(Alas good King) what sudden overthrow Distracts poor weakness by a little woe? Who talks of woe' did you sweet passenger? Open thy case if it be parallel, Let's live copartners in some ugly shade Where none but melancholy night-ravens keep There let's complain, but (breath being silent) weep. Not far from hence, low in a humble Cave, My little cottage stands devoid of care Finely encompassed with a pleasant wave Dressed up with Daisies, Cowslips, Hyacinths And many thousand pretty, pretty things Which Nature lends me while the blackbird sings: four Goats I have which browse upon the twigs, Two did relinquish mê, for I had six, One seemed a Lamb which was indeed a Wolf, Him did my dog discover, kill, and eat— we do discover all thy weakness King To help is hard, to weep an easy thing. Dares then thy blistered tongue (audacious fool) Forget all duty and disturb a Duke? (Impudent Ass) I do degrade thy ears And thee, from all employment; be an Ass At large, and carry loaves, like Lucius Deserve a Cudgel and a biting spur, Be dull and sluggish in extremities Till I bestow a Rose or any thing To make thy sudden metamorphosis. It's made already (King) and I will kiss Your dainty plame, then laugh, and Poetize Cast of my rob and act old Lucius, Or Messala Corvino; dance I will, And after sixty Summers will I dote So, change my garment for a mimic's coat: Captives repine at their compulsive thrall Who then (sweet Mistress) may me Captive call? Though conquered I confess Yet void of heaviness: Forbearance makes my freedom At length to be more welcome. When with compassion thou shalt pity Me; or approve my harmless Ditty: If ransom you require Tell me thy chief desire; What is it I would not give thee? Make trial and believe me. Ransom though you refuse Or at the least excuse Yet to the latest of a thousand lives I will rejoice in love, triumph in gives. Age is become a young inamorate. Laugh, laugh, infernal furies leap for joy; Make me a flaming Chariot, I will ride Upon the wings of potent Lucifer, And style, like lightning, through th'amazed Orb. Thunder shall be my Page, and Aeolus Lead up my Coach-horse to big Titan's Hall, Where in that fair Assembly of the Gods, Glistering with golden robes Pontifical: I must a volume of large thanks recite, And a petition to dame Luna write: All, for thy sweet acquaintance Messala Whom I adore, and much will dignify Those who partake in ravished lunacy. So, than we are companions (lusty lad.) Till daring Ioue dissolve the Universe, Till the last revolution of this Orb. Till Citizens accounted civil knaves, To cheating custom be no longer slaves. Till sige authentics of unspotted lives Leave bawdy Panderism to their willing wives. Then, faith till Courtiers too, with satin sleeves Renounce all begging and be arrant thieves. Till tailors likewise made of shreds and shelves every the debtor to undo themselves.
