Then on: When thoughts vnite all care is ceas'd; The heart, vnfetter'd and the hope increas'd. Out of his death I see occasion borne, To greater power than needs to couer scorne. For he the Iustice rules, you rule the Warre; His death diuided powers will vnite: And in a broken course where dangers be, Only the Crowne can put off miserie. Farre be it off, our hopes should be so vaine. Our secret loue already tempteth God, To warre him more with infidelity, Would hasten vengeance, and make sharpe his rod. God made strict lawes for vertues exercise, An idle word, a wish transgresseth them: Yet in a Throne remorse hath glorious eyes. Alaham doth vndermine the present State: When he corrupted hath the peoples faith, Thou hast the sword: authority makes way, Her hand is next when Crownes become a prey. We God and man will first trie with the death Of Mahomet: If that doe passe for good, Hope easily makes occasion vnderstood. The end agree'd, the meanc is yet in doubt. By sword. That will be easie to descrie; Danger to misse; and hard to doe without. By poyson then; wherof though doubts may grow, What one alone may doe, is hard to know. It often failes: For instruments are base; Slaues haue too slauish hearts; a Basshas name Is like a superstitious hallowed place. Men must be forc'd, or wise that force the same. By these two hands, that will not faile their heart, It shall be wrought. If poyson misse, the sword shall compasse it: When chances often scape, at last they hit. Fortune, and Loue! Both Gods of humane might, You like aduenture, see it rightly plac'd: You liue in kindnesse, see it not disgrac'd: What I haue vow'd, both God, and Nature hate; My heart misgiues; my soule doth prophecie, That euill thoughts procure an euill fate. But ah! my loue I gaue, and it gaue me. The choice is past: Thoughts now must thinke to doe Not what I freely am, but forc'd vnto. Who euer haue obseru'd the worke of spirits May see how easily men slide downe to ill. The world hath strange examples, false delights, Which make our senses nets to catch our will. Who then with men for euery fault falls out, Must hate himselfe, and all the world about. Behold! the man I speake of doth appeare: Retire aside, stand close, marke what succeeds: His owne destruction, or else mine he breeds. Caine! what is it, that thus your minde distracts? Counsells of honour alter not the face; Hearts only thinke with paine of doubtfull acts. In care they liue that must for many care; And such the best, and greatest euer are. They purchase care vnto themselues, that know The weight of care; and yet will it imbrace. If care be grieuous, why vsurpe you so? I liue but to obey the Princes will.
