A Song After the Main Prologue, Painting the Festival of Aranwhez.
The
Flowers that most adorn
Of Aranwhez the Plain
(Following a black-ey'd Morn)
A Laurel entertain;
Of Aranwhez the Plain
(Following a black-ey'd Morn)
A Laurel entertain;
Of flow'ry May the King,
Apollo's gallant Son,
He at His Fifteenth Spring
Ware of the Field the Crown:
Apollo's gallant Son,
He at His Fifteenth Spring
Ware of the Field the Crown:
When His Seventeenth April came,
Worshipping that Goddess yonder,
Wonders wrought He in Her Name,
But His Faith the greatest Wonder.
Worshipping that Goddess yonder,
Wonders wrought He in Her Name,
But His Faith the greatest Wonder.
O how deft, how sweet to boot,
First handsome, and then light of foot;
Tagus's Nymphs of best renown,
To whom no Love nor Grief is known
(Brighter, fairer) from Heavens Globe
Steal away the Starry Robe,
And the Earths embroider'd Gown!
First handsome, and then light of foot;
Tagus's Nymphs of best renown,
To whom no Love nor Grief is known
(Brighter, fairer) from Heavens Globe
Steal away the Starry Robe,
And the Earths embroider'd Gown!
Of
all the World admires
For rare, a fair disdain,
Plac'd bounds to her desires,
And that best object made her Eyes refrain.
For rare, a fair disdain,
Plac'd bounds to her desires,
And that best object made her Eyes refrain.
How great, and how well plac'd,
A Roses love? With Use
How well was it at last
Paid by a Flower-de-luce?
A Roses love? With Use
How well was it at last
Paid by a Flower-de-luce?
Love from complaints is free:
That we for once might find,
Beauty may happy be,
And Happiness be kind.
That we for once might find,
Beauty may happy be,
And Happiness be kind.
O how deft, how sweet to boot,
First handsome, and then light of foot;
Tagus's Nymphs of best renown,
To whom no Love nor Grief is known
(Brighter, fairer) from Heavens Globe
Steal away the Starry Robe
And the Earths embroider'd Gown!

Tagus's Nymphs of best renown,
To whom no Love nor Grief is known
(Brighter, fairer) from Heavens Globe
Steal away the Starry Robe
And the Earths embroider'd Gown!
Years
(which deserve perpetual Spring,
And which deserve to be his Years)
Joy them, He that loves the King;
And adore them, He that fears.
And which deserve to be his Years)
Joy them, He that loves the King;
And adore them, He that fears.
Clasp let his early Valour on
Strong and glittering Steel of Spain,
Multitudes in whom alone
Of Fernand's and Alfonso's Reign.
Strong and glittering Steel of Spain,
Multitudes in whom alone
Of Fernand's and Alfonso's Reign.
Never let him rust with Calms
But His Hand purchase, His Hand cut
As many Crowns out, and as many Palms
As his Fore-Fathers tumbled at his Foot.
But His Hand purchase, His Hand cut
As many Crowns out, and as many Palms
As his Fore-Fathers tumbled at his Foot.

The Final End of the Prologue.
