An Ode of Johannes Secundus Translated.
To my dear Tutor Mr. Ralph Rawson.
The
World shall want Phœbean light,
And th' Icy Moon obscured lye,
And sparkling Stars their Rooms shall quit
I'th' gloomy Sky:
And th' Icy Moon obscured lye,
And sparkling Stars their Rooms shall quit
I'th' gloomy Sky:
The Crab shall shorter cut the Day,
The Capricorn prolong its Hours,
And t'abridge Nights unpleasant stay,
Command the Powers:
The Capricorn prolong its Hours,
And t'abridge Nights unpleasant stay,
Command the Powers:

Earth shall be plow'd by crooked Ships,
And Carrs shall rowl upon the Seas,
Fishes in Woods, Bores in the Deep
Shall live and Graze:
And Carrs shall rowl upon the Seas,
Fishes in Woods, Bores in the Deep
Shall live and Graze:
Before I'le lay aside that care
Of thee, that's in my Bosom bred,
Whether i'th' Centre, or i'th' Air,
Alive, or dead.
Of thee, that's in my Bosom bred,
Whether i'th' Centre, or i'th' Air,
Alive, or dead.
