108.H06.009  Whilst winds doe all the Trees and hedges stripp
108.H06.010  of Leaues, to furnish rodds enough to whipp
108.H06.011  Thy madnesse from thee, And all springs by frost
108.H06.012  Haue taken cold and theyr sweete murmure lost?
108.H06.013  If thou thy faults or fortunes wouldst lament
108.H06.014  With iust solemnety, doe it in Lent.
108.H06.015  At Court the Spring already aduanced is 
108.H06.016  The Sunne stayes longer vp, And %5%^>yet<%6 not his
108.H06.017  The Glory is.  Far other, other fires
108.H06.018  ffirst Zeale to Prince and State, then Loues desires
108.H06.019  Burne in one brest, And like heauens two great lights
108.H06.020  The first doth gouerne dayes, the other nights.
108.H06.021  And then that early light (w%5ch%6 did appeere
108.H06.022  Before the Sunn and Moone created were)
108.H06.023  The Princes fauo%5r%6, is diffusd o're all
108.H06.024  From w.%5ch%6 all fortunes names and natures fall.
108.H06.025  Then from those wombes of Stars the Brides bright eyes
108.H06.026  At every Glaunce a Constellation flyes
108.H06.027  And sowes the Court with Stars, and doth prevent
108.H06.028  In light and power the all-eyd firmament.
108.H06.029  ffirst her eyes kindle other Ladyes eyes
108.H06.030  Then from theyr beames theyr Iewells lusters rise
108.H06.031  And from theyr Iewells torches do take fire
108.H06.032  And all is warmth and light, and good desire
108.H06.033  Most other Courts, alas, ar like to Hell,
108.H06.034  Where, in darke plotts, fire without light doth dwell
108.H06.035  Or but like stooves (for lust and Envy get
108.H06.036  Continewall (but artificiall) heate.) [CW:Heere--]
108.H06.037  Heere Zeale and Loue growne one all clouds digest [165]
108.H06.038  And make our Court an everlasting East
108.H06.039  And canst thou bee from thence?
108.H06.039a Idios.  No I am there:  
108.H06.040  As Heauen to men disposd is every where:
108.H06.041  So are those Courts whose Princes animate 
108.H06.042  Not onely all theyr house but all theyr state
108.H06.043  Let no man thinke because hee's full hee hath all.
108.H06.044  Kings (as theyr patterne God) are liberall
108.H06.045  Not onely in fulnesse but Capacity
108.H06.046  Enlarging narrow men to feele and see
108.H06.047  And comp%5r%6hend the blessings they bestow:
108.H06.048  So reclus'd Hermits often times doe knowe
108.H06.049  More of heauens Glory then a worldling can.
108.H06.050  As man is of the world: the hart of man
108.H06.051  Is an Epitome of Gods greate booke
108.H06.052  Of Creatures, and Man neede no farther looke:
108.H06.053  So is the Country of Courts, where sweete peace doth,
108.H06.054  As theyr owne com%Mon Soule, giue life to both
108.H06.055  And am I then from Court?
108.H06.055a Alloph:  Dreamer thou art
108.H06.056  Thinkst thou, fantastique, that thou hast a part
108.H06.057  In the East India fleete, because thou hast
108.H06.058  A little Spice or Amber in thy tast?
108.H06.059  Because thou art not frozen, art thou warme?
108.H06.060  Seest thou all good because thou seest no harme? [CW:The--]

108.H06.063  But never shall, except it chance to lye
108.H06.064  So vpward that heauen guild it with his eye.
108.H06.065  As for diuine things fayth comes from aboue
108.H06.066  so for best ciuill vse all tinctures moue
108.H06.067  ffrom higher powers.  ffrom God Religion springs,
108.H06.068  Wisedome and hono%5r%6 from the vse of kings.
108.H06.069  Then vnbeguile thy selfe, And knowe with mee
108.H06.070  That Angels, though on earth employd they bee
108.H06.071  Are still in heauen: so is hee still at home
108.H06.072  That doth abrode to honest Actions come.
108.H06.073  Chide thy selfe then (o%C foole) w.%5ch%6 yesterday
108.H06.074  Mightst haue read more then all thy bookes bewray
108.H06.075  Hast |thou| a History w.%5ch%6 doth present
108.H06.076  A Court, where all Affections doe assent
108.H06.077  Vnto the kings, and that the kings are iust?
108.H06.078  And where it is no Leuity to trust
108.H06.079  Where there is no Ambition but to obay
108.H06.080  Where Men neede whisper Nothing, and yet may
108.H06.081  Where the kings fauours are so plac'd, that all
108.H06.082  ffind that the king therein is liberall
108.H06.083  To them in him, because his fauours bend
108.H06.084  To Vertue vnto w.%5ch%6 they all pretend?
108.H06.085  Thou hast no such: yet heere was %Yall%Z%5%^>this<%6 and more
108.H06.086  An earnest Louer, wise, then, and before
108.H06.087  Our little Cupid hath su'd Lyvery
108.H06.088  And is no more in his Minority [CW: Hee#is--]
108.H06.089  Hee is admitted now into that brest [166]
108.H06.090  Where the Kings Counsells and his Secrets rest
108.H06.091  What hast thou lost, o%C Ignorant man?
108.H06.091a Idios  --I Knewe
108.H06.092  All this, and onely therefore I withdrew
108.H06.093  To knowe and feele all this, and not to haue
108.H06.094  Words to expresse it, makes a man a graue
108.H06.095  Of his owne thoughts.  I would not therefore stay
108.H06.096  At a greate feast, hauing no grace to say
108.H06.097  And yet I scap't not heere, for beeing come
108.H06.098  ffull of the com%Mon Ioye I vtterd some

108.H06.102  No Epitaph w.%5ch%6 might aduance my fame
108.H06.103  So much as this poore song, w.%5ch%6 testifyes

108.H06.111  The passage of the West or East would thaw
108.H06.112  And open wide theyr easy liquid Iaw
