SONNET.
ORonta weeps, her bleeding mouth appearsTo mingle Corall with her Christal Tears;Her sad Heart powers it self into those streams,Lest Amolon should scorch it with his flames.
On this rich Bed now snores the Tyrant, blindwith her bright Rayes, and to her Griefs of mind:Here Wine and Sleep into a Stock have turn'dThat sparkling Brand whom lust full ardors burn'd.
Oronta hear Instructions of concern;Thy Angel tels thee this proud HolyfernMust have a Iudith; that the case requiresTo arm thy self with Steel against his fires.
The Virgin B••e can sling, and valour show;If then thou causest not the blood to flowFrom this Inglorious Head, no other ArtCan quench the Coal of his Ignoble Heart.
