First born of Chaos who so fair didst come	A
From the old Negro's darksome womb	B
Which when it saw the lovely Child	C
The melancholly Mass put on kind looks and smil'd	C
	-
Thou Tide of Glory which no Rest dost know	D
But ever Ebb and ever Flow	D
Thou Golden shower of a true Jove	E
Who does in thee descend and Heav'n to Earth make Love	E
	-
Hail active Natures watchful Life and Health	F
Her Joy her Ornament and Wealth	F
Hail to thy Husband Heat and Thee	G
Thou the worlds beauteous Bride the lusty Bridegroom He	G
	-
Say from what Golden Quivers of the Sky	H
Do all thy winged Arrows fly	H
Swiftness and Power by Birth are thine	I
From thy Great Sire they came thy Sire the word Divine	I
	-
'Tis I believe this Archery to show	D
That so much cost in Colours thou	J
And skill in Painting dost bestow	D
Upon thy ancient Arms the Gawdy Heav'nly Bow	J
	-
Swift as light Thoughts their empty Carriere run	K
Thy Race is finisht when begun	K
Let a Post Angel start with Thee	G
And Thou the Goal of Earth shalt reach as soon as He	G
	-
Thou in the Moons bright Chariot proud and gay	L
Dost thy bright wood of Stars survay	E
And all the year dost with thee bring	M
Of thousand flowry Lights thine own Nocturnal Spring	M
	-
Thou Scythian like dost round thy Lands above	E
The Suns gilt Tent for ever move	E
And still as thou in pomp dost go	D
The shining Pageants of the World attend thy show	D
	-
Nor amidst all these Triumphs dost thou scorn	N
The humble Glow worms to adorn	N
And with those living spangles gild	O
O Greatness without Pride the Bushes of the Field	P
	-
Night and her ugly Subjects thou dost fright	Q
And sleep the lazy Owl of Night	Q
Asham'd and fearful to appear	R
They skreen their horrid shapes with the black Hemisphere	R
	-
With 'em there hasts and wildly takes the Alarm	S
Of painted Dreams a busie swarm	T
At the first opening of thine eye	H
The various Clusters break the antick Atomes fly	H
	-
The guilty Serpents and obscener Beasts	U
Creep conscious to their secret rests	V
Nature to thee does reverence pay	L
Ill Omens and ill Sights removes out of thy way	L
	-
At thy appearance Grief it self is said	W
To shake his Wings and rowse his Head	W
And cloudy care has often took	X
A gentle beamy Smile reflected from thy Look	X
	-
At thy appearance Fear it self grows bold	Y
Thy Sun shine melts away his Cold	Y
Encourag'd at the sight of Thee	G
To the cheek Colour comes and firmness to the knee	G
	-
Even Lust the Master of a hardned Face	Z
Blushes if thou beest in the place	Z
To darkness' Curtains he retires	A2
In Sympathizing Night he rowls his smoaky Fires	B2
	-
When Goddess thou liftst up thy wakened Head	W
Out of the Mornings purple bed	W
Thy Quire of Birds about thee play	L
And all the joyful world salutes the rising day	L
	-
The Ghosts and Monster Spirits that did presume	B
A Bodies Priv'lege to assume	B
Vanish again invisibly	L
And Bodies gain agen their visibility	G
	-
All the Worlds bravery that delights our Eyes	C2
Is but thy sev'ral Liveries	C2
Thou the Rich Dy on them bestowest	G
Thy nimble Pencil Paints this Landskape as thou go'st	G
	-
A Crimson Garment in the Rose thou wear'st	G
A Crown of studded Gold thou bear'st	G
The Virgin Lillies in their White	G
Are clad but with the Lawn of almost Naked Light	G
	-
The Violet springs little Infant stands	C2
Girt in thy purple Swadling bands	C2
On the fair Tulip thou dost dote	G
Thou cloath'st it in a gay and party colour'd Coat	G
	-
With Flame condenst thou dost the Jewels fix	C2
And solid Colours in it mix	C2
Flora her self envyes to see	C2
Flowers fairer then her own and durable as she	C2
	-
Ah Goddess would thou could'st thy hand withhold	G
And be less Liberall to Gold	G
Didst thou less value to it give	E
Of how much care alas might'st thou poor Man relieve	E
	-
To me the Sun is more delighful farr	D2
And all fair Dayes much fairer are	D2
But few ah wondrous few there be	C2
Who do not Gold preferr O Goddess ev'n to Thee	C2
	-
Through the soft wayes of Heaven and Air and Sea	C2
Which open all their Pores to Thee	C2
Like a cleer River thou dost glide	G
And with thy Living Stream through the close Channels slide	G
	-
But where firm Bodies thy free course oppose	C2
Gently thy source the Land oreflowes	C2
Takes there possession and does make	E2
Of Colours mingled Light a thick and standing Lake	E2
	-
But the vast Ocean of unbounded Day	G
In th' Empyr an Heaven does stay	G
Thy Rivers Lakes and Springs below	L
From thence took first their Rise thither at last must Flow	L
