My next charge is, from this darke Regiment With wiles to scourge this age effeminate; Not open force, or humors violent: Time fashions mindes, mindes manners, manners fate. Here rage giues place, wit must rule ill intent. Proud honor being an ill for this State Too strong; sleight, must misleade the innocent; Craft, the corrupt. For though none dare be iust, Yet coward ill, with care, grow wicked must. This present King, weake both in good, and ill; Louing his trust, and trusting but his ghesse, Shall perish in his owne faiths wantonnesse; Betray'd by Alaham, whom he know'th ill, Yet to beware lackes actiue constantnesse, A destinie of well-beleeuing wit, That hath not strength of iudgement ioyn'd with it. Alaham his sonne; fond of the fathers Throne, Desire his idoll; libertie his might, As ouerborne with error infinite, Shall finde that fate all secret faults can hit: For he, that for himselfe would ruine all, Shall perish in his craft vnnaturall. Hala his wife; diuerse, and strong in lust, Liberall out of selfe-loue, of error proud; When shamelesse craft, and rage haue seru'd her turne, In prides vainglorious martyrdome shall burne. Zophi the eldest Sonne; whose reason is With frailty drown'd, and sillinesse consus'd; Borne but to liue, and yet denied this, (So well knowes power what spirits may be abus'd) Becomes the prey of factious craftie wit, Which stirres that ruine vp, which ruines it. Caine Bassha (like the clouds, who liue in ayre, Th'orbe of natures constant inconstancie) Now fame, now shame shall in his fortune beare; His vice, and vertue still in infancy: Change for his wisdome; and chance for his ends; Harm'd by his hopes, and ruin'd by his friends. Mahomet, with honor faine would change the tide Of times corrupt; here stopping violence, There contermining craft, and pleading right; But reason sworne in generall to sense Makes honor, bondage; iustice, an offence: Till liberty, that faire deceiuing light, Turnes mischiefe to an humor popular, Where good men catch'd in nets of dutie are. Caelica (because in flesh no seedes are sowne Of heauenly grace, but they must bring vp weedes) Death in her fathers murther she affects, Seduc'd by glory; whose excesse still feedes It selfe, vpon the barren steepes of mone. For humane wit wants power to diuide, Wherby affections into error slide. Heli the priest; who teaching from without, Corrupted faith, bound vnder lawes of might; Not feeling God, yet blowing him about, In euery shape, and likenesse, but the right; Seeking the world; finds change there ioyn'd with chance, To ruine those whom error would advance. Now marke your charge! Each fury worke his part, In senselesse webs of mischiefe ouerthwart. You are not now to worke on priuate thoughts, One instant is your time to alter all; Corruption vniuersall must be wrought: Impossible to you is naturall. Plots, and effects together must be brought; Mischiefe, and shame, at once must spring, and fall. Vse more than power of man to bring forth that, Which (it is meant) all men shall wonder at.
