dragon did more harme By close dissemblance then plaine cruelty And therefore did not hiss breath flames or blacke troups arme But as old fishers catch the silly fry Couering their manly shape with goates rough skins So Dis by seeming faire foule meaning wins 40. Aye me so suttle was his craft and sleight Not Pallas learn'd not gold-tong'd Maias child Nor slie Vertumnus could vnfold it right Hee ment such wrack spoke so faire lookt so mild Doing most vniustice yet hee seem'd most iust This got him greatest honor power and trust 41. He seemes as not refusing heauens firme lawes Neither thy new nor auncient Oracles Thy fathers nor they childrens old-said sawes And that which most confounds his practizes He takes as making most for his estate By this mens minds are most intoxicate 42. As cunning painters put their marble stayning On rotten cloth He with contorted senses Turns and ore turns all truth all rights destrayning And straightning crooked things with his pretences Sends forth new sects new honors golden showers To them that guard his sacrilegious Towers 43. These vse all meanes to lift the patron higher All supreme titles and subordinate Are giuen him better then he can desire Hence dares he what he list and thunders at All earthly powers as hauing thy power high Ioue Takes and giues crownes as 't please him hate or loue 44. He pardons and layes guilt on absent men Hee claymes a soueraigne rule on flesh-freed soules Fains a purge-fornace in his filthy den To couer his neuer-quenched brimstone holes Greater preuent lesse feares Now men surmise His death life hell arie fire warmth serpents flyes 45. How oft haue sinne and shame-bred ougly fiends Spred errors far from thought crimes from beliefe And sowne profanenes in mens pregnant minds Which they no sooner knew but put in priefe Their lessons went beyond their teachers taught Others far worse at which Megara laught 46. How oft his pild Priest offering rash-vow'd gifts Applauds his owne conceit when like a player He crosseth kisseth stands goes turns and shifts Mocking our powers with timeles senseless prayer As if our honor were tied vnto the stage And we were naught but what pleas'd this late age 47. Oh gods can men so soon forget good rites Is this their faith and loue their holy zeale Are Temples thus vnhallowed with lewd sights Thinke they to please when in such wise they deale Worshipping blocks for vs they thinke vs blocks And bowing to stones they make themselues but stocks 48. They keep and creep and weep to guilded lead Or wooden sticks or dead-mens cloths or bones All that vs worshipt must be worshipped Themselues their carcases their buriall stones Tendring to death who neither can heare nor see Those prayers that should be made only to thee 49. How oft when any doth resist their will Swelling they snarle and send forth dangerous wars Such was these Monsters boldned loue of euill That mingling vitre pitch brimstone steel-bars The matter bred neere the skill brought from hel Would faine haue drawne and driu'n vs thither pel-mel 50. Digging the bowels of the wondring earth And laying their diuel-found engines in her veines They would haue opened wider gates to death To passe in shorter time with sorer paines Their chiefest mark was my wisht ouerthrow With all my better worlds by one fierce blow 51. Oh mischiefe worse then any spoke in fables Exceeding Danaus bride-beds and Busiris Or Euxin Dians altars Tantalus tables Pluto now cannot worse whose fell desire is To root out all my stock vnless he kild My choice Defender with heauens fauors fild 52. For his destruction who from infancie Because a nourishing Father to my seed They would haue slaine his Queene Lords Commonalty For one all should haue perisht oh fowle deed To driue all true deuotion out my land They would not let Towres Temples Cities stand 53. Then might the world haue known the deeps of Stix These mischiefe-broachers might haue seen their place Who could they with one blow heauen earth hell mixe With all their force would all my rites deface Iustice with shame-fastnesse and modesty Fled Earth and would not see this cruelty 54. Poore I so much and oft amaz'd with griefe So sore pursued with inquisitions Scap't scarse their hands and tooke me to reliefe They rais'd so many persecutions Only the care of mine me fortified For whose deare sake I would if 't might be died 55. Why should I reckon all those grieuous crosses Thy children vndergoe let heauens beare record No light or night can passe without some losses The night for dreams the light for pains abhord These proue those true so no where peace I finde Feare pain pain breeds more feare in my mar'd mind 56. Thus I that once brought forth so many people To multiply thine heauenly family Now dry weake old can hardly get a steeple But must lament their ruines and misery I that spred once my light as vvide as day To th' Prince of darknes am now made a prey 57. I which once rais'd my trophees in each land Made holesome lavves rul'd Nations with my rod Behold a vvretched fugitiue heer stand Despised and canst thou suffer this great God Is this my povver my kingdme promised Is thy poore daughters dovvry thus demised 58. Shall I thus vvander hauing no certaine cell When other Gods can haue their thousand shrines Of golde high-built and free from dangers fell While thy lou'd off-spring vvithout lodging pines Yet vvould I not my brethren should haue lesse Proud enuy fits not my forlorne distresse 59. Onely let my poore deity complaine If thus I may be call'd not being hence banisht That the cold Sauromate and Scythian Who vvander

daughters gaind Why should I not then write writing ●s 〈◊〉 Why go I not and speak my mind at full 99. Then shall I see what I so much admire Yet wherefore should I goe Cupid may flatter Shee seemes too faire I may too much aspire Kings would with Kings vnite perchance her father Already hath espousd his gracious maid To some great Prince then mine hopes are layd 100. Why should I follow such vncertainties O venter where I cannot well preuaile Oppressed peeres maintaine their auncestrie And titles much more such why should I faile The Gods I think affected me to loue her And therefore they wil help I hope to moue her 101. They first prouok'd me by faire Imagery What shall do shall I be knowne so light Or dye not knowne vnlesse I loue I die Yet rather dye then be dispised quite Shall I not follow loue who tells my mind The fates her for me me for her designed 102. Surely the picture calls and proffers grace If I should erre it is but loue and youth Which erres this is esteemd a veniall case My bookes declare how Cupid hath no ruth But makes men follow by fire and swords and floods Forsaking their owne parents lands and goods 103 You powers deuine if any loue true loue Or haue inspird me with affection Let me protest the same and humbly mooue Your help to bring this busines to perfection As ere my parents in heart honord you As I them imitate with seruice due 104. As I hate sinne and would liue pure til death 〈◊〉 your good speed I le passe the narrow Seas Further ioy Iorney towards Elizabeth Who beautifies great Brittaine there I le please Myselfe atleast with seeing hearing kissing Though like a stranger all contentment wishing 105. Shee 'l know perchāce answer mine eyes language Thus being resolu'd he calls his counsell sage Bids them prepare a nauy for his passage With al things fitting such a stately voyage And shewing the cause doth aske his mothers leaue Least his vnknowne departure might her grieue 106. The heauenly consort seeing so good successe And well foreseeing this blessed marriage neere Reioyce and for this iourney soone adresse The Seas of winds the ayre of cloudes to cleare Fame ran before this happy newes t' impart Mouing the Kings and his faire daughters heart 107. No sooner shone the day prefixt for going But his braue ship with golden garlands cround Well rigd and drest her owners honor showing Was drawne into the riuer from the grownd Earth smild though loth to leaue them when t was lancht The Water glad of such a burthen danc't 108. The raine-bow Goddesse did alay the wind East North and South were quiet in their caues Only the Westerne gently came behind No storme exciting star troubled the waues VVhen the Prince Palatine with Germaine Gentry Into their barck prepard first made faire entry 109. Then Hymen loos'd the cable from the shore Fortune with good luck spred the silken sailes The graces each in order take an oare While pretty fancy the ship foreward hales Cupid as chiefest Pilot at her helme sate Giuing smooth way that waues winds orewhelm not 110. A multitude of wel mand ' Barks attending This expedition slice the smooth fac'd flood But the braue Admirall more swiftly wending Proceeds like Argo made of AEmon wood Leaues Heidelberg of old men cald Budor●● With Neccars siluer streames and fruitfull shores 111. Emers with hopefull speed the flood-swolne Rhine Salutes the Citie Worms once Baugious ground Auncient Mogunce where printing did begin Drusus toumb Bachreck many a neighbour towne Goar with hundreds more which are his right Mosellas current then appeares in sight 112. Col●n first built by Nero's Agrippine With cloud-high Towres and Temples threatning stars The famous Inlish Champion Gelders Grigne Holland ennobled with sea-search and wars Containing within three score miles short bounds Twentie nine Cities with fowre hundred townes 113. The right hand of the now-enlarged Riuer Leads them vnto the lower Belgick banks Which waters driuen by winds oft couer And when they tooke the seas with ordered ranks The gods allayd all storms winds waues and raine So that they smoothly ran along the maine 114. Then by faire Iris instantly besought A troop of Sea-gods led these gallants on Palaemon on a Dolphins back was brought Neptune by chariot Phorcus and Aegeon On tamed Whales Neptune with his old Queene Swimming on sea-borne horses might be seen 115. Shrill Triton Glaucus each Nimph thither trips Speio thought faire for eyes for haires Thicaea Nerine for brows Thalia for her lips For white neck Leu●othe for paps Nicaea Thetis for feet and Panope for hands For shoulders Melite most admired stands 116. Slender arm'd Galathe with hundreds more Begot by Ne●eus aud made complet faire The Syrens which Vlises tempted sore Shew'd their faire beauties vs'd their voices rare Each had a seuerall fashion of disport Yet all in mirth and musick well consort 117. One seems to stand at gaze another swims Some shew their face some lift their bodies higher Some turne their sides to view some all their lims Some seeme to come yet flie when you come nigher Some leap some diue some walke whereas men could not All would be seen yet seem as if they would not 118. First one then other shews their hides their head Then altogether turne a circle making Another follows when before she fled Now their fine hands now limber arms are shaking Now rise they right and then fall on their backs Then on their brest each way no beauty lacks 119. Their bodies turning in so many shapes Cut furrows in the main make bubbles rise Seeming to flie like hares they play like ape Casting salt water each in others eyes They sprinkle siluer drops on euery ship Like lambs in Aprill they bound wind and skip 120. Part sits on fish to trim their moistned haire Drawing it forth and drying it by Sunne Combs it with ivory teeth and laies it faire Binds it with Coral flowers and Indian stone Part with a watch-word cals for Glaucus flocks And taught them how to daunce amidst the rocks 121. The Daulphin swift the Sea-calfe hugely throted The Lobsters bold the mullets nimbly running The Turbuts soft and Scaves for fatnes noted With all the scaled fish in waters wonning The greater now left eating vp the lesse The lesse came forth to grace this businesse 122. Part of the Nimphs diuided with much ioy To seuerall quires applied their voice and hart In praise of Sea-borne Venus and her boy While Tritons cornet sweetly bore a part All shewing his companie so gracious Made Fredericks iorney not seem tedious 123. Albion appeares ere they were aware And then the Marriners amaine cried land The Prince with hope encreas'd with lessned care Said heartily welcome to mine eyes deare sand Thou Region lov'd of God mother of loue Speed me with swift successe and happy proue 124. While thus he spoke the Nauy sayl'd along Entring the

streams from Thame and Isis flowing Then he commands those that were young and strong To leaue their other works and fall to rowing Vntill they came to London where the band Of Germain Youth with many welcomes land THE THIRD BOOKE ARGVMENT Britans receiue with ioy triumphantly The Princely Suitor Rhein's great PALATINE CONSVS by night moues IAMES his Maiestie ELIZA loue by CVPIDS power diuine A match is made the heauens and earth reioyce And FREDERICK enioyes his royall choice 1. NO sooner tydings to great Brittaine came Of Princely Fredericks arriuall there Whose Vertue mounted on the wings of fame Flies through the world admired euery where But straight our gratious King to grace him more Thus welcoms honourd Honor to the shore 2. Wales royall Prince attended with a traine Of worthiest Nobles and of chiefest blood With many a gallant ship cuts through the mayne Making the Sea seeme like a stately wood The while her shore was hid with people standing So closely troupt to see these Princes landing 3. Where our great Prince with kingly curtefie Giues this great German royall entertain Inuiting to the Court of maiestie His princely selfe with all his honourd train Extending to those Lordings whom he brings Such Iouiall welcoms as proceed from Kings 4. Forth with a stately steed with sparkling eie Whos 's all proportion nature beautified Adorn'd with richest arts Ephippirie Is brought this braue Bauarian on to ride Whence with their Lords in honour through the throng This royall paire of Princes trots along 5. Where the promiscuous people all contending Whose eie should first and most bee fed with sight Of these two Princes to their Palace wending Stopt their faire passage There obserue you might The beggar plac'd before the rich behoulder And yong boies climbing on the graue mans shoulder 6. Here careless runs the scholler from his book There hurles the Smith his hammer from his hand Here leaues the Marchant shop and all to looke And there the Suitor lets his mistres stand Here the suspitious Maeck leaues wife at Venter With millions mo to see this German enter 7. Mo were not seene when proud Romes Consuls went In pompous triumph to their Capitol Nor when to grace their Captains who had spent Their bloods their countries honor to extoll The potent Romans in triumphant sort Receiu'd their victors at their Latian Port. 8. Then when our greatest King our gratious Queene Our mighty Prince with troups of royall states Whose outward graces made their inward seen Receiu'd Prince Frederick at their Courtly gates Whose curious eies employ'd with obseruation Of what he sees strike him with admiration 9. The places yeeld him more then most content 〈◊〉 ●●●●ers habits gestures of our men 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as vncouths all the way he went 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 meaning and then praises them But with so sweet a tongue so comly grace As seem'd an ofspring of imperiall race 10. Perhaps but scarce beleeue I such an one Was the faire louely Phrigian Ganumede Whom rapt from Iila to the Gods being sho wne By mighty Ioue the Gods all wondred His speech grace beauty then perhaps excelld But now by Fredericks more then paraleld 11. Thus the beholders this great Prince commending The Prince beholding and commending all From their faire steedes in royall sort descending Approach great Brittains court imperiall A Court repleat with greater maiesty Then in great Caesars euer mortal see 12. Walles deckt with rich Meonick Imagerie Wrought with Arachnes best Pallaclian hand A cloth of state of Thebane tapestry Where our chiefe Caesars throne of state doth stand Seelings compact of Tellus purest mould Garnisht with bosses of Opherian gold 13. Heer sits our Monarch on his lofty throne And hither he admits this prince of wonder Who to his highnes was no sooner showne Bnt straight discends to this Bauarian vnder VVhere after Kingly gracious embraces Thus gins a speach to giue him further graces 14. VVe ioy great Prince with thanks to you and fate For honouring our Court and Country thus Wishing we could your Grace remunerate Yet towards requitall this receiue from vs What ere our countries yeeld command as free As our apparant heyre to Brittanie 15 Heere Frederick Count Palatine of Rhine Thus makes reply Greatest of greatest Kings To render thankes for your high grace is mine Who is 't that loueth heauen or heauenly things To whom Fame shall report your Godly zeale Your gracious rule of Brittaines Common-weale 16. But straight is mooud like Shebaes royall Queene To seeke the place where Salomen doth liue That he may see the like was neuer seene And heare those lessons only you can giue That he may learne aright to serue his God And rule his contries with a Princely rod 17. It s this high Monarch hath Rheins Palsgraue mooud To heare and see your Princely Maiesty With your faire ofspring whom my heart hath loud With that his cheekes receiue a rubie die Ther stayes where straight as to their royall brother The Prince of Wales and Rhine salute each other 18. With that our regall and resplendent Queene The happy Mother of a hopefull spring In gorgious robes most glorious to behold Presents her selfe before the potent King Where with respect repleat with Maiesty She bids the Prince welcome to Brittanie 19. Next with her golden tresses dangling Which sweetly sport them with her sweeter breath Clad with rich Tissues all with gold bespangling Comes beauties mirror faire Elizabeth This Ioue deseruing Princesse nows adrest To welcome this imperiall German guest 20. With such a speech as Pallas might giue place Such Maiesty as Iuno might amaze Such beauty as faire Venus hide her face All to Eliza yeelding all their praise Ercinia neuer saw so faire a feature Mongst all hir Nimphs as this celestiall creature 21. Struck with amazement of this heauenly sight VVas louely Frederick trembling cold as yce The mighty Prince now wants his manly might And like he is to fall downe in a trice Strange metamorphosis nor had he stood Had not her rosie lips reuiu'd his blood 22. A modest maiden kisse Nectarian sweet Deigns faite Eliza to the danted Reine In whose pure cheeks when both their lips did meet The roses with the Lillies did combine No maruaile for the kisse no sooner done But straight loues fire to kindle was begun 23. She feeles a sparke but knowes not whence it came Her virgin breast nere knew what Cupid meant The spark encreaseth til it prooues a flame Yet ignorant withall of loues intent The person birth and gesture being seen Of Princely Rhein do please this beauties Queene 24. Nor rests it there but what she likes she loues And what she loues desireth to obtaine No lesse then he she louers lawes approoues And feeles no lesse then he a louers paine To look at what she loues she lifts her eye But dare not look for feare som other spy 25. Againe she opes her two caelestiall stars A little twinckling on this princely mirror

Straight shuts them vp within herselfe at warres Loue harts her eye maides modesty strikes terror Thus in loues conflict with chast modesty She loues and feares she sees and dares not see 26. But yet so closly could not this young louer Mooue the faire Orb of her Siderian eyes But straight the louesick Palsgraue could discouer And meet the turn with due obseruancies Hundred ey'd Argus Io nere so tended As he Eliza til these greetings ended 27. This thus and more perform'd in princely sort Dark sable-coulor'd Nox comes trotting on Mounted vpon Allaster from the port Of black Cymmerian pitchy Acheron Phaebus with fiery chariot flies away Post hast to giue Antipodes the day 28. Meane while a guard of gallant Gentlemen Addrest in skarlet liueries euery one With Cognizants first drawne with Pallas pen Then wouen with siluer gold and pretious-stone In which Palladian art did vive appeare King IAMES his arms great Britans Monarch there 29. These worthy Waiters worthy of their places Present their burning tapers 'fore the King Who with the Queen and all those Princely graces Addrest himselfe to Ioviall banqueting Which being done as fitteth Princes best They all retire them to nocturnall rest 30. King IAMES no sooner prest his lofty bed And Somnus comes to close his Princely eyes But Morpheus his fancy wakened And Consus counsels god he straight espies Who softly comes with graue and auncient pace Comely though old with reuerence in his face 31. With his fur'd night-gowne shooes cap for night In his right hand he brings a golden booke Thus he presents himselfe to IAMES his sight Much like old Philon both in speech and look Who for in younger age he taught his Grace His Highnes therfore knew him by his face 32. Who mildly standing at our Soueraignes feet He thus begins to speake with grauitie Great Britans Monarch giue me leaue to greet Thy mighty selfe and then to question thee Why'mongst so many dost thou tosse thy mind A match for faire Elizabeth to find 33. Behold great Ioue by heauens owne direction Hath sent thee one the mirror of his time Whose Auncestry next vnder your protection May with the best compare of Kingly line Whose regiment encreaseth with his yeeres In aequi-pollence to the mightiest peeres 34. More wise he is then young age can affoord Whom mighty Ioue both loues and offers thee He doth professe the same religious Word And link't in Christian league of amity Make this thy Son this Prince will only proue He worthy hers she worthy of his loue 35. Th'emperiall heauens command me tell thee this Which promise thee and them a royall straine Who shall for heauens intentions cannot misse Restore the golden ages back againe This said Mirh-breathing Consus goes his waies Leauing the King halfe sleeping in a maze 36. He with mature deliberation Who 't was was sent and who it was that sent him Together with his pleasing graue relation What good Ioue offer'd and what good he meant him These reasons force quoth he our full consent Being such as one had been sufficient 37. But most of all Religion she doth moue me Which all Kings ought to striue for to the death It 's that great German makes vs most to loue thee And hold thee worthy our Elizabeth Thus Britans Caesar in his thoughts revolv'd And thus he spake and thus he them resolv'd 38. But do you thinke Eliza's rest was peace Thinke you the Princely Virgin was not troubl'd Hersleep was lessened by her thoughts increase On Frederick thinking straight her thoughts were doubl'd To him no sooner thinks he to be kind But straight her Princely selfe comes to her mind 39. Aie me quoth shee what sodaine motion 's this How is my brest clogg'd with a bitter sweet Cupid hath surely ta'ne his shaft amiss Elce how could Feare and Hope together meete I know not how but yet methinks I see Such vncouth passions both at once in me 40. Loue shall not trouble vs were loue so bold To enterprise our royall Vigin brest In vaine it straue to win our maiden hold That nere shall yeild let Cupid do his best Not though loues fire within me were as great As that Octaean or Trinacrian heat 41. Vnlesse my father giue his full consent Vnlesse my King appoint me whom to loue Loues arrowes are in vaine but idly spent And of no force should all loues forces proue Hee 's worthy Loue but aie what bootes to like Vnlesse my father doe the bargaine strike 42.
