(35)
Sadly ſits thʼAſſyrian Queene;
But farre above in ſpangled ſheene
Celeſtiall Cupid her fam'd Son advanc't,
Holds his deare Pſyche ſweet intranc't
After her wandring labours long,
Till free conſent the gods among
Make her his æternall Bride,
And from her faire unſpotted ſide
Two bliſsfull twins are to be borne,
Youth, and Ioy, so Iove hath ſworne.
But now my taske is ſmoothly done,
I can fly, or I can run
Quickly to the greene earths end,
Where the bow'd welkin ſlow doth bend,
And from thence can ſoare as ſoone
To the corners of the Moone.
Mortalls that would follow me,
Love vertue, she alone is free,
She can teach yee how to clime
Higher then the Sphærie chime;
Or if vertue feeble were
Heav'n it ſelfe would ſtoope to her.
The principall perſons in this Maske ; were
| The Lord Bracly, |
The Lady Alice | |
| Mr. Thomas Egerton, | Egerton. |
The End.
