PASSION. XLIIII.
[Rested by choyse our dayes we finish here]
Rested by choyse our dayes we finish here,
And Iove himselfe the hoyse thereof hath made,
Being lou'd we die, Iove lou's as doth appeere:
By motions which errors doe inuade,
So those whom Iove with princely care doth loue,
Them he doth chase his Godhead to approue.
And Iove himselfe the hoyse thereof hath made,
Being lou'd we die, Iove lou's as doth appeere:
By motions which errors doe inuade,
So those whom Iove with princely care doth loue,
Them he doth chase his Godhead to approue.
O happie man of whom Iove made a choyse,
O happie man whom Ivpiter doth loue,
Whom Iove accepts he onely may reioyce,
Whom Iove takes to himselfe he doth reproue:
Yf chosen thus, and loued so by Iove,
Or though reprou'd, why should we fafnt in loue.
O happie man whom Ivpiter doth loue,
Whom Iove accepts he onely may reioyce,
Whom Iove takes to himselfe he doth reproue:
Yf chosen thus, and loued so by Iove,
Or though reprou'd, why should we fafnt in loue.
He onely shall the flaming wals enioy,
That gardes the thorne of Ioves imperiall seate,
And shall behould that prince which may destroy,
Phebvs bright beams which feedeth vs with heate,
No sorrowes then, nor griefe shall him molest,
Being lath'd by Iove vnto his heau'nly feast,
That gardes the thorne of Ioves imperiall seate,
And shall behould that prince which may destroy,
Phebvs bright beams which feedeth vs with heate,
No sorrowes then, nor griefe shall him molest,
Being lath'd by Iove vnto his heau'nly feast,
So shall he rest amongst the chiefest starrs,
There a new star plac'd for to yeilde vs light,
And by his death shall end these terren warrs,
And life a newe begyn to leade vpright;
And shall no more behould the theater,
Where tragick eu'll leade mortall men to erre.
There a new star plac'd for to yeilde vs light,
And by his death shall end these terren warrs,
And life a newe begyn to leade vpright;
And shall no more behould the theater,
Where tragick eu'll leade mortall men to erre.
