True Hypponax, and therefore temperance Limits with reason our compulsive woe: For men of pure discretion (you may find) Bear all extremes with a most equal mind. Repeat Perillus (the last sign of love) A poem to express the Obsequy, With tears concluding his Catastrophe. Fear to offend his far divulged name, Which (who may mention without righteous fame) Being ever busied in effecting laws, Commended still with popular applause, Retaining orders of Antiquity, Forbids me to repeat his Elegy: Each clamorous echo and all forest-noise Engendered by the Sylvan dryads, Be henceforth silent; never may such tunes Afford free mirth to poet's fantasy; Who, may surcease to sing their sacred lays, Viewing the unaccustomed change of time: Till future ages do revive the loss Of our dejected worthy in his son, Whose true external image doth retain, The living lustre of our wonted king, May whose dear genius dwell thy gifts among, And us provoke to leave his funeral song. Enough; and in that final word, Enough, Our lamentations fail: remove the hearse, His body sleeps: who may the soul reverse? (My Council) stay, assist me; and because From the succession of new Kings, new laws Take their original, I do intend Enormities of custom to amend, Matters (though in themselves erroneous) Amended, may prove meritorious, Had but impartial Fate five longer weeks, Allotted to my safe progenitor. He, by advise of your sage gravity, Had finished (ere this) what you begun, Which (through default) I must remember done. The people of our continent, each sex Both masculine and female, do adore A Goddess, whose essential part is change, (Proper to widows, virgins wild, and wives) Antiquity doth call her CINTHIA; The honour, sacrifice and Hecatombs, Spent in the solemn, superficial awe Of her accounted-sanctimonious law, Are (without equal number) infinite. We, knowing her supremacy extends No further than weak women, will abridge That annual expense, and will confine Such customary devotion to the sect Of Priesthoods feminine; their simple sex Shall by injunction worship CINTHIA, To whom indeed they be subordinate. So, this decree of privilege exempts Men from oblations: Let an Officer Inform the people thus. We all subscribe. Your dutiful acceptance (noble friends) Of this propounded policy, doth urge My secret nature to disclose the love Which was inflamed when juniority Of years and judgement (my associates) Gave me advice, which a more grounded age Doth entertain, with equal permanence: With self-same fervour and integrity Of true entire affection, as before. What Spartan Lady will oppose the King? What Spartan Lady doth Maenander love? Nay friends allow the marriage of your King, A matter lawful first in general And thence refute the scruple so precise, Which bolsters up a life Monastical. That scruple we as error do account. Then I'll advertise in especial, You sapient hearers of that beauteous dame, Who, unredeemed Maenander, captivate Doth hold in fetters, though a freeborn King, The daughter of Hyarchus do I love.

True Hypponax, and therefore temperance Limits with reason our compulsiue woe: For men of pure discretion (you may finde) Beare all extremes with a most aequall minde. Repeat Perillus (the last signe of loue) A poem to expresse the Obsequie, With teares concluding his Catastrophe. Feare to offend his farre divulged name, Which (who may mention without righteous fame) Being euer busied in effecting lawes, Commended still with popular applause, Retaining orders of Antiquity, Forbids me to repeate his Elegie: Each clamorous eccho and all forrest-noise Ingendred by the Sylvan Dryades, Be henceforth silent; neuer may such tunes Affoord free mirth to Poets phantasie; Who, may surcease to sing their sacred layes, Viewing the vnaccustom'd change of time: Till future ages do reviue the losse Of our deiected worthy in his sonne, Whose true externall image doth retaine, The liuing lustre of our wonted king, May whose deere genius dwell thy gifts among, And vs prouoke to leaue his funerall song. Enough; and in that finall word, Enough, Our lamentations faile: remoue the hearse, His body sleepes: who may the soule reverse?
