Ad PYRRHAM. O DE V. Horatius ex Pyrrhæ illecebris tanquam è naufragio enataverat, cujus amore irretitos affirmat effe miferos. Q UIS multa gracilis te puer in rosa Cui flavam religas comam Simplex munditiis? heu quoties fidem Emirabitur infolens! Qui nunc te fruitur credulus aurea, Qui femper vacuam femper amabilem Intentata nites. Me tabula facer Votiva paries indicat uvida Suspendisse potenti Veftimenta maris Deo. 5 10 15 On XIX. On the new forcers of confcience under the LONG PARLAMENT. Ecause BE you have thrown off your Prelate Lord, And with stiff vows renounc'd his Liturgy, To feise the widow'd whore Plurality From them whose fin ye envied, not abhorr'd, Dare ye for this adjure the civil fword 5 To force our confciences that Christ set free, And ride us with a claffic hierarchy Taught ye by mere A. S. and Rotherford? Men whofe life, learning, faith and pure intent Would have been held in high efteem with Paul, Must now be nam'd and printed Heretics By shallow Edwards and Scotch what d'ye call: But we do hope to find out all your tricks, Your plots and packing worfe than thofe of Trent, That fo the Parlament II May with their wholsome and preventive fhears 16 Clip your phylacteries, though bauk your ears, And fuccour our just fears, When they shall read this clearly in your charge, New Presbyter is but Old Prieft writ large. 20 SONNETS. I. To the NIGHTINGALE. Nightingale, that on yon bloomy spray Warbleft at eve, when all the woods are ftill, Thou with fresh hope the lover's heart doft fill, While the jolly hours lead on propitious May. Thy liquid notes that close the eye of day, 5 First heard before the fhallow cuccoo's bill, Portend fuccefs in love; O if Jove's will Have link'd that amorous pow'r to thy foft lay, Now timely fing, ere the rude bird of hate Foretel my hopeless doom in some grove nigh; 10 As thou from year to year haft fung too late For my relief, yet hadft no reason why: Whether the Mufe, or Love call thee his mate, Both them I serve, and of their train am I. II. Donna leggiadra il cui bel nome honora Che dolcemente mostra si di fuora De fui atti foavi giamai parco, 5 E E i don', che fon d'amor faette ed La onde l' alta tua virtu s'infiora. Quando tu vaga parli, o lieta canti arco, Che mover poffa duro alpeftre legno, Gratia fola di fu gli vaglia, inanti III. Qual in colle aspro, al imbrunir di sera Va bagnando l'herbetta ftrana e bella Cofi Amor meco infù la lingua fnella E'l bel Tamigi cangio col bel Arno. Canzone.
