But had his doings lafted as they were,
He had been an immortal Carrier.
Obedient to the Moon he spent his date
In courfe reciprocal, and had his fate
Link'd to the mutual flowing of the Seas,

Yet (ftrange to think) his wain was his increase:
His Letters are deliver'd all and gon,
Only remains this Superfcription.

On the new forcers of Confcience under
the Long PARLIAMENT.

Ecaufe you have thrown off your Prelate Lord,

To feife the widow'd whore Pluralitie
From them whofe fin ye envi'd, not abhorr'd,
Dare ye for this adjure the civil fword

To force our confciences that Chrift fet free,
And ride us with a claffic Hierarchy
Taught ye by meer 4. S. and Rutherford?
Men whofe life, learning, faith and pure intent
Would have been held in high efteem with Paul
Must now be nam'd and printed Hereticks,
By fhallow Edwards and Scotch what d'ye call:
But we do hope to find out all your tricks,
Your plots and packing worfe than thofe of Trent,
That fo the Parliament 15
May with their wholfom and preventive shears
Clip your phylacteries, though bank your ears,
And fuccour our just fears:

When they shall read this clearly in your charge,
New Presbyter is but Old Prief writ large.

PYRRHAM. ODE V.

Uis multa gracilis te puer in rofà
Perfufus liquidis urget odoribus,
Grato, Pyrrha, fub antro?

Cui flavam religas comam
Simplex munditiis? beu quoties fidem
Mutatosque deos flebit, & afpera,
Nigris aquora ventis
Emirabitur infolens,

Qui nunc te fruitur credulus aureâ?
Qui femper vacuam, femper amabilem
Sperat, nefcius aure

Fallacis. miferi, quibus

Intentata nites. me tabulâ facer
Votiva paries indicat uvida
Sufpendiffe potenti

Veftimenta maris Deo.

The fifth ODE of Horace, Lib. I. Rendred almoft word for word without Rhyme, according to the Latin measure, as near as the language will permit.

W

Hat flender Youth bedew'd with liquid odours
Courts thee on rofes in fome pleasant cave,
Pyrrha, for whom bind'ft thou

In wreaths thy golden hair,

Plain in thy neatnefs? O how oft shall he
On Faith and changed Gods complain and feas
Rough with black winds and storms
Unwonted shall admire,

Who now enjoys thee credulous, all Gold;
Who always vacant, always amiable

Hopes thee; of flattering gales
Unmindful. Haplefs they

To whom thou untry'd feem'ft fair. Me in
Picture the facred wall declares t'have hung
My dank and dropping weeds

To the stern God of Sea.

SONNET 1.
To the Nightingale.

Nightingale, that on yon bloomy spray

Warbl'ft at eeve, when all the woods are fill, Thou with fresh hope the Lover's heart doft fill, While the jolly hours lead on propitious May; Thy liquid notes that clofe the eye of Day, First heard before the fhallow Cuccoo's bill Portend fuccefs in love; O, if Jove's will Have link'd that amorous pow'r to thy foft lay, Now timely fing, ere the rude Bird of hate Foretel my hopeless doom in fome grove ny; As thou from year to year haft fung too late For my relief, yet hadft no reason why, Whether the Mufe, or Love call thee his mate Both them I ferve, and of their train am 1.

Donna leggiadra il cui bel nome honora
L' berbofa val di Rheno, e il nobil varco
Ben è colui d'ogni valore fcarco
Qual tuo fpirto gentil non innamora,
Che dolcemente moftra fi di fuora
De fui atti foavi giamai parco,
Ei don', che fon d'amor faette ed arco,
La onde l'alta tua virtù s'infiora.
Quando tu vaga parli, o lieta canti

Che mover poffa duro alpefire legno,
Guardi ciafcun a gli occhi, ed a gli orecchi
L'entrata, chi di te fi truova indegno;
Gratia fola di fu gli vaglia, inanti
Che'l defio amoroso al cuor s'invecchi.
