Written by Fra: Quarles

Driue on, driue on, (dull Waggoner) Let slippe
Your louser reines, and vse thine idle whippe;
Thy pamperd Steeds are pursie; Driue away;
The lower world thinkes long to see the day;
Darkenesse befits vs best; and our delight
Will rellish farre more sweeter, in the night;
Approach (yee blessed shadowes) and extend
Your early Iurisdiction, to befriend
Our nightly sports; Approach; make no delay;
It is your Queene, your Soueraigne calls away.
