Poems consisting of Epistles and Epigrams, Satyrs, Epitaphs and Elogies, Songs and Sonnets With variety of other drolling Verses upon several Subjects. Composed by no body must know whom, and are to be had every body knows where, and for somebody knows what [by John Eliot] |
Poems consisting of Epistles and Epigrams, Satyrs, Epitaphs and Elogies, Songs and Sonnets | ||
The same Lady presented his Majestie the Queens Picture,
in a Square table, wrought with a needle so artificially, as the most Skilfull Painter could not
33
have better'd it, and at the 4 corners were the names
of his Majesties fower kingdomes, with these verses made by the same Author.
She, whose ambitious Genius watching lies,
33
With ardent Zeal to catch your sacred Eyes,
Discovered hath the blessed object, where
Those stars doe move as in their proper sphere.
On that she humbly fixt her loyal heart,
Untill her soul had taught her hands the art,
By which that objects sweet Idea thus,
Was made to feast those eyes that govern us.
If then this zealous offering finde but grace,
Your sower Kingdoms next you shall give place
Unto the Prince, Princess, Duke, and the other
Expected fourth Modell, their third Brother.
And thus by Hierogliphicks she aspires
To teach her hands to speak her hearts desires.
