Vnquiet anguishments and iealous feareFly from any thoughts, like night before the Sunne:I'me lifted to the highest Spheare of ioy,My top inuelopt in the azure cloud,And starry rich habiliments: my feeteSet rampant on the face of Natures pride,The rarest worke weau'd by her handmayd ArtCloathes my soft pleasures, I'me as great as Ioue.Onely I rule below, he raignes aboue.Oh! the vnspoken beauty of a Crowne,Whose empty speculation mounts my souleVp to an heauenly Paradise of thoughts.Father, I come that thou may'st crowne my head,Whilst apprehensiue reason stands amaz'd,Amidst the blisfull shades of sweet conceit.Then I'le call back my wandring intellectFrom dreames, and those imaginary ioyes,I'le teach my soule to twine about a Crowne
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
To sweat in raptures, to fill vp a ThroneWith the bigge-swelling lookes of Majestie,I'leamble through a pleasures Labyrinth,And wander in the path of happinesse,As the true obiect of that faculty.Great Baiazet I come. Thou must descendFrom Honours high Throne, and put off thy rightTo build me vp an heauen of choyse delight.
Exit.
