The Triumphs of Loue

IF Forreine Nations haue beene
ſtruck with admiration at the
Forme, State, and Splendour of
ſome yearly Triumphs, where
in Art hath bene but weakely
imitated, and moſt beggerly
worded: there is faire hope that things where
Inuention flouriſhes, Cleare Art and her gracefull
proprieties, ſhould receiue fauour and encourage
ment from the content of the Spectator, which
(next to the ſeruice of his Honour, and honoura
ble Society) is the principall Reward it looks for;
and not deſpairing of that common fauor (which
is often caſt vpon the vndeſeruer, through the
diſtreſſe and miſerie of Iudgement) this takes de
light to preſent it ſelfe.

So many yeares Thou gainſt, that ſome haue loſt;
For they that thinke their Care is at great coſt
If they do any good, in Time ſo ſmall,
They make their Yeare but a poore Day in all.
For as a Learned Man, will comprehend

Which giue another a whole yeare to mend,

So the Iudicious vvhen he comes to beare
This powerfull Office, ſtrucke vvith Diuine feare,
Collects his ſpirits, redeemes his howres with care,
Thinkes of his Charge, and Oath, what Tyes they are,
And with a Vertuous Reſolution then
Workes more good in one yeare, then ſome in Ten.
Nor is this ſpoken any to detract,
But all t’encourage to put Truth in Act.

I Was the firſt, Graue Lord, that welcomde Thee
To this Dayes Honor, and I ſpake it free,
Iuſt as in euery heart I found it plac’ſt,
And tis my turne againe now to ſpeake laſt;
For loue is circular (like the bright Sunne,)
And takes delight to end where it begun,
Though indeed neuer ending, in true Will,
But rather may be ſayd beginning ſtill;
As all great workes are of Cæleſtiall Birth,
Of which, Loue is the Chiefe in Heauen and Earth.
To what Bleſt ſtate then are thy Fortunes come,
Since, That both brought thee forth, and brings thee (home?
Now, as in common courſe which cleeres things beſt,
Ther’s no free gift but lookes for thankes at leaſt;

Expect ſome faire Requitall from the Man
They’ue all ſo largely Honord. What’s deſirde?
That which in Conſcience ought to be requirde,
Oh thanke ’em in thy Iustice, in thy Care,
Zeale to right wrongs, Workes that are cleere & faire,
