like a good Mathematician Cast vp the Measure of her craggy ball Now thinkes that all doth in his Compasse fall But sayling forth by Compasse Card and Sterne With his owne eyes it to discouer all He many Iles and Regions doth discerne Which neuer by the Map he able was to learne So when I first in Vertues Maps had read Of all the Graces link'd in golden Chaine I thought I had them all discouered And able was their Natures to explaine But more that I doe labour and take paine To tell their Numbers Nature Qualities More numberlesse I find their glorious traine And more admire their Grace and Dignities And more of them I write the more my Muse descry's But none more faire I can amongst them find Than next I write of comely Grauity Which as I said goes linked and combin'd With gentle noble sweet Humanitie Whom follow Constancy and Chastity Attending alwayes on this stately Peere Who for her venerable Maiesty Is to the Queene of Loue her selfe most deare And alwayes tires her face which court'sie washeth cleare Now helpe O heau'nly Queene and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 faire Her to adorne that beautify's you 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And lift my Muse to fly aboue the 〈◊〉 Oh neuer let my fit and fury fall Whil'st I describe this Grace Maiesticall Which with her comely presence doth adorne The Temple Iudgement Seat and Princes Hall With Academies where the Muse was borne And ay defends the ancient from the yongers scorne She is an inward splendour of the mind Which makes the whole man gracious commendable The outward manners which in her we finde Her lookes and gestures faire and delectable Are but as Beames of that bright admirable Transcendent Grace which in her heart doth shine To make words lookes and actions venerable And Dignity and Comelinesse to ioyne With manners Sanctitie which make a man Diuine For sure all reuerend shewes of Grauity Are but externall good expos'd to sight Except they haue fast rooting inwardly And from the heart receiue their Splendour bright As Maiesty is without Goodnesse light So 's Grauity without true holinesse 'T is that which makes vs graue and to delight In sober honesty and comelinesse And to be patternes of all Grace and godlinesse She is that holy Law and Rule of Life Of constancie and gracious manners borne Free from lasciuious Loue or causelesse strife And euer doth most gloriously adorne Him before whom her glorious ensigne's borne She is not lowring hard to equals proud To betters base nor doth inferiours scorne 〈◊〉 wanton loose exulting lowd Her habit looke attire all modesty doth shroud Her Ornaments are not Wealth Strength or Power Sumptuous apparell decking Limbs or face Sweet Chastitie of Manners is her Dower Her outward parts adorn'd with inward Grace These be the ornaments that most her grace Not made by any skilfull hand or Art Vertue the Queene of all things did enchace These workes of wondrous Glory in her heart Wherewith she now adornes and graceth euery part By these she casting out all perturbation Perpetuall tranquillity attaines And shines in Grace which at her first Creation She from the Fountaine of all Grace obtaines And thus she true immortall honour games Not that which leanes on popular vaine blast But that whereby the Queene of Vertue raignes And stands vpon her vertuous thoughts so fast She from the pitch of honour cannot be displas't Hence 't is that who can to this pitch attaine Admits of nought vnseemely to be done His mind no euill cogitations staine His actions chast as mind from whence they come Many indiffirent things are fit for some Which some more graue and noble ill beseeme It doth no Iudge or Magistrate become In seruants habit publique to be seene What Country Maid commends may ill beseeme a Queene Iustly did Philip reprehend his Sonne When to the Harpe he heard him sweetly sing This well saith he soft Ladies doth become But Drums and Trumpets best beseeme a King It is for Clarkes no commendable thing To Hunt Hawke and great Horse for seruice traine Which highest Grace to Gentlemen doth bring Poets may witty pleasant fictions faine Which in a graue Diuine would be accounted vaine Man in Gods Image to be like a Beast Neigh like a Horse grunt swill like to a Swine Such things doth Grauity as base detest Equality and Comelinesse doe shine In her voice speeches countenance diuine In going sitting gestures and deuotions She words perplext contentions doth decline Plaine constant resolute are all her motions Proceeding from her hearts pure wise heau'nly notions Her words fly not at randome all do flow From Fountaine of pure vnderstanding heart Her gestures are not quick nor yet too slow Sweetly seuere consid'rates in each part Her looke's not Cruell nor compos'd by Art Graue and seuere yet gentle liberall Sweet Mistris of the Graces where thou art They are most gracious and comely all Wherefore I them thy Schollers all aright may call Nay rather thy companions Poets feigne Astréa call'd from heau'n with thee to dwell And to put all her Nymphs to thee to traine Them vp in Vertue as beseemeth well To men all gracefull manners thou dost tell Thou teachest Kings to rule their Subiects right Fathers their Duties to their sonnes to spell Seruants to Masters Lady to her Knight No Policy or force without thee rules aright Happy are they thou teachest to eschew All Leuity vaine feare and ostentation Morose rough manners taunts reproach vndue Which shewes a mind subiect to perturbation Delighting in anothers molestation These are like Scorpions whose malignity To all comes from their natures inclination And from their Malice comes Morositie Auerse to all but most to Truth and honesty As Vrchin which hath pricks vpon his skin 'Mongst Thorns and Bryers alwayes takes delight So in all businesse these enter in They vse morose vnciuill barb'rous might They bring within them Malice Gall Spight How-euer be the thing wherein they deale Oh God forbid such base malicious Sprite Be euer Iudge in Iudahs common-weale Such take large Toule but neuer care to grind the meale Some dayes Euripus seu'n times ebbs and flowes Some other dayes nor flowes nor ebbs at all The mouing of this Riuer's like to those That haue not Grauity habituall Vnlike themselues loose sparing prodigall Idle precipite vaine for either part Most earnest vehement patheticall These their owne businesse and friends peruert For want of Grauity and Constance in their heart But Grauitie is like the Ocean maine Into whose Treasure all the Flouds doe flow Which he as constantly sends out againe Yet hereby doth nor lesse nor greater grow He neither swels nor banks doth ouerflow When greater summes his tributaries pay Nor is base sparing when their pay is slow The windes may tosse his waues but not dismay He smiles so soone to see his troubles blowne away As Censor in the Senate-house of Rome So is this Grace amongst the Graces all And as none might into the Senate come
