108.H08.HE3  Allophanes findeing Ideos in the /Countrey this Christmas 
108.H08.HE4  rep%5r%6hends /his absence from Court at this /marriage.  
108.H08.HE5  om om om om om Ideos giues an account 
108.H08.HE6  /of his purpose therein, & of his acco%Mns /there.
108.H08.HE7  Allop: [at the beginning of l.1]
108.H08.001  Vnseasonable man, statue of ice
108.H08.002  What could to countryes solitude intice
108.H08.003  Thee in this yeares cold & decrepit tyme?
108.H08.004  Natures instinct drawes to y%5e%6 warmer clyme
108.H08.005  Euen small birds who by that courage dare
108.H08.006  In numerous fleets saile through y%5t%6 sea y%5e%6 aire;
108.H08.007  What delicacy can in feilds appeare.,
108.H08.008  Whilst fflora herselfe doth a freize-Ierkin \[weare
108.H08.009  Whilst windes doe all the trees, & hedges stripp
108.H08.010  Of leaues to furnish rodds enough to whipp
108.H08.011  Thy madnes from thee; & all springs by frost
108.H08.012  Haue taken cold, & their sweet murmurs lost.
108.H08.013  If thou thy faults & fortunes wouldst lament
108.H08.014  With iust solemnity, doe it in Lent.
108.H08.015  At Court the Springe already aduanced is
108.H08.016  The Sun%M stayes longer vp.  And yet not his 
108.H08.017  The glory is for other; other fires [49v]
108.H08.018  (ffirst zeale to Prince & state, y%5n%6 loues desires)
108.H08.019  Burne in one breast, & like heauens two great lights
108.H08.020  The first doth gouerne dayes, y%5e%6 other nights.
108.H08.021  And then y%5t%6 early light (w%5ch%6 did appeare
108.H08.022  Before the Sun & Moone created were)
108.H08.023  The Princes fauo%5r%6 is diffusd to all,
108.H08.024  from w%5ch%6 all fortunes, names, & natures fall.
108.H08.025  Then from those wombes as starrs y%5e%6 Brides bright eyes
108.H08.026  At euery glance a constellation flyes,
108.H08.027  And sowes the Court w%5th%6 starrs, & doth prevent
108.H08.028  In light & power the all-ey'd firmament.
108.H08.029  ffirst her eyes kindle other Ladyes eyes;
108.H08.030  Then fro%M their beames their iewells luster rise,
108.H08.031  And from their iewells Torches doe take fire
108.H08.032  And all is warmth, & light, & good desire.
108.H08.033  Most other courts alas are like to hell
108.H08.034  Wherein darke plots. fire without light doth dwell.
108.H08.035  Or but like stoues, for lust & envy gett
108.H08.036  Continuall but artificiall heate.
108.H08.037  Here zeale & loue growne one all clouds disgest
108.H08.038  And make a Court an euerlasting East;
108.H08.039  And canst thou bee from thence?
108.H08.039a Ideos.  Noe I am there,
108.H08.040  As heauen to men disposd is euery where;
108.H08.041  So are these Courts whose Princes animate
108.H08.042  Not only all y.%5r%6 house but all their state:
108.H08.043  Lett noe man thinke because hee's full, he hath all;[50]
108.H08.044  Kings as their patterne God are liberall
108.H08.045  Not only in fullnes but capacity
108.H08.046  Enlarging narrow men to feele & see
108.H08.047  And comprehend y%5e%6 blessing they bestow;
108.H08.048  So reclus'd Hermitts oftentymes doe know
108.H08.049  More of heauens glory then a worldling can:
108.H08.050  As man is of the world, the heart of man
108.H08.051  Is an Epitome of gods great booke
108.H08.052  Of creatures, & man needes noe farther looke;
108.H08.053  So is the countrey of Courts when sweet peace doth
108.H08.054  As their owne common soule giue life to both,
108.H08.055  I am not then from Court.
108.H08.055a Alloph:  Dreamer thou art
108.H08.056  Thinkst thou phantastick y%5t%6 thou hast a part
108.H08.057  In the East Indian ffleet, because thou haste
108.H08.058  A little Spice or Amber in thy tast?
108.H08.059  Because thou art not frozen art thou warme?
108.H08.060  See'st thou all good because thou see'st no harme?
108.H08.061  The earth doth in her inward bowells hould
108.H08.062  Stuff well disposd, & w%5ch%6 would faine be gould
108.H08.063  But neuer shall, vnless it chance to lye
108.H08.064  So vpward y%5t%6 heauen guild it w%5th%6 his eye.
108.H08.065  As for diuine things faith comes fro%M aboue,
108.H08.066  So for best ciuill vse all tinctures moue
108.H08.067  ffrom higher powers; from God religion springs
108.H08.068  Wisedome & honour fro%M the vse of Kings.
108.H08.069  Then vnbeguile thy selfe, & know w%5th%6 mee [50v]
108.H08.070  That Angells though on earth imploy'd they bee
108.H08.071  Are still in heauen; soe is hee still at home
108.H08.072  That doth abroad to honest actions come.
108.H08.073  Chide then, thy selfe O ffoole w%5ch%6 yesterday
108.H08.074  Mightst haue read more then all thy bookes bewray.
108.H08.075  Hast thou an history w%5ch%6 doth present
108.H08.076  A Court where all affections doe assent
108.H08.077  Vnto the Kings?  & that that Kings are iust:
108.H08.078  And where it is noe leuity to trust;
108.H08.079  And where %Yit%Z is noe ambition but t'obey,
108.H08.080  Where men need whisper nothing, & yet may;
108.H08.081  Where the Kings fauo%5rs%6 are soe plac'de y%5t%6 all
108.H08.082  ffinde that the King therein is liberall,
108.H08.083  To them in him, because his fauours bend
108.H08.084  To vertue vnto w%5ch%6 they all pretend?
108.H08.085  Thou hast noe such; yet this was here, & more
108.H08.086  An earnest louer wise then, & before
108.H08.087  One little Cupid hath sued liuery,
108.H08.088  And is noe more in his minority;
108.H08.089  Hee is admitted new into that breast
108.H08.090  Where the Kings Counsells, & his secretts rest:
108.H08.091  What has thou left o%C ignorant man?
108.H08.091a Ideos.  I knew
108.H08.092  All this, & only therefore I withdrew
108.H08.093  To know & feele all this, & not to haue
108.H08.094  Words to express it makes a man a graue [51]
108.H08.095  Of his owne thoughts; I would not y%5r%6fore stay
108.H08.096  At a great feast haueing noe grace to say;
108.H08.097  And yet I scap'd not here, for being come
108.H08.098  ffull of the com%Mon ioy I vtterd some.
108.H08.099  Read then this Nuptiall Song, w%5ch%6 was not made
108.H08.100  Either y%5e%6 Court or mens hearts to invade;
108.H08.101  But since I am dead & buryed I could frame
108.H08.102  Noe Epitaph w%5ch%6 might aduance my fame
108.H08.103  Soe much as this poore Song, w%5ch%6 testifyes
108.H08.104  I did vnto that day some sacrifice.

108.H08.105  Thou art repriu'de old yeare, thou shalt not dye[trimmed]
108.H08.106  Though thou vpon thy death-bedd lye,
108.H08.107  And should'st within fiue dayes expire
108.H08.108  Yet thou art rescu'de by a mightyer fire
108.H08.109  Then thy old soule the Sunn
108.H08.110  When hee doth in his largest circle runn.
108.H08.111  The passage of the West & East would thaw
108.H08.112  And open wide their easy liquid iaw
108.H08.113  To all our Shipps, could a Promethean art
108.H08.114  Either vnto the Northerne Pole impart
108.H08.115  Y%5e%6 fire of these inflaming eyes, or of this loueing heart[trimmed]

108.H08.116  But vndiscerning Muse, w%5ch%6 heart, w%5ch%6 eyes
108.H08.117  In this new couple dost thou prize?
108.H08.118  When his eye as inflameing is
108.H08.119  As hers, & her heart loues as well as his.
108.H08.120  Be tryde by beauty, & than
108.H08.121  The Bridegroome is a mayde, & not a man;
108.H08.122  If by y%5t%6 manly courage they be try'de
108.H08.123  W%5ch%6 scornes vniust opinion, loe then y%5e%6 Bride
108.H08.124  Becomes a man:  Should chance or Envyes arte
108.H08.125  Diuide these two, whom Nature scarse did part?
108.H08.126  Since both haue both th'inflaming eyes, & both a louing heart.

108.H08.127  Though it bee some diuorce to think of you
108.H08.128  Singly, soe much one are you two
108.H08.129  Let mee here contemplate thee
108.H08.130  ffirst cheerefull Brydegroome, & first lett mee see
108.H08.131  How thou preventst the Sunn;
108.H08.132  And his redd-flaming horses dost out-runn;
108.H08.133  How haueing layd downe in thy Sou%5r%6aignes breast
108.H08.134  All businesses, from thence to reinvest
108.H08.135  Them when these triumphes cease, y%5u%6 forward art
108.H08.136  To shew to her, who doth the like impart
108.H08.137  The fire of thy inflaming eyes, & of thy loueing heart.
108.H08.137a om
108.H08.137b 4 %1Raising of the Bride%2. [52]
108.H08.138  But now to thee fayre Bride it is some wronge
108.H08.139  To thinke thou art in bed so longe,
108.H08.140  Since soone thou lyest downe first, tis fitt
108.H08.141  Thou in first riseing shouldst allow for it;
108.H08.142  Powder thy radiant haire
108.H08.143  Which if without such ashes thou shouldst weare,
108.H08.144  Thou, w%5ch%6, to all w%5ch%6 come to looke vpon
108.H08.145  Art meant for Phae%Lbus, wouldst proue Phaeton.
108.H08.146  ffor our ease giue thine eyes th' vnusuall part
108.H08.147  Of ioy a teare.  So quenchd thou mayst impart
108.H08.148  To vs y.%5t%6 come thy inflameing eyes, to him thy loueing heart[trimmed]

108.H08.149  Thus thou descend'st to our infirmity
108.H08.150  Who can the Sun in water see,
108.H08.151  Soe dost thou when in silke & gold
108.H08.152  Thou cloud'st thy selfe; since wee w%5ch%6 doe behould
108.H08.153  Are dust & wormes, tis iust
108.H08.154  Our obiects bee the fruite of wormes & dust.
108.H08.155  Let euery iewell bee a glorious starre,
108.H08.156  Yet starrs are not soe pure as their spheares are,
108.H08.157  So though thou stoope t'appeare to vs in part
108.H08.158  Still in that picture thou entirely art
108.H08.159  W%5ch%6 thy inflameing eyes haue made w%5th%6in his loueing heart[trimmed]

108.H08.166  The Church Triumphant made this match before
108.H08.167  And now the Militant doth striue noe more.
108.H08.168  Thou reuerend Preist, who Gods Recorder art
108.H08.169  Doe from *#his Dictates vnto these two impart
