EXTRACTS OF THE SIBYLLAES PROPHESIES OF CHRISTE.

Sibylla Persica.

Thow serpent fraught with craft and crueltie
Shalt by a mightier strength bee troden low,
And on base earth, the high God borne shalbee,
And from a maid the branch of blis shal grow:
And that true woord, vnseene before of all,
Shal now be seene, and shalbe felt withall.

Sibylla Libyca.

In obscure darcknes light shal glistring shyne,
The Synagogs straight bands vnbound shalbee:
The king of lyf be seene of mortal eyen,
And in a maidens lap shal nowrisht bee,
And high aboue the gentils hee shal raigne,
And shal in mercie his estate maintaine.

Sibylla Delphica.

Attend (o earth) thy soueraigne Lord to see,
And know thy God, which is Gods only sonne:
Chyld of the highest, and moste high is hee,
VVhose beeing by no earthly wight begun:
Hee shal the great expexted prophet bee,
Of woorthy greatnesse, and great dignitie.

Sibylla Cumea.

A maid excelling all in sainctitie
And whose cleere beauty shal the starres exceed
Of Chyld (in future tyme) conceau'd shalbe,
And of the rarest sacred blood and seed:
And from the heauens the sweet dew downe shal fal
Into her brests to nowrish him withal.

Sibylla Erithrea.

In later age, high God wil him abase,
And vnto low estate himself inclyne,
Mixing his nature with our humaine race,
His Godheid to our manheid to combyne:
And lo the litle lamb in strawy bed,
Shal of a maid be nowrished and fed.

Sibylla Samia.

O fond Iudea, why do'st thow neglect,
The certaine knowlege of thy very God,
Thy happy dayes why do'st thow so reiect?
O why do'st thow prepare for him a rod?
VVith thorny crowne his head why do'st thow presse?
And for his taste a bitter potion dresse.

Sibylla Cumana.

What tyme the third dayes sleep hath taken end
The tyme prescrybed also end shal take,
Of death, whose rule to that space did extend,
And then as from his sleep shal wax awake,
Hee whose now bringing liues reuyned ioy,
Shal shew how men from death may lyf enioy.

Sibylla Helispontiaca.

Even from the heau'ns moste high & stately throne
The eyes of God the earth shal oueruiew,
And of all creatures take regard of one,
Of modest meeknesse, and moste gratious hew:
And as a man God shal bee borne on earth,
And of an hebrew virgin haue his birth.

Sibylla Phrigia.

The earth shal rent at feareful trumpet sound,
And kinges as vassals at Gods seat appeere,
In iustice all his iudgments shal abound,
Yeilding to men as men deserued heere:
vnto the good, stil during heauenly ioy,
And to the il, long-lasting helles annoy.

Sibylla Tiburtina.

Thow Bethlem arte the birth-place of thy Lord,
That doth from Nazareth assume his name,
O blessed moother, blis doth thee affoord,
His loue, that leaues himself pledge of the same:
O blessed bee that sweet milk-yeilding brest,
To nowrish God, right happely adrest.

THE FIFTEEN MYSTERIES OF THE ROSARIE, OF OVR BLESSED LADY.

VVHEREOF The first fyue are ioyful. The second sorowful. And the third glorious.

The first ioyful mysterie.

Conteyning the Anuntiation of our blessed Lady.

When heau'ns rare loue resolued mannes release,
From thrall to him that first produced sin,
It was decreed that this redeeming peace,
Must by a God and by a man begin,
Then on Ambassage was an Angel sent,
vnto the best of all the best on earth,
VVith grace-ful greeting to declare th' intent,
Of Gods designe in such a sacred berth.
And euen as shee assented to the same,
Eft-soones in her conception did begin,
And blessednes gaue tytle to her name,
And ioy at her glad hart did enter in.

The second ioyful mysterie.

Conteyning our ladies visitation of S. Elizabeth.

Her change exchang'd not humblenesse for pryde,
That bore Gods Sonne and yet would go to see,
Her in whose wombe Gods seruant did resyde,
vaine pointes could not with her pure vertue bee.
And as her coosins eares receau'd her voyce,
One chyld by Simpathy the other moued,
VVhich outwardly both moothers made reioyce,
VVhose ioy each chyld by inward ioy approoued,
From virgins mouth the dittie then begun,
How much her soule did magnify her lord,
VVhich since inur'd help-seekers from her sonne
Therein her praise, in his praise to record.

The third ioyful mysterie.

Conteyning the birth of Christe.

At Ceasars hest to Bethlem shee repaires,
As duty wild, where duty had no claime,
No harbenger her loging there prepares,
Her poore estate fyndes harbor lyke the same.
But when as God in chyldheid would appere,
Odors and Angels brightnes it adorne,
And with deere loue, her louing babe so deere,
Shee doth adore assoone as it is borne.
High priuilege exempted her from wo,
VVhich but Gods mother none could els obtaine,
And heauenly bounty did on her bestow,
That shee a mayden euer should remaine.

The fourth ioyful mysterie.

Conteyning the presentation of Christe in the temple.

At tyme prefixt by ryte of auncient lore,
That now the moother must her babe present,
Thòugh not impure, but purer then before,
And purenesse bringing with her where shee went.
As warned then, through hyre of hope and faith,
Good Simeon comes, to see his wished sight,
VVhere as the Swan he singes before his death,
And in one ioy doth end all worlds delight.
And all the yeares old Anne deuoutly spent,
That with her age encreast her godly zeale,
Did now bring ioy vnto her hartes content,
And ioy to all where ioy shee did reueale.

The fift ioyful mysterie.

Conteyning our Ladies fynding of Christe in the temple.

Sequestred loue doth foster grief and ioy,
Twixt feare of losse and hope of happy gaine,
Such was her case that lost her litle Boy,
VVhose ioy reuyn'd in fynding him againe.
In Temple once buylt by the wysest king,
VVhere not til now the wise king took his place,
VVho yet no kingly porte did thether bring,
But wisdome vttred with a chyldish face.
VVith lyke in yeares shee haply might him seek,
But did him fynde with doctors in dispute,
He left repose to fraudlesse myndes and meek,
And took in hand wise folly to confute.

The first sorowful mysterie.

Conteyning the apprehension of Christe.

Wo woorth that sorow should succeed to ioy,
Or for the il the good sustaine the smart,
But since the sonne would suffer wronges annoy,
The mother beares her vndeserued parte.
For when as hee destrest in garden prayd,
And bloody sweat ran downe his face amayne,
And Iudas false him Iudasly betrayd,
Lost ioy her left, betrayed vnto payne.
And when with rage the Iewes led him away,
Then anguish her surprys'd and led in thrall,
And all that outwardly on him they lay,
Doth inwardly vnto her hart befall.

The second sorowful mysterie.

Conteyning the scourging of Christe.

T'apease the rage of causelesse raging Iewes,
false Pylate wild true Christe should scourged bee,
Cryme knew he none, and yet he did refuse,
vnpunished to set the guiltlesse free.
Then was sweet Iesus to a piller tyde,
And helhoundes lasht at his faire tender skin,
Embrude with blood al round on euery syde,
Thinck then how stood th' aquyter of our sin.
And in what sorrow his poore moother stood,
For his great good, their so great il to view,
Her hart bled inward, and distild the blood,
Foorth at her eyes, though altred in the hew.

The third sorowful mysterie.

Conteyning the crowning of Christ with a crowne of thorne.

For change of torture not for ease of grief,
The Iewes do from the piller Christe vnlose,
VVhyle his sad mothers hopes of his relief,
Encrease her sorow in his lengthned woes.
For they his dolour to deryde and scorne,
The king of kinges in mockage king do call,
And on his head they fix a crowne of thorne,
And in his hand a reed to rule withall.
Yeilding pure loue impure dispight and hate,
Accursed rebels to a king of grace,
That purchase now the due disgraceful state,
Of their stil kinglesse and contemptuous race.

The fourth sorowful mysterie.

Conteyning Christe his bearing of his Crosse.

When Pylat pressed by the Iewish rage,
VVith wrested conscyence gaue the doome of death,
The Iewes made ha'st their fury to aswage,
In the extinguishing lyf-giuers breath.
And his deaths engyne, burthen of his wo,
They make him beare, that him to beare they made,
Him in the way to death to tortur so,
Til they his fainting force, giue forced ayd.
VVel may his mother mourne this to obserue,
That from his burthen lodes her mynd with woes,
And he wel aske what withered stocks deserue?
VVhen fruteful trees are serued so of those.

The fyft sorowful mysterie.

Conteyning the crucifying of Christe.

Oh wo is mee at this great end of grief,
Christe is arryued at his dying place,
Lamblyke he standes, bereft of all relief,
Subiect of sorow, vassal of disgrace.
For on his crosse all naked they him nail,
And reare it vp, and wound him in the syde,
VVhich all the blest of heauen do bewayl,
VVhyle of the earth th' accursedst it deryde.
The swoord of sorow peirseth now the hart,
Of his lamenting mother in her dolour moste,
VVhose deere Sonnes sorrow, and surmounting smart,
Now takes an end, in yeilding of his ghoste.

The first glorious mysterie.

Conteyning the resurrection of Christe.

Svbdued sorrow glory now ensues,
For from the crosse the soule of Christ descending,
Bringes to expecting soules the cheereful newes,
Of heauens entrance, their detaynments ending.
And to his corps his ghoste return'd againe,
Triumphant raiseth it from closed toombe,
Terror vnto the actors of his paine,
VVhose hate, and death, and hel, is ouercome.
And glory that his sorowes now had chased,
Extinguisht wo in his kynde mothers hart,
And glory there and in all others placed,
That of his anguish had sustayned parte.

The second glorious mysterie.

Conteyning the ascention of Christe into heauen.

When forty dayes the day had ouerpast,
Of that new lyf that Christe from death had taken,
He did resolue his heauens returne at last,
To leaue the world that had him first forsaken.
And hauing to his mother now appeered,
And also vnto his apostles true.
Confirmd in faith, and in his glory cheered,
On Oliue mount he biddes them all adieu.
And there liftes vp himself to sacred blis,
Th' unworthy world no more him so retaynes,
And all the glory that in heauen is,
To him is yeilded and to him remaynes.

The third glorious mysterie.

Conteyning the coming downe of the holy Ghost.

Plac'd in his throne and glorious chaire of state,
Our louing Lord regardful of our weal,
VVould let no more then ten dayes run their date,
Ere he his keeping promis would reueal.
VVhat tyme his mother and disciples bent,
In secret wyse to inuocate his name,
Down vnto them his holy Ghost he sent,
VVith glorious fyre their hartes for to enflame,
And to conioyne to his Churche now begonne,
That spirit of truthe that euer must it guyde,
In only truthe, whyle shyneth any Sun,
Maugre the woorst, of daunted hellish pryde.

The fourth glorious mysterie.

Conteyning the assumption of our blessed Lady.

When hence to parte the virgin did obtayne,
The Hierarchies their due attendance gaue,
To bring her sin-lesse soule to endlesse raigne,
VVhyle saintes on earth brought her pure corps to graue.
VVhich therein laid, and found thence to be tane,
Makes pietie to faith to recomend,
That soone her soule to earth return'd againe,
And tooke her corps and did therewith ascend.
A due prerogatiue, and due alone,
Vnto that body that had borne a chyld,
As neuer did, nor neuer shal do none,
That neuer was with thought of sin defyld.

The fyft glorious mysterie.

Conteyning the coronation of our blessed Lady.

Assumpted so with soule and corps combyned,
As glorious as at last the blest shal-bee,
And placed in her princely seat asygned,
Lyke to her woorthy self appeered shee.
And that eternal euer three in one,
There crowned her the highest heauens Queene,
VVhere angels yeilded honor to her throne,
As seemly might to her estate bee seene.
And shee that earst replenisht was with grace,
Now plac'd where grace flowes out in plenties store,
VVhere as shee sees her sonnes most gratious face,
And sues for such as sue to her therefore.

AVE MARIA.

EPITHETES OF OVR BLESSED LADY.

Templum Dei.

When God would from the heauēs to earth his progres take,
No pallace there he found, that might him entertaine,
Saue one rare edifice, which earth-quake could not shake,
The woorthiest woork of praise, that might on earth remaine.
Faire court of sanctitie, made holier for his sake,
That thee the Temple made, his presence to conteyne:
O Temple where as God, voutsafed for to bee,
Stil may wee him adore, adoring stil in thee.

Porta Cœli.

When grace came frō aboue, then wa'st thou made the gate,
By which it entred heer, & brought the hope of blis,
Which hope in hartes of men, remaineth stil in state,
And stil through faith and loue, aliue preserued is:
Then since thow wa'st the dore, for grace this to relate,
So art thow heauens gate, and wel accordeth this,
That as God vnto men, did thee his entrance make,
Men entrance vnto God, againe by thee may take.

Scala Cœli.

How may our heauy load, enclyning to descend,
Ascend vp in the ayre, beyond the egles flight.
Except by such a guyde, as wil assistance lend,
And can from step to step, direct the passage right:
Or rather her owne self, vs better to defend,
The ladder wil become, that scaleth heauens height,
By whose degrees of grace, to blis we may attaine,
And in our mounting vp, not to fall downe againe.

Electa vt Sol.

Braue ornament of heau'n, and comforter of kynde,
Of whome the shyning Sun, doth but the shadow seeme,
Which as it is elect, and hath his place assygn'd,
Aboue the planets all in earthly eyes esteeme,
Aboue all sainctes to thee, is woorthely resygn'd,
The seat in supreame blis, that best doth thee beseeme,
Where thy faire beauteous face, no foggy cloudes can hyde,
But chosen there by grace, in beauty do'st abyde.

Pulchra vt Luna.

When Phebus fyrie steedes, in compassing the ground,
Leaue night behynde their backs, til they againe returne,
Then that there should some light, in darcknes yet be found,
Faire Phebe staies behynde, supplying Phebus turne:
Where shee through borrowed light, in beauty doth abound,
And cheers therewith the earth, that might in darcknes mourne,
So thy faire influence, faire Cynthia vs extend,
Which thy most bounteous sonne, doth thee most freely lend.

Stella Maris.

Bright shyning star by sea, in lands abandon'd sight,
At once apparent seene, on either syde the spheare,
The goodly guyd of all, and guyding all aright,
That in this raging sea, ensue thy brightnes cleer:
And bending not there cours to such illuding light,
As may mislead to wrack, ear danger do apeer,
For thy direction leades, vnto the porte of rest,
Those guyded by thy self, whose guydance is the best.

Ciuitas Dei.

Faire Citie stately buylt, by singular deuyce,
Of that great Architeckt who is of greatest arte,
With all those goodly stones that are esteem'd of pryce,
Which to this fairest woork, their fairnesse do conuert:
And through far aquaducts, from springes of paradise,
The waters thether led, which do refresh the hart,
And to octroy this towne, with all-surpassing fame,
The buylder here himself, a Citizen became.

Turris Dauid.

High Tower of stately porte, and far to be descry'd,
And far from thence againe, the world about to view,
It self the centinel, that therein doth abyde,
To giue aduyce of foes, or danger to ensue:
Wel furnisht for defence, for e'ury tyme and tyde,
For there a thowsand sheilds are hanging on a rew,
Not weapons of offence, but for defence to bee,
Of all such innocents, as from oppression flee.

Nauis Institoris.

If certitude of gaine, may stit the searching mynde,
To venter in the ship, from whence misfortunes flee,
That gouerneth the tyde, and doth comaund the wynde,
And speedely returnes, with goodes that pretious bee,
The barck of blis is shee, and fortunate by kynde,
With grace shee fraighted is, and is of custome free,
Taking but for her hyre, and her inritching trade,
Loue of deuoted myndes, that ritch by her are made.

Puteus Aquarum.

Cleere wel that ouerflowes, with water fresh and fyne,
More pure then vnicorne, could water euer make,
Made by the hand of him, that water turn'd to wyne,
Who giuing it the force, dry sorrow to aslake,
Made that it neuer should, to any drought enclyne,
But that at all assaies, men might refreshing take,
And cure their healthes decay, in deadly agonies,
Since from the flud of lyf, the issue doth arise.

Quasi plantatio Rosæ in Iericho.

Ev'n as the fragrant Rose, on prickling stalk doth grow,
In fairnesse and sweet smel, and vertue to bee seene,
And woorthyest to be worne, and wel beseeming so,
In place of diademe, in garland of a Queene,
So thow which heau'n did once, on bryry earth bestow,
In fairnes, smel, and force, and burgeons euer greene,
Shew'st that this goodly flower, may thy resemblance bee,
Saue in his vading kynde, which cannot bee in thee.

Lilium Conualium.

The litle lilly flower, that groweth in the dale,
Leaues not in low degree, sweet fairnes for to shew,
Which Salomon himself, could neuer counteruaile,
With all his gorgeous cost, he lyked to bestow;
So thow sweet smelling flower, whome sorrowes did assaile
And worldes esteeme debase, to fortune that was low,
Did'st not therefore restraine, the splendure of thy face,
Nor now from heauen to earth, the greatnes of thy grace.

Flos Campi.

The faire flower of the feild, the dayes-eye doth apere,
When thence al flowers besyde, retyre and vade away,
For to this only flower, doth each month of the yeare,
For comely beauties cause, become the month of may,
But that dayes-eye in deed, which doth all seasons cheere,
And keepes her beauty stil, which no tyme can decay,
The dayes-eye is of day, where night may neuer bee,
And thow celestial flower thy self art only shee.

Lilium inter Spinas.

Amiddes a gard of thorne, this goodly lilly grew,
Defended from the foe, that would it faine deface,
Who neere it to aproche, the entrance neuer knew,
With poison to infect, where filth had neuer place,
Yet such might bee the hate, that heeron did ensue,
That hee reseru'd reuenge, vnto succeeding space,
What tyme a crowne of thorne, the sonnes head did sustaine,
To make the mothers hart, be pricked with the payne.

Quasi Cedrus.

Lyke as the Cedar doth, her nurs Libanus hil,
Pay with begotten fame, of her deere nowrishing,
In that so talle a tree, as all trees doth excel,
Moste stately there doth stand, in verdure flourishing:
And doth through sauor sweet, serpents away expel,
So that high tree of blis, that from the earth did spring,
Vnto the earth againe, her sweetnesse doth extend,
Il thinges to driue a way, that may the good offend.

Quasi Palma.

Through burden of thy grief, long did'st thow liue deprest,
Part-bearer of the wo, thy deere sonne did sustaine,
But as it was a grief, to see him so destrest,
Loue made it seeme some ioy to help to beare his payne:
Yet grief had neuer force, so far thee to molest,
That thow did'st vertue want, thy courage to maintaine,
No more then is the palme, deprest by heauy waight,
Who doth thereby the more, endeuour to bee straight.

Quasi Cypressus.

Lyke to the Cypres tree, on holy Sion hil,
That faire and vncorrupt, in vigour doth endure,
And with sweet smelling breath, her neere aprocher fil,
And doth for Temples yeild, her timber euer pure,
So on that sacred mount, thow arte remaining stil,
And in that Temple wrought, whence grace men must procure,
And where aproching soules, do thy sweet sent receaue,
And where no suter thow, do'st vnrelieued leaue.

Quasi Oliua.

When earths foule face of sin, might not the heauen see,
The waters all did hyde, that vnto earth pertayn'd,
Except the Arck wherein, few were reserued free,
There to expect the tyme, that mercie might be gayn'd,
From whence the hopeful Noe, a pigeon did let flee,
Who by an Oliue branch, brought newes that hope remayn'd,
So thow the Oliue tree, whereout our ioy did spring,
Becam'st the signe of ioy, and ioy it self did'st bring.

Quasi Platanus.

Lyke as the goodly plane, doth beautify the feild,
And far her root extend, more stedfast for to stay,
To make her farspred boughes refreshful shadow yeild,
For trauelers repose, in hotest tyme of day,
So thow exalted art, of heauen to be beheld,
Where in assured state, thy boughes thow do'st desplay,
To the refreshful shade, of trauelers desyre,
That pas in dangers dread, of soule afflicting fyre.

Hortus Conclusus.

Moste pleasant garden plot, true Paradise of praise,
Erected in the roome, of Paradise of iore,
But yet that garden far, exceeding sundry wayes,
As perfect second woorkes, exceed things wrought before:
All closely wall'd about, inuiolate it stayes,
No serpent can get in, nor shal for euermore,
All goodly flowers and frutes, here in perfection grow,
Vertue on stockes of grace, hath them engraffed so.

Fons signatus.

Pvre fountaine surely seald, from each infectious thing,
Whose water doth exceed, the taste of Nectar sweet,
And in two milk-whyte streames, did issue out and spring,
And for one only taste, allowed to bee meet,
Who by diuineful power, did to it vertue bring,
That turn'd it to a red, whose colour could not fleet,
And taken from thy brest, did yeild it from his syde,
To salue the sinnes of men, when on the crosse hee dy'd.

Speculum sine Macula.

Cleere christal earst conieald, in rock of heauens height,
Was fram'd into a glas, to mirrour vertues face,
Whence lookers on receaue, conseruatiue of sight,
And can no spot espy, to make it beare disgrace:
But serueth as a booke, and moueth much delight,
By purenesse therein seen, impurenesse to deface,
And sacred was the skil, that pullisht it so cleere,
That through it vnto men, saluation did appeere.

L'enuoy.

Let not offence mistake dispraising this my praise,
As to dispraise the same, in deeming it too much,
Whose woorth demaundeth more, of duty many wayes.
And doth deserue dispraise, in that it is not sutch,
But since deuotion hath, afforded these assayes,
Let not vncaus'd offence, all causelesse seeme to grutch,
For heau'n did by behest, most blessed her ordayne,
And shee ordayn'd her praise, successyue to remaine.

OVR BLESSED LADIES LVLLABY.

A REPREHENSION OF THE REPREHENDING of our ladies praise.

THE TRIVMPHE OF feminyne Saintes.

A RESEMBLANCE OF MARTYRS.

Before the craggy flint
Meetes with the hardned steel,
It seemes not to conteyne,
The vertue it conteynes,
But when it doth the stroke
Of swift encountring feel,
Eu'n then the force apeeres,
That hid in it remaines,
Right so resolued myndes,
Through wicked fortunes wheel,
Encountring with mishap,
And feeling bitter paynes,
Make fyre of sacred loue,
From ardent zeal proceed:
VVhich mounting vp to heau'n,
Doth all the Starres exceed.

TE DEVM LAVDAMVS,

OR The song of S. Ambrose, & S. Augustyne.

HOVV GOD IN ALL AGES hath bin serued with Sacrifise.

Sacrificium sub lege Naturæ.

When God created man, and rule vnto him gaue,
Of creatures all on earth, and eu'ry earthly thing,
And knowlege of his God, did in his hart engraue,
Subiection so to know, vnto his soueraigne King:
Then for to know and yeild, what homage hee would haue,
Nature by her instinckt, vnto his mynde did bring,
And Sacrifise it was, and well accepted than,
Thus mannes adoring God, with sacrifise began.

Sacrificium sub lege Moyses.

VVhen frō the hows of thralle, through ayd of heau'nly might
Gods people were led foorth, by Moysis then their guyd,
For this new freedome found, it rested that of right,
God with augmented thankes, must now bee gratifyde:
And him to honor more, in more then wonted plight,
Old Sacrifise was now, with new rytes beautifyde,
So for more good receau'd, more gratitude did rise,
Which still to God was don, in doing sacrifise.

Sacrificium sublege Euangelica.

VVhen Gods dere Sonne from heau'n, did vnto earth descēd,
Lost loue of God againe, for mannes release to win,
Himself in sacrifise, blood-sacrifise did end,
When his high prised blood, did satisfy for sin:
But since Gods seruice must on sacrifise depend,
He chang'd, not took away, what faith did first begin,
And did ordaine himself, in Sacramental wise
To bee to God for man, a soueraigne sacrifise.
