he radiant Suns diuine renowne, diffuse (Ioues Daughter, great Calliope my Muse) Whom Ox-ey'd Euryphaessa gaue Birth, To the bright seede of starrie Heauen and Earth. For the farr-fam'd Hyperion tooke to Wife His Sister Euryphaessa; that life Of his high Race gaue, to these louely Three; Aurora with the Rosie-wrists, and shee That ownes th'enamouring tresses (the bright Moone) Together, with the neuer-wearied Sunne. Who, (his Horse mounting) giues, both Mortalls light And all Th'immortalls. Euen to horror, bright A blaze burns from his Golden Burgonet Which to behold, exceeds the sharpest set Of any eues intention: Beames so cleare It all waies powres abroade. The glorious cheare Of his farr-shining Face, up to his Crowne, Casts circular Radiance: that comes streaming downe About his Temples; his bright Cheekes, and all Retayning the refulgence of their Fall. About his bosome flowes so fine a Weede As doth the thynnesse of the winde exceede In rich context: beneath whose deepe folds flie His Masculine Horses, round about the skie; Till in this Hemisphere, he renders staie T'his gold-yo'kt Coch, and Coursers: and his way (Let downe by Heauen) the heauenly Cocheman makes Downe to the Ocean, where his rest he takes. My Salutations then, faire King, receiuve, And, in propitious returnes Relieue My life with Minde-fit means; & then from Thee And all the race of compleate Deitie My song shall celebrate those halfe-God states, That yet, sad deaths condicion circulates. And whose braue Acts, the Gods shew men, that they As braue may ayme at; since they can but die.
