The Argvment.
Death-summon'd David, in his sacred throneInstals (instructs) his yong Son Salomon:
His (pleas-God) Choice of Wisedom, wins him Honor:
And Health and Wealth (at once) to wait vpon her:
His wondrous Doom, quick Babe's Claim to decide:
Mis-Matches taxt, in His with Pharaonide:
Their pompous Nuptials: Seav'n Heav'n-Masquers there.
The glorious Temple, Builded richly-rare.
Salem's Renown drawes Saba to his Court:
King Iames, to His, brings Barta's, in like fort.
