In Alaham for instance, plead your power, or right; Entise him from a mortall Crowne, with your Crowne infinite. Proue if he will forbeare vnnaturall Parricide, To see who in the sea of humors shall the Scepter guide. Trie if proud Hala will forget the death of Caine, And reconcil'd, in dutie, with her owne Lord liue, and raigne. Moue Celica, that spirit reputed for your owne, To see if she, to saue her life, would haue her fame vnknowne. Worke Zophi (that poore soule) though blinde, to leaue his breath: We only make things cheape, or deare, as Lords of life, and death. Lastly, perswade the King to liue, and saue his Crowne; And all the world shall see we rayse, and wee pull Princes downe. So that your beings here are but a tincture cast (Like crests vpon the Egypt Pharos) to disguise, not last. Besides; take from the world that which you reckon Sinne; And she must be, as at the first, for euer to beginne. A glorious, spacious wombe fram'd to containe but one; Since he, that in it will be yours, is sure to be alone. Keepe therefore where you are; descend not, but ascend: For, vnderneath the Sun, be sure no braue State is your friend. What haue you wonne by this, but that curst vnder Sinne, You make, and marre; throw downe, and raise; as euer to beginne? Like Meteors in the ayre, you blaze but to burne out, And change your shapes (like Phantom'd clouds) to leaue weake eyes in doubt. Not truth, but truth-like grounds is that you worke vpon, Varying in all but this, that you can neuer long be one, Then play here with your art; false miracles deuise; Deceiue, and be deceiued still; be foolish, and seeme wise; In peace erect your Thrones; your delicacie spread, The flowers of time corrupt soone spring, and are as quickly dead. Let warre, which (tempest-like) all with it selfe o'rethrowes, Make of this diuerse world a stage for blood-enammeld showes. Successiuely both these yet this fate follow will, That all their glories be no more than change from ill, to ill. So as with peace, or warre, if you adorne one realme, In both, through other Climes againe, you runne with barren streame. Rest no where therefore, but still wander, as you doe, And restlesse be they, as you are, that shall receiue you too. Giue Alaham more scope to multiply his error, With parents blood adorne his Throne; more guilt still adds more terreur. Let Hala's wicked heart (for all ill births a wombe) By violence of passion, make for many vices roome. Let ill example in to staine the Christian Nation; The same excesse destroyes at last, which first gaue reputation. Conspire against the truth, you haue an easie foe: For in the world all that are hers can neuer currant goe.
