Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD ACACEEFA GHFHIIJI DKDKLMCCIntroth I do my self perswade | A |
That the wilde boy is grown a man | B |
And all his childishnesse off laid | A |
E're since Lucasta did his fires fan | B |
H' has left his apish jigs | C |
And whipping hearts like gigs | C |
For t' other day I heard him swear | D |
That beauty should be crown'd in honours chair | D |
- | |
With what a true and heavenly state | A |
He doth his glorious darts dispence | C |
Now cleans'd from falsehood blood and hate | A |
And newly tipt with innocence | C |
Love Justice is become | E |
And doth the cruel doome | E |
Reversed is the old decree | F |
Behold he sits inthron'd with majestie | A |
- | |
Inthroned in Lucasta's eye | G |
He doth our faith and hearts survey | H |
Then measures them by sympathy | F |
And each to th' others breast convey | H |
Whilst to his altars now | I |
The frozen vestals bow | I |
And strickt Diana too doth go | J |
A hunting with his fear'd exchanged bow | I |
- | |
Th' imbracing seas and ambient air | D |
Now in his holy fires burn | K |
Fish couple birds and beasts in pair | D |
Do their own sacrifices turn | K |
This is a miracle | L |
That might religion swell | M |
But she that these and their god awes | C |
Her crowned self submits to her own laws | C |
