DIGNUM LAUDE VIRUM MUSA VETAT MORI. HOR.

TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE ROBERT, EARL OF OXFORD AND EARL MORTIMER.

[]
SUCH were the notes thy once lov'd Poet ſung,
'Till death untimely ſtop'd his tuneful tongue.
O juſt beheld, and loſt! admir'd, and mourn'd!
With ſofteſt manners, gentleſt arts, adorn'd!
Bleſt in each ſcience, bleſt in ev'ry ſtrain!
Dear to the Muſe, to HARLEY dear—in vain!
FOR him, thou oft haſt bid the world attend,
Fond to forget the ſtateſman in the friend;
For SWIFT and him, deſpis'd the farce of ſtate,
The ſober follies of the wiſe and great;
Dextrous, the craving, fawning crowd to quit,
And pleas'd to 'ſcape from flattery to wit.
ABSENT or dead, ſtill let a friend be dear,
(A ſigh the abſent claims, the dead a tear)
Recall thoſe nights that clos'd thy toilſome days,
Still hear thy PARNELL in his living lays:
[]Who careleſs, now, of int'reſt, fame, or fate,
Perhaps forgets that OXFORD e'er was great;
Or deeming meaneſt what we greateſt call,
Beholds thee glorious only in thy fall.
And ſure if ought below the ſeats divine
Can touch immortals, 'tis a ſoul like thine:
A ſoul ſupreme, in each hard inſtance try'd,
Above all pain, all anger, and all pride,
The rage of pow'r, the blaſt of public breath,
The luſt of lucre, and the dread of death.
IN vain to deſarts thy retreat is made;
The muſe attends thee to the ſilent ſhade:
'Tis her's, the brave man's lateſt ſteps to trace,
Re-judge his acts, and dignify diſgrace.
When int'reſt calls off all her ſneaking train,
When all th' oblig'd deſert, and all the vain;
She waits, or to the ſcaffold, or the cell,
When the laſt ling'ring friend has bid farewel.
Ev'n now ſhe ſhades thy evening walk with bays,
(No hireling ſhe, no proſtitute to praiſe)
Ev'n now, obſervant of the parting ray,
Eyes the calm ſun-ſet of thy various day,
Thro' fortune's cloud one truly great can ſee,
Nor fears to tell, that MORTIMER is he.

HESIOD: OR, THE RISE OF WOMAN.

WHAT antient times (thoſe times we fancy wiſe)
Have left on long record of Woman's riſe,
What morals teach it, and what fables hide,
What author wrote it, how that author dy'd,
All theſe I ſing. In Greece they fram'd the tale
(In Greece, 'twas thought a Woman might be frail.)
Ye modern beauties! where the poet drew
His ſofteſt pencil, think he dreamt of you;
And warn'd by him, ye wanton pens, beware
How Heav'n's concern'd to vindicate the fair.
The caſe was Heſiod's; he the fable writ;
Some think with meaning, ſome with idle wit:
Perhaps 'tis either, as the ladies pleaſe;
I wave the conteſt, and commence the lays.
In days of yore, (no matter where or when,
'Twas ere the low creation ſwarm'd with men)
That one Prometheus, ſprung of heav'nly birth,
(Our author's ſong can witneſs) liv'd on earth.
[2]He carv'd the turf to mold a manly frame,
And ſtole from Jove his animating flame.
The ſly contrivance o'er Olympus ran,
When thus the monarch of the ſtars began.
Oh vers'd in arts! whoſe daring thoughts aſpire
To kindle clay with never-dying fire!
Enjoy thy glory paſt, that gift was thine;
The next thy creature meets, be fairly mine:
And ſuch a gift, a vengeance ſo deſign'd,
As ſuits the counſel of a God to find;
A pleaſing boſom-cheat, a ſpecious ill,
Which felt thy curſe, yet covet ſtill to feel.
He ſaid, and Vulcan ſtrait the ſire commands,
To temper mortar with etherial hands;
In ſuch a ſhape to mold a riſing fair,
As virgin-goddeſſes are proud to wear;
To make her eyes with diamond-water ſhine,
And form her organs for a voice divine.
'Twas thus the ſire ordain'd; the pow'r obey'd;
And work'd, and wonder'd at the work he made;
The faireſt, ſofteſt, ſweeteſt frame beneath,
Now made to ſeem, now more than ſeem, to breathe.
As Vulcan ends, the chearful Queen of Charms
Claſp'd the new-panting creature in her arms;
From that embrace a fine complexion ſpread,
Where mingled whiteneſs glow'd with ſofter red.
Then in a kiſs ſhe breath'd her various arts,
Of trifling prettily with wounded hearts;
[3]A mind for love, but ſtill a changing mind;
The liſp affected, and the glance deſign'd;
The ſweet confuſing bluſh, the ſecret wink,
The gentle-ſwimming walk, the courteous ſink,
The ſtare for ſtrangeneſs fit, for ſcorn the frown,
For decent yielding looks declining down,
The practis'd languiſh, where well-feign'd deſire
Wou'd own its melting in a mutual fire;
Gay ſmiles to comfort; April ſhow'rs to move;
And all the nature, all the art, of love.
Gold-ſcepter'd Juno next exalts the fair;
Her touch endows her with imperious air,
Self-valuing fancy, highly-creſted pride,
Strong ſov'reign will, and ſome deſire to chide:
For which, an eloquence, that aims to vex,
With native tropes of anger, arms the ſex.
Minerva (ſkilful goddeſs) train'd the maid
To twirl the ſpindle by the twiſting thread,
To fix the loom, inſtruct the reeds to part,
Croſs the long weft, and cloſe the web with art,
An uſeful gift; but what profuſe expence,
What world of faſhions, took its riſe from hence!
Young Hermes next, a cloſe-contriving god,
Her brows encircled with his ſerpent rod:
Then plots and fair excuſes, fill'd her brain,
The views of breaking am'rous vows for gain,
The price of favours; the deſigning arts
That aim at riches in contempt of hearts;
[4]And for a comfort in the marriage life,
The little, pilf'ring temper of a wiſe.
Full on the fair his beams Apollo flung,
And fond perſwaſion tip'd her eaſy tongue;
He gave her words, where oily flatt'ry lays
The pleaſing colours of the art of praiſe;
And wit, to ſcandal exquiſitely prone,
Which frets another's ſpleen to cure its own.
Thoſe ſacred virgins whom the bards revere,
Tun'd all her voice, and ſhed a ſweetneſs there,
To make her ſenſe with double charms abound,
Or make her lively nonſenſe pleaſe by ſound.
To dreſs the maid, the decent Graces brought
A robe in all the dies of beauty wrought,
And plac'd their boxes o'er a rich brocade
Where pictur'd Loves on ev'ry cover play'd;
Then ſpread thoſe implements that Vulcan's art
Had fram'd to merit Cytherea's heart;
The wire to curl, the cloſe indented comb
To call the locks that lightly wander, home;
And chief, the mirrour, where the raviſh'd maid
Beholds and loves her own reflected ſhade.
Fair Flora lent her ſtores, the purpled Hours
Confin'd her treſſes with a wreath of flow'rs;
Within the wreath aroſe a radiant crown;
A veil pellucid hung depending down;
Back roll'd her azure veil with ſerpent fold,
The purfled border deck'd the floor with gold.
[5]Her robe (which cloſely by the girdle brac't
Reveal'd the beauties of a ſlender waſte)
Flow'd to the feet; to copy Venus' air,
When Venus' ſtatues have a robe to wear.
The new-ſprung creature finiſh'd thus for harms,
Adjuſts her habit, practiſes her charms,
With bluſhes glows, or ſhines with lively ſmiles,
Confirms her will, or recollects her wiles:
Then conſcious of her worth, with eaſy pace
Glides by the glaſs, and turning views her face.
A finer flax than what they wrought before,
Thro' time's deep cave the Siſter Fates explore,
Then fix the loom, their fingers nimbly weave,
And thus their toil prophetic ſongs deceive.
Flow from the rock, my flax! and ſwiftly flow,
Purſue thy thread; the ſpindle runs below.
A creature fond and changing, fair and vain,
The creature Woman, riſes now to reign.
New beauty blooms, a beauty form'd to fly;
New love begins, a love produc'd to dye;
New parts diſtreſs the troubled ſcenes of life,
The fondling miſtreſs, and the ruling wife.
Men, born to labour, all with pains provide;
Women have time, to ſacrifice to pride:
They want the care of man, their want they know,
And dreſs to pleaſe with heart-alluring ſhow,
The ſhow prevailing, for the ſway contend,
And make a ſervant where they meet a friend.
[6]
Thus in a thouſand wax-erected forts
A loitering race the painful bee ſupports,
From ſun to ſun, from bank to bank he flies,
With honey loads his bag, with wax his thighs,
Fly where he will, at home the race remain,
Prune the ſilk dreſs, and murm'ring eat the gain.
Yet here and there we grant a gentle bride,
Whoſe temper betters by the father's ſide;
Unlike the reſt that double human care,
Fond to relieve, or reſolute to ſhare:
Happy the man whom thus his ſtars advance!
The curſe is gen'ral, but the bleſſing chance.
Thus ſung the Siſters, while the gods admire
Their beauteous creature, made for man in ire;
The young Pandora ſhe, whom all contend
To make too perfect not to gain her end:
Then bid the winds that fly to breathe the Spring,
Return to bear her on a gentle wing;
With wafting airs the winds obſequious blow,
And land the ſhining vengeance ſafe below,
A golden coffer in her hand ſhe bore,
(The preſent treach'rous, but the bearer more)
'Twas fraught with pangs; for Jove ordain'd above,
That gold ſhould aid, and pangs attend on love.
Her gay deſcent the man perceiv'd afar,
Wond'ring he run to catch the falling ſtar;
But ſo ſurpriz'd, as none but he can tell,
Who lov'd ſo quickly, and who lov'd ſo well.
[7]O'er all his veins the wand'ring paſſion burns,
He calls her nymph, and ev'ry nymph by turns.
Her form to lovely Venus he prefers,
Or ſwears that Venus' muſt be ſuch as hers.
She, proud to rule, yet ſtrangely fram'd to teize,
Neglects his offers while her airs ſhe plays,
Shoots ſcornful glances from the bended frown,
In briſk diſorder trips it up and down,
Then hums a careleſs tune to lay the ſtorm,
And ſits, and bluſhes, ſmiles; and yields, in form.
"Now take what Jove deſign'd (ſhe ſoftly cry'd)
"This box thy portion, and myſelf thy bride:"
Fir'd with the proſpect of the double charms,
He ſnatch'd the box, and bride, with eager arms.
Unhappy man! to whom ſo bright ſhe ſhone:
The fatal gift, her tempting ſelf, unknown!
The winds were ſilent, all the waves aſleep,
And heav'n was trac'd upon the flatt'ring deep;
But whilſt he looks unmindful of a ſtorm,
And thinks the water wears a ſtable form,
What dreadful din around his ears ſhall riſe!
What frowns confuſe his picture of the ſkies!
At firſt the creature man was fram'd alone,
Lord of himſelf, and all the world his own.
For him the nymphs in green forſook the woods,
For him the nymphs in blue forſook the floods;
In vain the Satyrs rage, the Tritons rave,
They bore him heroes in the ſecret cave.
[8]No care deſtroy'd, no ſick diſorder prey'd,
No bending age his ſprightly form decay'd,
No wars were known, no females heard to rage,
And Poets tell us, 'twas a golden age.
When Woman came, thoſe ills the box confin'd
Burſt furious out, and poiſon'd all the wind,
From point to point, from pole to pole they flew,
Spread as they went, and in the progreſs grew:
The nymphs regretting left the mortal race,
And alt'ring nature wore a ſickly face;
New terms of folly roſe, new ſtates of care;
New plagues, to ſuffer, and to pleaſe, the fair!
The days of whining, and of wild intrigues,
Commenc'd, or finiſh'd, with the breach of leagues;
The mean deſigns of well-diſſembled love;
The ſordid matches never join'd above;
Abroad, the labour, and at home the noiſe,
(Man's double ſuff'rings for domeſtic joys)
The curſe of jealouſy; expence, and ſtrife;
Divorce, the public brand of ſhameful life;
The rival's ſword; the qualm that takes the fair;
Diſdain for paſſion, paſſion in deſpair—
Theſe, and a thouſand, yet unnam'd, we find;
Ah fear the thouſand, yet unnam'd behind!
Thus on Parnaſſus tuneful Heſiod ſung,
The mountain echo'd, and the valley rung,
The ſacred groves a fix'd attention ſhow,
The chryſtal Helicon forbore to flow,
[9]The ſky grew bright, and (if his verſe be true)
The Muſes came to give the laurel too.
But what avail'd the verdant prize of wit,
If Love ſwore vengeance for the tales he writ?
Ye fair offended, hear your friend relate
What heavy judgment prov'd the writer's fate,
Tho' when it happen'd, no relation clears,
'Tis thought in five, or five and twenty years.
Where, dark and ſilent, with a twiſted ſhade
The neighb'ring woods a native arbour made,
There oft a tender pair for am'rous play
Retiring, toy'd the raviſh'd hours away;
A Locrian youth, the gentle Troilus he,
A fair Mileſian, kind Evanthe ſhe:
But ſwelling nature in a fatal hour
Betray'd the ſecrets of the conſcious bow'r;
The dire diſgrace her brothers count their own,
And track her ſteps, to make its author known.
It chanc'd one evening, ('twas the lover's day)
Conceal'd in brakes the jealous kindred lay;
When Heſiod wand'ring, mus'd along the plain,
And fix'd his ſeat where love had fix'd the ſcene;
A ſtrong ſuſpicion ſtrait poſſeſt their mind,
(For poets ever were a gentle kind.)
But when Evanthe near the paſſage ſtood,
Flung back a doubtful look, and ſhot the wood,
"Now take (at once they cry) thy due reward,"
And urg'd with erring rage, aſſault the bard.
[10]His corps the ſea receiv'd. The dolphins bore
('Twas all the Gods would do) the corps to ſhore.
Methinks I view the dead with pitying eyes,
And ſee the dreams of antient wiſdom riſe;
I ſee the Muſes round the body cry,
But hear a Cupid loudly laughing by;
He wheels his arrow with inſulting hand,
And thus inſcribes the moral on the ſand.
"Here Heſiod lies: ye future bards, beware
"How far your moral tales incenſe the fair:
"Unlov'd, unloving, 'twas his fate to bleed;
"Without his quiver Cupid caus'd the deed:
"He judg'd this turn of malice juſtly due,
"And Heſiod dy'd for joys he never knew."

SONG.

[11]
WHEN thy beauty appears,
In its graces and airs,
All bright as an angel new dropt from the ſky;
At diſtance I gaze, and am aw'd by my fears,
So ſtrangely you dazzle my eye!
But when without art,
Your kind thoughts you impart,
When your love runs in bluſhes thro' ev'ry vein;
When it darts from your eyes, when it pants in your heart,
Then I know you're a woman again.
There's a paſſion and pride
In our ſex (ſhe reply'd)
And thus (might I gratify both) I wou'd do:
Still an angel appear to each lover beſide,
But ſtill be a woman to you.

A SONG.

[12]
THYRSIS, a young and am'rous ſwain,
Saw two, the beauties of the plain;
Who both his heart ſubdue:
Gay Caelia's eyes were dazzling fair,
Sabina's eaſy ſhape and air
With ſofter magic drew.
He haunts the ſtream, he haunts the grove;
Lives in a fond romance of love,
And ſeems for each to die;
'Till each a little ſpiteful grown,
Sabina Caelia's ſhape ran down,
And ſhe Sabina's eye.
Their envy made the ſhepherd find
Thoſe eyes, which love could only blind;
So ſet the lover free:
No more he haunts the grove or ſtream,
Or with a true-love knot and name
Engraves a wounded tree.
Ah Caelia! (ſly Sabina cry'd)
Tho' neither love, we're both deny'd;
Now to ſupport the ſex's pride,
[13]Let either fix the dart.
Poor girl! (ſays Caelia) ſay no more;
For ſhou'd the ſwain but one adore,
That ſpite which broke his chains before,
Wou'd break the other's heart.

SONG.

MY days have been ſo wond'rous free,
The little birds that fly
With careleſs eaſe from tree to tree,
Were but as bleſs'd as I.
Aſk gliding waters, if a tear
Of mine encreas'd their ſtream?
Or aſk the flying gales, if e'er
I lent one ſigh to them?
But now my former days retire,
And I'm by beauty caught,
The tender chains of ſweet deſire
Are fix'd upon my thought.
Ye nightingales, ye twiſting pines!
Ye ſwains that haunt the grove!
Ye gentle echoes, breezy winds!
Ye cloſe retreats of love!
[14]
With all of nature, all of art,
Aſſiſt the dear deſign;
O teach a young unpractis'd heart,
To make my Nancy mine.
The very thought of change I hate,
As much as of deſpair;
Nor ever covet to be great,
Unleſs it be for her.
'Tis true, the paſſion in my mind
Is mix'd with ſoft diſtreſs;
Yet while the fair I love is kind,
I cannot wiſh it leſs.

ANACREONTIC.

[15]
WHEN Spring came on with freſh delight,
To cheer the ſoul, and charm the ſight,
While eaſy breezes, ſofter rain,
And warmer ſuns ſalute the plain;
'Twas then, in yonder piny grove,
That Nature went to meet with Love.
Green was her robe, and green her wreath,
Where-e'er ſhe trod, 'twas green beneath;
Where-e'er ſhe turn'd, the pulſes beat
With new recruits of genial heat;
And in her train the birds appear,
To match for all the coming year.
Rais'd on a bank, where daizys grew,
And vi'lets intermix'd a blue,
She finds the boy ſhe went to find;
A thouſand pleaſures wait behind,
Aſide, a thouſand arrows ly,
But all unfeather'd wait to fly.
When they met, the Dame and Boy,
Dancing Graces, idle Joy,
Wanton Smiles, and airy Play,
Conſpir'd to make the ſcene be gay;
Love pair'd the birds through all the grove,
And Nature bid them ſing to Love,
[16]Sitting, hopping, flutt'ring, ſing,
And pay their tribute from the wing,
To fledge the ſhafts that idly ly,
And yet unfeather'd wait to fly.
'Tis thus, when Spring renews the blood,
They meet in ev'ry trembling wood,
And thrice they make the plumes agree,
And ev'ry dart they mount with three,
And ev'ry dart can boaſt a kind,
Which ſuits each proper turn of mind.
From the tow'ring Eagle's plume
The gen'rous Hearts accept their doom;
Shot by the Peacock's painted eye
The vain and airy lovers dye:
For careful dames and frugal men,
The ſhafts are ſpeckled by the Hen.
The Pyes and Parrots deck the darts,
When Prattling wins the panting hearts:
When from the Voice the paſſions ſpring,
The warbling Finch affords a wing:
Together, by the Sparrow ſtung,
Down fall the wanton and the young:
And fledg'd by Geeſe the weapons fly,
When others love they know not why.
All this (as late I chanc'd to rove)
I learn'd in yonder waving grove.
And ſee, ſays Love, (who call'd me near)
How much I deal with Nature here,
[17]How both ſupport a proper part,
She gives the feather, I the dart:
Then ceaſe for ſouls averſe to ſigh,
If Nature croſs ye, ſo do I;
My weapon there unfeather'd flies,
And ſhakes and ſhuffles through the ſkies.
But if the mutual charms I find
By which ſhe links you, mind to mind,
They wing my ſhafts, I poize the darts,
And ſtrike from both, through both your hearts.

ANACREONTIC.

GAY Bacchus liking Eſtcourt's wine,
A noble meal beſpoke us;
And for the gueſts that were to dine,
Brought Comus, Love, and Jocus.
The God near Cupid drew his chair,
Near Comus, Jocus plac'd;
For Wine makes Love forget its care,
And Mirth exalts a feaſt.
The more to pleaſe the ſprightly God,
Each ſweet engaging Grace
Put on ſome cloaths to come abroad,
And took a waiter's place.
[18]
Then Cupid nam'd at every glaſs
A lady of the ſky;
While Bacchus ſwore he'd drink the laſs,
And had it bumper-high.
Fat Comus toſt his brimmers o'er,
And always got the moſt;
Jocus took care to fill him more,
When-e'er he miſs'd the toaſt.
They call'd, and drank at every touch;
He fill'd, and drank again;
And if the gods can take too much,
'Tis ſaid, they did ſo then.
Gay Bacchus little Cupid ſtung,
By reck'ning his deceits.
And Cupid mock'd his ſtamm'ring tongue,
With all his ſtagg'ring gaits:
And Jocus droll'd on Comus' ways,
And tales without a jeſt;
While Comus call'd his witty plays
But waggeries at beſt.
Such talk ſoon ſet 'em all at odds;
And, had I Homer's pen,
I'd ſing ye, how they drunk like gods,
And how they fought, like men.
[19]
To part the fray, the Graces fly,
Who make 'em ſoon agree;
Nay, had the furies ſelves been nigh,
They ſtill were three to three.
Bacchus appeas'd, rais'd Cupid up,
And gave him back his bow;
But kept ſome darts to ſtir the cup,
Where ſack and ſugar flow.
Jocus took Comus' roſy crown,
And gayly wore the prize,
And thrice, in mirth, he puſh'd him down,
As thrice he ſtrove to riſe.
Then Cupid ſought the myrtle grove,
Where Venus did recline,
And Venus cloſe embracing Love,
They join'd to rail at wine.
And Comus loudly curſing Wit,
Roll'd off to ſome retreat,
Where boon companions gravely ſit
In fat unweildy ſtate.
Bacchus and Jocus, ſtill behind,
For one freſh glaſs prepare;
They kiſs, and are exceeding kind,
And vow to be ſincere.
[20]
But part in time, whoever hear
This our inſtructive ſong;
For tho' ſuch friendſhips may be dear,
They can't continue long.

A FAIRY TALE IN THE ANTIENT ENGLISH STYLE.

IN Britain's iſle and Arthur's days,
When midnight Faeries daunc'd the maze,
Liv'd Edwin of the green,
Edwin, I wis, a gentle youth,
Endow'd with courage, ſenſe and truth,
Tho' badly ſhap'd he been.
His mountain back mote well be ſaid
To meaſure heigth againſt his head,
And lift itſelf above:
Yet ſpite of all that nature did
To make his uncouth form forbid,
This creature dar'd to love.
[21]
He felt the charms of Edith's eyes,
Nor wanted hope to gain the prize,
Cou'd ladies look within;
But one Sir Topaz dreſs'd with art,
And, if a ſhape cou'd win a heart,
He had a ſhape to win.
Edwin (if right I read my ſong)
With ſlighted paſſion pac'd along
All in the moony light:
'Twas near an old enchaunted court,
Where ſportive Faeries made reſort
To revel out the night.
His heart was drear, his hope was croſs'd,
'Twas late, 'twas farr, the path was loſt
That reach'd the neighbour-town;
With weary ſteps he quits the ſhades,
Reſolv'd the darkling dome he treads,
And drops his limbs adown.
But ſcant he lays him on the floor,
When hollow winds remove the door,
A trembling rocks the ground:
And (well I ween to count aright)
At once an hundred tapers light
On all the walls around.
[22]
Now ſounding tongues aſſail his ear,
Now ſounding feet approachen near,
And now the ſounds encreaſe,
And from the corner where he lay
He ſees a train profuſely gay
Come pranckling o'er the place.
But (truſt me Gentles!) never yet
Was dight a maſquing half ſo neat,
Or half ſo rich before;
The country lent the ſweet perfumes,
The ſea the pearl, the ſky the plumes,
The town its ſilken ſtore.
Now whilſt he gaz'd, a Gallant dreſt
In flaunting robes above the reſt,
With awfull accent cry'd;
What Mortall of a wretched mind,
Whoſe ſighs infect the balmy wind,
Has here preſum'd to hide?
At this the Swain, whoſe vent'rous ſoul
No fears of Magic art controul,
Advanc'd in open ſight;
'Nor have I cauſe of dreed, he ſaid,
'Who view (by no preſumption led)
'Your revels of the night.
[23]
''Twas grief, for ſcorn of faithful love,
'Which made my ſteps unweeting rove
'Amid the nightly dew.'
'Tis well, the Gallant cries again,
We Faeries never injure men
Who dare to tell us true.
Exalt thy love-dejected heart,
Be mine the taſk, or ere we part,
To make thee grief reſign;
Now take the pleaſure of thy chaunce;
Whilſt I with Mab my part'ner daunce,
Be little Mable thine.
He ſpoke, and all a ſudden there
Light muſic floats in wanton air;
The Monarch leads the Queen:
The reſt their Faerie partners found,
And Mable trimly tript the ground
With Edwin of the green.
The dauncing paſt, the board was laid,
And ſiker ſuch a feaſt was made
As heart and lip deſire;
Withouten hands the diſhes fly,
The glaſſes with a wiſh come nigh,
And with a wiſh retire.
[24]
But now to pleaſe the Faerie King,
Full ev'ry deal they laugh and ſing,
And antic feats deviſe;
Some wind and tumble like an ape,
And other-ſome tranſmute their ſhape
In Edwin's wond'ring eyes.
'Till one at laſt that Robin hight,
(Renown'd for pinching maids by night)
Has hent him up aloof;
And full againſt the beam he flung,
Where by the back the Youth he hung
To ſpraul unneath the roof.
From thence, "Reverſe my charm, he crys,
"And let it fairly now ſuffice
"The gambol has been ſhown."
But Oberon anſwers with a ſmile,
Content thee Edwin for a while,
The vantage is thine own.
Here ended all the phantome play;
They ſmelt the freſh approach of day,
And heard a cock to crow;
The whirling wind that bore the crowd
Has clap'd the door, and whiſtled loud,
To warn them all to go.
[25]
Then ſcreaming all at once they fly,
And all at once the tapers dy;
Poor Edwin falls to floor;
Forlorn his ſtate, and dark the place,
Was never wight in ſike a caſe
Through all the land before.
But ſoon as dan Apollo roſe,
Full jolly creature home he goes,
He feels his back the leſs;
His honeſt tongue and ſteady mind
Han rid him of the lump behind
Which made him want ſucceſs,
With luſty livelyhed he talks,
He ſeems a dauncing as he walks,
His ſtory ſoon took wind;
And beauteous Edith ſees the youth,
Endow'd with courage, ſenſe and truth,
Without a bunch behind.
The ſtory told, Sir Topaz mov'd,
(The youth of Edith erſt approv'd)
To ſee the revel ſcene:
At cloſe of eve he leaves his home,
And wends to find the ruin'd dome
All on the gloomy plain.
[26]
As there he bides, it ſo befell,
The wind came ruſtling down a dell,
A ſhaking ſeiz'd the wall:
Up ſpring the tapers as before,
The Faeries bragly foot the floor,
And muſic fills the hall.
But certes ſorely ſunk with woe
Sir Topaz ſees the Elphin ſhow,
His ſpirits in him dy:
When Oberon cries, 'a Man is near,
'A mortall paſſion, cleeped fear,
'Hangs flagging in the ſky.'
With that Sir Topaz (hapleſs youth!)
In accents fault'ring ay for ruth
Intreats them pity graunt;
For als he been a miſter wight
Betray'd by wand'ring in the night
To tread the circled haunt;
'Ah loſell vile, at once they roar!
'And little ſkill'd of Faerie lore,
'Thy cauſe to come we know:
'Now has thy keſtrell courage fell;
'And Faeries, ſince a ly you tell,
'Are free to work thee woe.'
[27]
Then Will, who bears the wiſpy fire
To trail the ſwains among the mire,
The caitive upward flung;
There like a tortoiſe in a ſhop
He dangled from the chamber-top,
Where whilome Edwin hung.
The revel now proceeds apace,
Deffly they friſk it o'er the place,
They ſit, they drink, and eat;
The time with frolic mirth beguile,
And poor Sir Topaz hangs the while
'Till all the rout retreat.
By this the ſtarrs began to wink,
They ſkriek, they fly, the tapers ſink,
And down ydrops the knight.
For never ſpell by Faerie laid
With ſtrong enchantment bound a glade
Beyond the length of night.
Chill, dark, alone, adreed, he lay,
'Till up the welkin roſe the day,
Then deem'd the dole was o'er:
But wot ye well his harder lot?
His ſeely back the Bunch has got
Which Edwin loſt afore.
[28]
This tale a Sybil-Nurſe ared;
She ſoftly ſtrok'd my youngling head,
And when the tale was done,
'Thus ſome are born, my ſon (ſhe cries)
'With baſe impediments to riſe,
'And ſome are born with none.
'But virtue can itſelf advance
'To what the fav'rite fools of chance
'By fortune ſeem'd deſign'd;
'Virtue can gain the odds of fate,
'And from itſelf ſhake off the weight
'Upon th'unworthy Mind.

THE VIGIL OF VENUS.
WRITTEN IN THE TIME OF JULIUS CAESAR, AND BY SOME ASCRIBED TO CATULLUS.
