THE APPARITION OF HIS MISTRESS	A
CALLING HIM TO ELYSIUM	B
	-
DESUNT NONNULLA	C
	-
Come then and like two doves with silvery wings	D
Let our souls fly to th' shades wherever springs	D
Sit smiling in the meads where balm and oil	C
Roses and cassia crown the untill'd soil	C
Where no disease reigns or infection comes	E
To blast the air but amber gris and gums	E
This that and ev'ry thicket doth transpire	F
More sweet than storax from the hallow'd fire	F
Where ev'ry tree a wealthy issue bears	G
Of fragrant apples blushing plums or pears	G
And all the shrubs with sparkling spangles shew	H
Like morning sun shine tinselling the dew	H
Here in green meadows sits eternal May	I
Purfling the margents while perpetual day	I
So double gilds the air as that no night	J
Can ever rust th' enamel of the light	J
Here naked younglings handsome striplings run	K
Their goals for virgins' kisses which when done	K
Then unto dancing forth the learned round	L
Commix'd they meet with endless roses crown'd	L
And here we'll sit on primrose banks and see	M
Love's chorus led by Cupid and we'll he	M
Two loving followers too unto the grove	N
Where poets sing the stories of our love	O
There thou shalt hear divine Musaeus sing	P
Of Hero and Leander then I'll bring	P
Thee to the stand where honour'd Homer reads	Q
His Odyssees and his high Iliads	Q
About whose throne the crowd of poets throng	R
To hear the incantation of his tongue	S
To Linus then to Pindar and that done	K
I'll bring thee Herrick to Anacreon	K
Quaffing his full crown'd bowls of burning wine	K
And in his raptures speaking lines of thine	K
Like to his subject and as his frantic	T
Looks shew him truly Bacchanalian like	U
Besmear'd with grapes welcome he shall thee thither	F
Where both may rage both drink and dance together	F
Then stately Virgil witty Ovid by	V
Whom fair Corinna sits and doth comply	V
With ivory wrists his laureat head and steeps	Q
His eye in dew of kisses while he sleeps	Q
Then soft Catullus sharp fang'd Martial	C
And towering Lucan Horace Juvenal	C
And snaky Persius these and those whom rage	W
Dropt for the jars of heaven fill'd t' engage	W
All times unto their frenzies thou shalt there	F
Behold them in a spacious theatre	F
Among which glories crown'd with sacred bays	Q
And flatt'ring ivy two recite their plays	Q
Beaumont and Fletcher swans to whom all ears	Q
Listen while they like sirens in their spheres	Q
Sing their Evadne and still more for thee	M
There yet remains to know than thou canst see	M
By glimm'ring of a fancy Do but come	B
And there I'll shew thee that capacious room	X
In which thy father Jonson now is placed	Y
As in a globe of radiant fire and graced	Y
To be in that orb crown'd that doth include	Z
Those prophets of the former magnitude	Z
And he one chief But hark I hear the cock	A2
The bell man of the night proclaim the clock	A2
Of late struck One and now I see the prime	B2
Of day break from the pregnant east 'tis time	B2
I vanish more I had to say	Q
But night determines here Away	Q
