WEll hath the great Creator of the world Framed it in that exact and perfect form, That by itself unmoveable might stand, Supported only by his Providence. Well hath his powerful Wisdom ordered Th'in nature disagreeing Elements, That all affecting their peculiar place, Maintain the conservation of the whole. Well hath he taught the swelling Ocean To know his bounds, lest in luxurious pride He should insult upon the conquered Land. Well hath he placed those Torches in the Heavens, To give light to our else all darkened eyes: The Crystal windows through which our soul Looking upon the world's most beauteous face, Is blessed with sight and knowledge of his works. Well hath he all things done: for how alas Could any strength or wit of feeble man Sustained have that greater Universe, Too weak an Atlas for one Commonwealth How could he make the Earth, the Water, Air, And Fire, in peace their duties to observe, Or bridle up the headstrong Ocean, That cannot rule the wits and tongues of Man, And keep them in? it were impossible To give light to the world, with all his Art, And skill, that cannot well illuminate One darkened understanding. Oh my sons, Never admire the Seat of government, Nor let the haughty and ambitious thoughts Of an aspiring mind, inflame your hearts To climb up to the false-supposed Heaven Of high-authority. Now I think I am prevented: is he not stark mad already? The Chair of State, Though glorious seeming, oft proves dangerous, Is always troublesome, always envied. I hear the Regent of this only Land Not altogether unexperienced, Having the assistance of grave counsellors, Ready to faint with burden of my cares, Think happy great Tiphoeus, who, they say Lies pressed down under large Sicily. Your loving Son, if his purpose hold, will ease you; you shall not think Aetna upon your shoulders, he will make your head light enough. Let then your true affection so well placed On well deserving, well requiting loves, Doubly reflecting on your nearer selves, Grow strong in fast united amity; That what no single strength or wit can do, Virtue conjoined, may attain unto. But Demonstration call young Intellect To be instructed; he was hither sent By that great Empress of the Isle of Man, Renowned Anima his careful Mother, And as his youth, this childhood of the day Will best admit the best impressions. But who's that? Fallacy? and whence come you? My gracious Father, carried on the wings Of my ne'er sleeping Piety, I came From my own house to do my humble duty Unto your Majesty. (you
