TO the vaſte ſkies whilſt ſhoutes and cries rebound,
And buildings eccho with reuerberate ſound,
Strugling to thruſt out of the peopled throng,
Panting for breath flies our elaborate ſong.
That time the day brake from her wonted guiſe,
The Sunne in haſte before his houre did riſe,
And draue the fleet-foote poſting houres ſo faſt,
Which were afeard young Phaeton that was caſt
From his Siers 4 Chariot, reobtain’d the Carre,
To ſet the neighboring Elements at warre.
But whilſt ſweete Zephyre gently ſpreads his wings,
Curles the ſleeke boſomes of th’enamoured ſprings.
With Baulmie ſpices ſo perfumes each place,
Breathing ſuch odors in the mornings face,
That the day ſeem’d all former daies to ſcorne,
And (to compare it) euer ſhould be borne.

Since Norman VVilliams happie conquering:
Where might be ſeene in his freſh blooming hopes,

When the proud French fell on that conquered land,
As the full Corne before the labourers hand.
Vſhering ſo bright and Angellike a Queene,
Whoſe gallant carridge had but Cynthia ſeene,
She might haue learnd her ſiluer brow to beare,
And to haue ſhin’d and ſparckl’d in her ſpheare,
Leading her Ladies on their milkie Steedes,
With ſuch aſpect that each beholder feedes,
As though the lights and beauties of the skies,
Tranſcending dwelt and twinckled in their eies.
Here might you ſee what paſſion wonder wrought,
As it inuades the temper of the thought:
One weepes for ioy, he laughs and claps his hands,
