Alas how pleasant are their dayes	A
With whom the Infant Love yet playes	A
Sorted by pairs they still are seen	B
By Fountains cool and Shadows green	B
But soon these Flames do lose their light	C
Like Meteors of a Summers night	C
Nor can they to that Region climb	D
To make impression upon Time	D
	-
'Twas in a Shipwrack when the Seas	A
Rul'd and the Winds did what they please	A
That my poor Lover floting lay	E
And e're brought forth was cast away	E
Till at the last the master Wave	F
Upon the Rock his Mother drave	F
And there she split against the Stone	G
In a Cesarian Section	H
	-
The Sea him lent these bitter Tears	A
Which at his Eyes he alwaies bears	A
And from the Winds the Sighs he bore	I
Which through his surging Breast do roar	I
No Day he saw but that which breaks	A
Through frighted Clouds in forked streaks	A
While round the ratling Thunder hurl'd	J
As at the Fun'ral of the World	J
	-
While Nature to his Birth presents	A
This masque of quarrelling Elements	A
A num'rous fleet of Corm'rants black	K
That sail'd insulting o're the Wrack	K
Receiv'd into their cruel Care	L
Th' unfortunate and abject Heir	L
Guardians most fit to entertain	M
The Orphan of the Hurricane	M
	-
They fed him up with Hopes and Air	L
Which soon digested to Despair	L
And as one Corm'rant fed him still	N
Another on his Heart did bill	N
Thus while they famish him and feast	O
He both consumed and increast	O
And languished with doubtful Breath	P
Th' Amphibium of Life and Death	P
	-
And now when angry Heaven wou'd	O
Behold a spectacle of Blood	O
Fortune and He are call'd to play	E
At sharp before it all the day	E
And Tyrant Love his brest does ply	Q
With all his wing'd Artillery	R
Whilst he betwixt the Flames and Waves	A
Like Ajax the mad Tempest braves	A
	-
See how he nak'd and fierce does stand	O
Cuffing the Thunder with one hand	O
While with the other he does lock	S
And grapple with the stubborn Rock	S
From which he with each Wave rebounds	A
Torn into Flames and ragg'd with Wounds	A
And all he saies a Lover drest	O
In his own Blood does relish best	O
	-
This is the only Banneret	O
That ever Love created yet	O
Who though by the Malignant Starrs	A
Forced to live in Storms and Warrs	A
Yet dying leaves a Perfume here	T
And Musick within every Ear	T
And he in Story only rules	A
In a Field Sable a Lover Gules	A
