To The Three Lordes Chiefe Ivstices.
By these life-lengthning Lozenges, are show'nCares to cure Ills, by times corruption grow'n
To comfort Vertues heart, at point to die
Of a Consumption, and doth bed-rid lie:
This Starre, that Iustice is, which is not blind,
(As th'ancient Hieroglyphickes her defin'd)
But searcheth out with quicke discerning eye
Th'hard difference twixt Faith and Fallacy.
These Birds, as yet vnlearnt to light on earth,
Figure that Iustice, which from Heau'n ha's Birth,
And scornes to looke so low, as base respect
Of its owne priuate ends, and Truth neglect.
Care, Truth, and Iustice thus vnite, we see
Make in their Goodnesse mixt, a Sympathy,
On whose ioynt pinions the Realmes Peace vp-towres
T'her Chaire of State; subsisteted by your powres.
